SCOTUS struck down AA b/c it’s allegedly discriminatory. Here’s the Facts:
•AA benefitted white women more than all other groups COMBINED—plaintiffs never complained about that
•43% of white Harvard students are legacy or athlete students, of which 75% would not be admitted otherwise—plaintiffs never complained about that
•Asians are 6% of the population & 26% of Harvard admissions—plaintiffs never complained about that
This SCOTUS ruling is 100% anti-fact & 100% anti-Black racism.
@QasimRashid
We must realize the vision of the Radical Republicans and MLK Jr.
However, may I get your source on this?
Just like the Founding Fathers intended!
@QasimRashid It's an interesting shibboleth; consider these two facts:
1.) "Asians are 6% of the population & 26% of Harvard admissions"
2.) "Practically speaking, the school (Harvard) effectively mandated that Asian-American applicants score 140 points higher than white students" (https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-america-fell-out-of-love-with-affirmative-action)
Which of those facts pisses you off more?
I think in some way it has to do with how you think of individuals vs. groups.

Regarding the decision: schools are allowed to consider individual circumstances, but I don't know how practical it is to use that to address this problem.

@QasimRashid You’re wrong about a crucial point…. Asians aren’t 6% of the population; they’re 60% of the population.
Harvard’s student population comes from the whole world rather than just the U.S., so comparing the percentage of students of a certain race against the percentage of the U.S. population of that race is B.S.
It’s an intentionally misleading statistic used to make white students look underrepresented when in actuality they are drastically over represented.

@QasimRashid Harvard was absolutely in the wrong here.
They were abusing their race-based admissions policy to reinforce systemic white supremacy rather than to correct it.
The Supreme Court is *also* in the wrong because they are using Harvard’s bad behavior as an excuse to throw out the entire concept of Affirmative Action, when it’s clear that the problem was specific to Harvard’s implementation rather than a fundamental aspect of Affirmative Action.

That we have six fascist lunatics running the country probably should be taken more seriously by apolitical moderates.
It's difficult convincing them, because they don't want to believe SCOTUS could be so distant from what they think it's supposed to be. They'd rather just be like "ehh, they're bad i guess but it's probably fine" than admit their imminent removal is necessary, and we have to guide them to the latter.
