        All i need to know is it takes race as a deciding factor, therefore is racist and immoral.

        Given the history of America, and when Affirmative Action was implemented, you have all the faith that people would allow minorities and women entrance into jobs, schools, clubs solely based on their skill set and their educational prowess?

        Considering its 2018, yes. Can you cite evidence to the contrary? Also so you favor a racist practice becuase it benifits your beliefs, sounds pretty immoral. The free market would decide this.

        Meaning, over 40% believe ethnic groups are out to “get” what belongs to WASPs and they must be stopped; by any necessary. You should also see who benefits more from affirmative action.

        Asians don’t benefit from affirmative action? Seriously? Affirmative action is for all minorities and ethnic groups. White women benefit from affirmative action more than any group of color. Pleas don’t be daft.

        Please research harvard. Asians ate discriminated against becuase of race. You are pretty ignorant of this topic are you sure you know enough about it? AA is very racist.https://www.npr.org/2018/10/15/656974751/does-harvard-treat-asian-american-applicants-unfairly-the-case-goes-to-trial …

        Asians aren’t a part of this lawsuit. Edward Blum brought this lawsuit forth. He is the same man who brought the lawsuit that got section 5 of the civil rights code struck down. And again, we see how Republicans and White people want to hinder minorities from voting.

        Given its title, I trust this article is about legacy admissions, correct? Kushner as the prime example?

        @npr is notoriously anti Asian. They have written numerous stories saying the large amount of Asian-Americans in Silicon Valley is a problem but they employ way less Asians than techhttps://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2018/01/23/570204215/nprs-staff-diversity-numbers-2017 …
