It is described as a minor, marginal policy, but all players understand that abandoning the formal racial discrimination policies would cause instantaneous hits to enrollment of favored racial minorities of roughly 50% or more, as has indeed happened when particular formal racial discrimination policies were found illegal.
It's marginal for the majority population. Not for the minority group. Its like handicapped parking. If you were to remove them, your parking situation only sees a marginal improvement, but for the handicap it's probably a big deal.
- jkot 12y agoAre asians part of majority population or minority group?
- kenjackson 12y agoThe minority population. The small percentage of Blacks in college doesn't impact greatly the percentage of Asians at Ivy League schools. It's a red herring.

- rmc 12y agoThis is why I use the word "margalised group" instead of "minority". Black people in apartheid South Africa made up up the majority of the population, but were very definetly margalised.
