      List of demands presented to Stanford includes tracking and reporting the share of black population that is "enslaved-descended African American" (EDDA) and a separate endowment reserved for EDDA. Also calls for end of standardized testing requirement https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/06/19/letter-to-the-president-provost-of-stanford-university-concerning-a-george-floyd-action-plan/ …pic.twitter.com/5O9nln0D7j

      Back in 2004, Henry Louis Gates Jr. estimated that up to 2/3 of Harvard undergraduates were West Indian and African immigrants or their children or children of biracial couples. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/24/us/top-colleges-take-more-blacks-but-which-ones.html …pic.twitter.com/vKDwKgq6r3

      Gates and Lani Guinier spoke up at the time about their concern that the intended beneficiaries of affirmative action were being left behind and replaced by newcomers from abroad.pic.twitter.com/iMqImg77vE

      The preponderance of immigrant children displacing EDDA reflects both the higher academic achievement of the latter group as well as the legal justification for affirmative action shifting from a form of reparations to a "benefits of diversity" rationale

      Affirmative action was first conceived as a form of reparations meant to remedy an injury done to a specific community. But the Supreme Court could only justify such departures from the race neutrality dictated by the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 with reference to "diversity"

      Student activism around this issue emerged in the last few years. EDDA is a fairly recent coinage -- the first I've seen it myself -- that seems a more politically correct version of ADOS "Americans Descendants of Slavery" that avoids the nativism present in that movement.

      Replying to @wesyang

      It's also presumably intended to head off complaints about non-black descendents of slaves.
