    What exactly is the plan for righting historical injustices? Well I guess we elected Obama.

    Crackers whining about the 100m race being unfair when they get to start at 90 and black people aren’t even on the track

        Some are undoubtedly wrong on this but Asian Americans face discrimination of their own

            I don’t understand why they don’t switch to zip code instead? Would basically be admissions gerrymandering at that point and we all know how that’s allowed lol

              As I understand it, the University of California system (where AA was abolished via a statewide vote in 2020) has basically switched to using economic background.

                  Yeah. The main issue being that poverty and race, while correlated, aren’t perfect reflections of each other.

                  Add on top of that the UC system’s funding woes and increased focus on out-of-state (and international) students to fill funding gaps and there you go.
