Federal Judge Rules Harvard Does Not Discriminate Against Asian-Americans
- throwawaysea 7y agoThis ruling is a travesty and I hope the Supreme Court overturns it when this is appealed. It is very clear that race-conscious admissions are systematically racist and discriminatory. Take a look at the distribution of students by race in the University of California system, where they're not permitted to discriminate in this manner, thanks to Prop 209 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_California_Proposition_209 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_California_Proposition_20...) - it is very different (more Asians) compared to private schools like Harvard.

- deogeo 7y agoSame story reported by NPR discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21129654 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21129654 - does this count as a duplicate?
- dang 7y agoYes.
- tim333 7y agoThe headline seems a bit clickbait. Obviously affirmative action discriminates against those who don't get in to make room for the favoured minority. But the court said >Ultimately, the Court finds that Harvard has met its burden of showing that its admissions process complies with the principles articulated by the Supreme Court in Fisher II... which is different.
- nomnomnom01 7y agoThis is what happens when liberal politics gets involved. Its not okay to discriminate the liberals say, but that's all they do. Liberals have a protected class and this includes african americans, hispanics, women, and homeless people. They get special treatment and many of them get to break the laws everyone else has to follow. Its ridiculous and nothing other than discriminate and special treatment. That's the liberal way and no one can argue against that with a valid argument.
