Federal judge rules Harvard does not discriminate against Asian Americans in admissions

Harvard hasn't been found of illegally discriminating on the basis of race. They'll only be more emboldened by this, expect harsher criteria designed to keep admissions of Asians at a ceiling.

Harvard might have wished they lost this case today. If this goes to the supreme court the entire framework of Affirmative Action will be torn apart. I'm 90% sure the supreme court will come to a conclusion that race based admissions inevitably lead to racial quotas, which would basically force the same type of race blind admissions that happens already in California public schools nationwide.

I really do not understand the word salad Harvard used to differentiate between a racial "target" and a "quota". i think any rational person knows that the two are the same thing and the differentiation used by Harvard is just legal gas lighting.

There is a high chance it might due to the current, and likely future configuration of the court. RBG is too sick and will probably step down or pass away. As a Democrat, I am torn because I think Harvard's admission policy is absolute bullshit. But on the other hand, an ultra ring wing court will attack so many things that benefit all minorities, including Asians (like family immigration)

This here. We need to look at the bigger picture.

Maybe we Asians should start creating our own colleges and universities like black people did with HBCU’s.

And I bet those Asian colleges / universities would become way better than Harvard and the other Ivy leagues in academics and research

STEM is good for Asians if their knowledge and expertise only benefit Asians from a business standpoint. This isn't the case at the moment.

Cooper Union has a lot of Asian Students? The entire neighborhood where the school is located, is infested with privileged Whites, who live the hog life at the expense of minorities like the Asians.

Cooper Union has a lot of White students who only go for an easy major like Architecture or Fine Arts, while Asians go into Engineering and work for White people upon graduation. I can bet that this is the situation there.

FUCK Harvard for the manner in which they are using race in this instance (explicitly docking Asians on characteristics like personableness and leadership) but unfortunately the leadership of students for fair admissions has for years been trying to undermine affirmative action in the United States (led by a white man named Edward Blum who has his own motives). This lawsuit just proves it's cool to bring other marginal groups up at the expense of Asians. This is something the entire pan asian community has to deal with all the time in the United States, doesn't matter if you're ethnically Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Nepalese whatever. The Democrats have made it quite clear where we are in the totem pole.

The whites, ESPECIALLY liberals have always gotten to decide whether we're minorities or not, only when it's convenient to them for us to be one.

Let's be honest, if the personality ratings were honest and not racist then Asians would probably score highest due to desirable traits of consciousness or agreeability while pink male privilegeds most likely score high on undesirable traits such as entitlement and narcissism. We all know this is true, and that's why the racism is so clear and evident.
