> You're saying that nothing other than the immutable biological character of one person (Black) versus another (Asian) should form the basis of preferential treatment. My comment was not normative. It was descriptive. I was just describing what Harvard seems to be trying to do. Harvard wants to have its cake and eat it too. They want to have a very high average SAT. They also want to admit more Black applicants. This is one way to do that. We don't know what the unintended consequences will be. If they put too much of a thumb on the scale, potential employers may adjust their recruiting strategies to compensate.
