How do you propose to get capable but economically disadvantaged students of color into the more elite institutions?

Yes, AA is racist on the face of it. Taking one student or employee over another solely on the basis of race is racist. Can you say it is not? Give your logic for that.

Perfect example of Democrats doing bad things (discrimination on the basis of race) because the they think the goal is good(helping disadvantaged students of color).

Where is the help for disadvantaged students of no color?

If they are capable, they can get in on merit. If they are economically disadvantaged, they can get aid on the same basis - need - as anybody else.

Right... so poor inner-city black kids can't compete with the SAT scores of all the well-off kids with years of private tutors and SAT prep courses. To say nothing of the cultural bias of the standardized testing that multiple studies have pointed out.

But every elite institution should just pick the top 0.002% of SAT scores and see how that plays out. Lots of white/Asian faces on those campuses and not much else.

So you think some of those Asian faces should be denied? Or just the white faces?Racism 101 - pick the ones you want to discriminate against. Find a reason to do it. Something to make you feel justified in doing it. That's exactly what Hitler did.

Supporting affirmative action is not comparable to the holocaust!!!!

What of the following did Hitler not do : Pick the ones you want to discriminate against. Find a reason to do it. Something to make you feel justified in doing it.

What of the following is not the playbook for AA: Pick the ones you want to discriminate against. Find a reason to do it. Something to make you feel justified in doing it.

This could be fun to listen to. Im all ears to find what in that pathway is different on substantive level.
