Harvard and UNC are well intentioned but they are trying to fix inequities which start much earlier. They sit at the end of 12 years of schooling for applicants, where the quality of that schooling and the level of funding for extra curricular activities will have been vastly different based on where that student lived and which school they attended. Trying to fix this problem at the college admissions level creates the unintended effect and consequence that Asians and whites who are objectively better academic candidates get rejected in favor of non white/Asian candidates with lower academic scores. That is wrong and it's discrimination on the sole basis of the color of your skin. The real fight needs to be about fixing our education system so every kid of every race and everywhere gets the same high quality education. It means giving parents school choice to take their kids to private school instead of the poorly run public schools that may be near them. It means raising the standards for training teachers so they can have real workable educational tools to make sure their students succeed. You can't fix this broken system with more racism, and it was wrong to try to do so.
