Not sure if this a is serious tweet but while a good argument I theory there is exactly zero chance the current right wing federal bench would read he fourteenth amendment or civil right act to prohibit anything that’s formally race neutral no matter how actually discriminatory.

One of the major projects of the conservative legal movement over the past thirty years or so is reading down the 14th amendment until the only remaining principle is that you can’t use a race word in the rule.

People who are resentful of affirmative action have no problem with racial and elitist preferences or the impact of racial discrimination, as long as it limits the access and inclusion of people they think should be their inferiors. Only inferiors care about anti-racist justice.

The fact that they haven't proves these "affirmative action" lawsuits were never about fairness on any level.

Somewhat oddly plaintiff’s lawsuit (as captured in statistician’s writeup) is largely silent on this other than as model distortions. (I presume bc Harvard is still 20% Asian and they want to benefit later (this being an descrim that solves itself over 2 or 3 generations)?)

The current lawsuit covers it to an extent. The verbal arguments had a lot of it.

Q: Any place that is accessible on-line?

I think they are being sued for not allowing more qualified Asians because of racial quota’s. That’s racist. Legacy admissions feels more like nepotism than racism. In one generation it’ll be a majority Asian legacies.

Harvard (and Hogwarts) are simply trying to milk the alumni donor base. That would probably be an effective legal--though not PR--defense against a lawsuit.
