I'm curious whether it's the same type of discrimination that this study presents. I.e. is it "group A is undesirable" or is it "most applications are from group A, and so when we positively discriminate for diversity/equity reasons, group A is most affected in terms of absolute counts" your excerpt seems to suggest the former, but my previous assumption was that it was the latter.

It's pretty clearly the former, otherwise they could just call it affirmative action which is widely accepted and legal.

> positively discriminate for diversity/equity reasons Must be nice to be so privileged you can make up nice names for plain old racism. You mean discrimiate against Asian and white people for flawed diversity and equity reasons. Most of the black people who end up in these universities are privilleged children of immigrants. Those black faces you see around you are from Nigeria, not Chicago.
