[THREAD] 1/ Equity-on-steroids in admissions is now officially underway. The UCSF medical school class of 2020 was 60% Asian. (And even that percentage probably reflected merit discrimination against Asians.) The Asian share for the 2024 class is 20%. https://twitter.com/chloe_cheng7/status/1278489590110642176 …

2/ Here's the most staggeringly offensive thing of all: These percentages do *not* reflect the demographic percentages in California. Blacks are 6% of California's population but 19% of the admitted.

4/ Not only is UCSF not even pretending to comply with California's ban against affirmative action, they're also not even pretending to try to represent the state's actual demographic make-up. So, it's not even “equity” (which is unfair enough), but in-your-face favoritism.

5/ Will this finally wake Asians the f*** up? On balance, I'd say, probably not. There will be a few scraggly anti-affirmative action groups like the one just started in San Diego a few weeks ago, but these likely won't build enough public support to do much.

Washington State Asians recently launched and passed a statewide ballot intiative banning affirmative action. Their group was also "scraggly," but they organized like hell and won.
