SCOTUS OVERTURNED RACE BASED COLLEGE ADMISSIONS

[Kosher Dill]

Universities are obviously going to find ways to circumvent it like they have in California for many years, but it's at least nice as an affirmation of principles from the Court.

Yes, I suspect they're just going to evaluate each student on his personal characteristics from now on. "Coincidentally all the black applicants this year had soul, and all the Asians were pencil-necked nerds with no life outside the classroom, in the expert judgement of our evaluators. Well, what can you do?"

In practice what this will amount to is a new tax on affirmative action - if you want to keep doing it, the charade to hide it from the letter of the law just got more complicated and expensive. That's about as good a result as we can hope for, as most places without multibillion-dollar endowments will likely say "Screw this".

I see a lot of cope from the Left saying, "This is going to throw college admissions into chaos! What will admissions officers do?!"

Gee, here's an idea, strip off any personally identifiable information, and just evaluate each anonymized applicant solely on the basis of their GPA, test scores, and extracurriculars.

"BUT THAT WILL DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NEGROES AND LATINKSES!"

If black and Latino students aren't putting in the effort to get good grades and solid test scores, they don't belong in college.

This is the best thing ever to happen to the black community, because telling them that they don't need to be as good as everyone else because "muh institutional racism" only breeds a culture of contempt for success.

If you wanted to know who sided with who:

 

[Coffee Mugshot]

The ANGRY WHITES are changing policy so that a hurricane of Asian students can gain an even great share of the US higher education system. 360D chess right there.

I recall seeing some back of the napkin modeling on what it would look like if admissions were purely based on test scores, and because of population size differences, White people really only went down a few % points. Asians gained a lot, Hispanics and Blacks would be the major losers. It was like... white people would go from 58% to 55% or something similar.

I don't get angle of the SCOTUS here, how exactly is this going to help increase white admissions to college? Clearly, this paves the way for schools like Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, etc. to now be pay-to-win in terms of entry but how does it help the everyday American? I think you all are celebrating a win for the ultra-wealthy disguised as a win for all of us, I don't think there is any real benefit to anyone here that wasn't born with a silver spoon firmly rammed up their ass.

You ain't black unless you voted for him, don't forget.

I find it funny that they want to admit in students that don’t belong there, but then scream and cry about how much more student loan debt these two groups have that they can’t pay off. It’s almost like they make for shitty students and terrible employees. I think many drop out/ flunk out as well but I don’t remember if that was outsized relative to other groups.

 

[Georgio Cocklord]

I wouldn’t really say it’s the same stupidity though, what you described in Asian countries just sounds like good old fashioned nepotism

It started out as an attempt by marxists to "uplift the education standards" of tribals, women, religious minorities and the poor through affirmative action. This is what it has become after 60 years.

 

[Gunter Hatherer]

The trustees of the Ivies (I mean their lawyers) will find a sneakier way to get what they want, and the lesser colleges will follow.

And of course there will be no improvement in the "education" on offer. A Harvard degree has value at this point only if you're already a member of the ruling class and know the right people.

Twenty years ago I'd cheer this ruling, but now it does not matter.
Who cares if admission to an entirely corrupt institution is "fair"?

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

Of course the left is probably going to riot because they can't silently hate on Asians institutionally anymore. I don't know why they go out of their way to sabotage the Asians, but it's got to stop. The Asian Hate from the left within academia and other institutions is gross, and it's on full display here with the more left-wing members of the court supporting these anti-Asian policies.

 

[AgendaPoster]

I would not celebrate.
The universities will double down. You have no idea how easy it is to statistically decide which race a person is, without having to ask or see them, especially with AI.
But this step might've been unavoidable towards something else.
And that something else is freedom of association. You should not have to associate with groups of people you dislike or fear. That's the real goal, not colorblind lunacy, which is unscientific and just an idealistic attempt at keeping ethnic conflicts down.

If you're applying to university, now is the time to change your name to "Jamal Johnson"

There’s another tax on it, too: the risk of lawsuit.

Just some quick math: based on Google, Harvard sees ~54k applicants with an acceptance rate of ~3.5%, which means around ~52k rejected applicants every year. If just 0.1% of them decide to sue, that’s like 50 lawsuits every year. I suspect we will start seeing lawsuits in the near future, and depending on how the settlements for those go (because the schools WILL settle, they do not want to shine a light on how their admissions process actually works) it may arise a new affirmative action grift where someone with good test scores etc. applies to as many prestigious schools as possible and sues every single one that rejects him.

This is what they wanted. Now all Ivy-league bullshit schools will be filled only with applicants they pick out and there will no longer be the exceptional nigger that gets in, that is one more spot for the ultra-wealthy to buy into.

A lot of you speak as if you have no experience within higher education and it is showing, whites never had trouble getting into regular universities and niggers only ever flood entry-level AA/AS classes. Once someone makes it to upper-division courses the amount of niggers/spics drops drastically and when a person enters a masters program there are next to no niggers at all. Where you all get it mixed up is looking at admission standards, try looking at racial stats of graduates. Sure, they'll let niggers in so they can saddle them with some unavoidable debt but actually help them graduate? Nah. Not happening.

Of course the left is probably going to riot because they can't silently hate on Asians institutionally anymore. I don't know why they go out of their way to sabotage the Asians, but it's got to stop.

Fuck those #2 pencil niggers. If they're so superior to the white race, as they claim, they can go get superior education from their own people in their native lands. Then they can come back and whip me up some stir-fry after I get my hair and nails refreshed by their cousins.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Going to Harvard is how you get to know the right people. That's always been the point - it's never been some sort of attempt to unite the world's greatest geniuses.

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

Finally. Can't wait to see the absolute screeching and crying this will engender.

"This is an opportunity for universities to get creative"

Edit: Starting soon. Will Biden say "nigger" on television?

The United States military is proof that diversity is good.

THE ADVERSITY STANDARD

Discrimination still exists in America.
Discrimination still exists in America.
DISCRIMINATION STILL EXISTS IN AMERICA.

Journo: "Is this a rogue Court?" Biden: "This is not a normal Court."

Dementia brain sounds really weird. I hope he gets on a debate stage next year. He's using repetition as a coping mechanism, and he can't read numbers/percentages for shit.

 

[Spunt]

"Race is a social construct and therefore arbitrary and meaningless, therefore racism is irrational as well as morally wrong."

"But we must also base important, life-altering decisions about people based entirely on this arbitrary social construct that has no meaning."

"Our ideology is scientific and rational."

This is your brain on woke.

 

[Average Thulean Man]

Sure do wish this passed before I was in the small minority of whites at a historically black college. I almost certainly got denied entry to actual good schools because I wasn't brown or gay enough.
