The Trump administration threw its weight Friday behind a student group that says Harvard University discriminates against Asian-Americans in its admissions process, urging a federal judge Friday not to keep years' worth of admissions records under wraps.

The move by the Justice Department forecasts the emerging fault lines in what could serve as the first major affirmative action case of the Trump administration.
The fight surrounding the secrecy of the Harvard's competitive admissions process stems from a 2014 lawsuit brought by Students for Fair Admissions, a nonprofit organization that argues race-conscious admissions policies are unconstitutional. The group includes over a dozen students who claim they were rejected from Harvard because the it engages in "racial balancing" by capping the number of Asian-Americans it admits each year.


Since this is fake news, what do you guys think about Trump supporting discrimination against Asian Americans trying to get into Harvard?

I kind of feel for Asian Americans, they're the voiceless minority you never hear about that toils away. They perform in spite of racism and bias. They're sort of victim of their insane work ethics of working towards something no matter how many hours need to be put through. Now they're in the "privileged" social class, it only took them one or two generation(s) for a lot of them.

I guess one could consider being harassed and fear being disown by your parents if you get anything under 95% a privilege when it comes to education, not all family units put so much pressure to succeed academically :rofl:


In other news, don't try to bully people into giving contributions in Korea. Rather don't fail at silencing them, it'll end badly. Even a President is not immune.

An interesting lesson learned from sociology is that when you create laws that help people it harms them in the long run almost and when you make laws to harm people it almost benefits them.

People believe that the American welfare would help individuals rise above poverty through government assistance when it actually cultivates dependence. WEB DuBois said this to all the whites in America when they were creating the welfare system because he said they were creating a permanent Urban underclass to be exploited by capitalism. That has happened. He had his citizenship revoked when he was in Africa then... Now buildings all across the United States are named after him...because time proved him right.

Meanwhile the whites in America were threatened by the number of Chinese coming and their willingness to work so they passed laws, after they were done using them to build railroads, stating that Chinese Americans would only be able to Own businesses that were laundromats and restaurants. They dominated those entire Industries to a large degree... Chinese carryout are the most numerous fast food restaurants in America. This has allowed them to earn money invest in property and accumulate wealth.

Blacks have been unable to invest in property and accumulate wealth because White America has had laws to prevent that from happening such as policies of redlining, segregation of blacks, and selective loan distributions.

It is an interesting history here.

Redlining and segregation didn't happen?

Or Wick Yo v. Hopkins? Chinese Exclusion Act? Alien land law?

You guys are all about your revisionist history.

How does that have anything to do with WEB Dubois’ observation?

You are revising history here
