The Harvard trial isn’t really about affirmative action, though. That’s already been judged to be legitimate. This is about specific, covert discrimination against Asian-Americans that goes beyond what the Supreme Court allows.
Affirmative action receives criticism in media, but only because the victim group is another nonwhite group.

Actually, affirmative action has often been ruled against in courts. But they just change the method used slightly and then it gets a new court case, even though these methods produce equivalent results (e.g. quota vs. within group norms).

Yes. It’s a shame that Harvard’s method (labelled ‘demographic’ in their internal model) is unlikely to be scrapped as a result of this case.

Bizarre. Harvard: we discriminate to ensure a rough balance of the nation's population - not purely on academics. Asians: stop discriminating against academic high achievers! Harvard: huh? Case is damage limitation to maintain facade that H does more of the latter than former
