Curiously, the implication is that the children of black immigrants do not need any assistance in the admissions process because — presumably — the wrong that begs for correction is slavery, not any kind of persisting racism.

None of this is meant to be self consistent beyond pure self-interest.

Historical slavery is a magical force of the victim mystics. It appears when they feel they can benefit from it and it disapears when they don't need it.

I'm not aware of any good numbers on this for college admissions specifically, but African migrants who arrive after 13 or so do really really well on all the standard social functioning and success metrics, and I'd be beyond shocked if they weren't over-represented at Ivies.

In general, legal immigrants have to pass a pretty strong filter. (If I weren't a US citizen, it would be very difficult for me to become one, because I don't have a college degree and I'm not wealthy. Marriage would be my only viable route.)

Umm... yes? Haven't they been pretty clear about this kind of residual systemic racism? Although "slavery" and ADOS is also used as a proxy for the legacy of other things like Jim crow, redlining, etc

Yes, it seems odd to me that people who lean towards denying personal agency for determining desert still want "justice" based on restitution for past wrongs, when you think it would just lead them to ordinary needs based egalitarianism.

Tbh this is why I like this line of thinking. Separate the socioeconomic harm that was historically based on race from the race itself. It’s the right dividing line.
