    Bliss, it's not that colleges don't want Asians. What they don't want is Asians to be overrepresented on their campuses. At schools like UCLA and Berkley, for example, although Asians represent less than 6% of the U.S. population and 11% of California, they make up over 40% of the student population at the aforementioned schools.

    What's worse is that nearly half of all HS grads from California are Black or Latino. So a great state school like UCLA is failing its core mission to educate its residents.
    California passed Prop 209 in 1997 in favor of colorblind admissions and this was the result.


    What's funny is when Affirmative Action became a part of U.S. law in 1961, it was meant to remedy centuries of racial discrimination experienced by Blacks.
    Now anyone who's a non-White male believes they should be considered for college admissions under AA.smh

    This is a great article from Columbia on the 7 myths about Affirmative Action.
    http://www.columbia.edu/content/seven-myths-about-affirmative-action-universities.html
    (The fourth myth discussed is particularly insightful.)

    I was under the impression that private universities weren't subject to affirmative action policies,(although they do rigorously practice them) due to the First Amendment.

    Look, I know it sucks if you're Asian, have a 4.2 GPA, graduate top 5% of your HS class and have near perfect SAT scores and still don't get into the school of your choice, despite it appearing you achieved all the academic criteria. However grades and high test scores isn't enough. And I don't think this lawsuit will force any university to reveal the details of their admissions selection process.

    According to the Columbia U. article, below is but a general list of the qualifications applicants need for admission to elite public and private universities. Notice many of these categories can be broadly interpreted;

    High school grade point average;

    The rigor of the high school courses taken;


    Alumni relationships (parent, sibling, or grandparent);


    Quality of the essay;


    Personal achievement;


    Leadership and service;


    Socio-economically disadvantaged student or education;


    Athletic ability;


    Underrepresented racial or ethnic minority identity or education; and


    Residency in an under-represented region.


    Seriously, one of the best ways to get into a top 10 school is to move someplace like South Dakota for HS.

    I'll say this: whether you identify as a conservative or a liberal, this is a really, really bad time to centrist. The far left and far right wings of both parties are winning.

    Well you could make the argument that liberals aren't winning at all! But within the Democratic party, since the election, the group that has done best for itself is the "Bernie" side of the party. For example, the party has begun to adopt medicare for all more broadly.

    We're a dying breed.

    Centrism is the way the US system was designed. Extremists can never get anything done.

    These dudes are literally outsourcing the job of fucking their women to black "bucks". Only a matter of time before the white woman looks to cut out the middleman.

    The cuckold game is popular because the white men think all black men want to take the white man's wife--and do this for his entertainment as he watches or films. It's really strange when you think about it.
