Assuming this to be true(and I generally do), you end up with a different problem - that of resentment. There are groups of people who will be upset that they couldn't get into a school because they were the "wrong" race. So you still have a racism problem at the end of the day; just a lesser-known version. This is where I prefer things like BlackGirlsCode.com to try and work on these issues "on the side"[1] to raise academic performance, so the school in the big public spotlight like Harvard don't have to take sides in the controversy and just admit people based on scores, achievements, whatever... just not the controversial stuff like gender, race, etc. _______ 1. When I say "on the side", I basically mean that probably nobody is going to be upset at BlackGirlsCode.com enough to actually file a lawsuit(and have a chance at winning) the way Harvard is getting sued now. Is this fair/right? Probably not, but I think this is the best way to navigate the shaky terrain of public opinion & racism.
