If you look at the elite UC numbers pre- and post-prop 209, the most dramatic numeric fluctuations happened between white and asian students,...
The response is so typical Cometswin. I was simply refuting his implication that Californians are unsatisfied with their current admission system...
The disparate impact is debatable. Sure, overall enrollment numbers have gone down, but graduation numbers have stayed fairly constant. In...
Er...no. Certain minority senators fishing for votes don't like those results. There's a good chance the bill will die in California Congress due...
Well, California has been doing it or at least a close approximation of it for almost two decades, so it can't be that hard. You clearly just...
I'd wager that almost everyone on here protesting AA would be totally fine with a holistic approach that didn't include race. So really, they're...
What total bs. There are plenty of Asians trying to bring awareness to and break the so-called bamboo ceiling; you just don't hear about because...
It's a good thing they didn't ask about Muslims.
Ah, the old "Asian kids aren't well-rounded" argument. Putting aside the fact that the entire "holistic" approach was invented to keep Jews out of...
It's not just Koreans; east Asians on average have fewer apocrine sweat glands. And of course diet affects body odor; it's not something...
Dude, what are you talking about? The Japanese are almost universally reviled in most of east Asia. Their military did a lot of bad stuff in SE...
Some of the people posting here should do some research into the history of affirmative action programs in America. It was a brainchild of the...
I'm not here to argue the aesthetics of diversity or theorize about how it does or does not help academic environments. Do you or do you not...
What? Where did I claim that black people get breaks in society? I was simply going off your under-representation argument; no more and no less....
Actually, the UC system already has a de facto system of AA based on economic status. After prop 209 was passed, UC administrators had to find...
Trust me, I know perfectly well how AA works and how some groups are more "diverse" than others under its twisted logic. This is like that time...
Because that way would take a lot more public resources on the front end (though probably less in the long run) and the results would take far too...
Do you mean the front end? (ie primary/secondary education, parental involvement, etc.) SCA-5 is precisely trying to address the issue on the back...
Clearly Asians, an umbrella classification of people with roots in hundreds of different countries, are not diverse in the least. Neither are...
Normally, I would say this has no chance of passing, but the problem is that even white kids are being shut out, so there's no telling how white...
