Harvard and other top-tier colleges closely guard the inner workings of their admissions offices, but they defend approaches that consider an applicant’s race among other factors as a way to bring a diverse mix of perspectives to campus.
Say what???? A DIVERSE MIX OF PERSPECTIVES????
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
I have several close friends who are “mixed” married couples. One spouse is an American-born white person and the other is of European descent but was born in Latin America. Most of their kids are so fair-skinned that they make Scandinavians look swarthy, but you can be damn sure they’re checking off that “Hispanic” box when it comes time for college admissions and job applications.
And I know a blond boy who always checked African American on everything because he was from South Africa. No one can say he wasn’t African American.
Some of the most incompetent people I’ve ever worked with were minorities from Ivy League schools.
They were peter principled in grade school.
No doubt. Liberals love to waste money. They think it literally grows on trees.
...”Asians lose out. They vote for Democrats. Why should we care?”...
We should care because they are some of the smartest scientific minds on the planet. If we want solutions to horrific, inherited disease, etc., we need the minds which can figure those things out. In addition, eliminating people based on skin color is fascism, communism and tyranny. It is not related to education. The Ivy Leagues have been politicized in their quest for government power for more years than I can remember. They are all about the money which comes into their huge endowment which may come mostly from the top, wealthy 1%, who want to be the puppet masters over this nation in order to guarantee that freedom will not allow others to challenge their power and wealth. They own the Ivy-Leagues and if you want your child to be a normal, thinking, learning individual who cannot be convinced that 2 and 2 are 5, and who will stand up for truth against the tyrannical left, do not send them to an Ivy League, no matter whether or not their skin color would get them in. I hope people will not be duped by the long past excellent reputations of these schools, most of whom were founded out of Christian values. Somewhere along the way, bad people took over and destroyed their mission of education, turning it into a mirage. Their fake façade may be about to fall. The bad news is that too many non Ivy Leagues, especially state run schools, are trying hard to follow the Ivy League model. It cannot last without culture war. I just do not know how much longer that will take. The new discrimination against the brightest and best, based on skin color pollutes our lives and our society more than anything the EPA could ever think up and is sad and very disturbing. This is my opinion based on long years of being close to education.
The Chinese guys at work are all republicans and they tell me their friends and family are also. I was surprised.

A friend that went to a small state school worked with a Princeton grad; when they guy boasted about it, my friend said, “Yet here you are doing the same work as me”...
We should start calling Dems “kapos”
Good one!
I agree with your co-worker. I have always considered myself to be a “native American” because I was born here. AFAIK, I don’t have any American Indian blood.
It's time we had a dialog about why diversity is even a positive thing.
Because we all know it is not.
"Diversity" is merely code for "Too Many White People".
“So, whatever became of him? Probably chasing ambulances in Las Vegas now! ;)”
No, Trump replaced him as President.
