These schools want kids of a certain color who can simply make it through college. That is the goal.

Ultimately, it is the end of the idea that the “smartest kids” go to these schools. They don’t.

This has been going on for a long time. Thirty and 40 years ago one knew that pigment counted more than anything else.

The fact that it has been unsaid so long is the amazing thing.

Lots of Pali scarfs back then too.

Jews didn’t notice?

Lots of Pali scarfs back then too.

I have no idea what that means.

I am Jewish but at Yale I was just another Yalie.

Not a legacy.

In America and elsewhere I am an AMERICAN.

The smartest, hardest working kids got in in those days.

There were also lots of insane legacies.

My kids are much smarter and work harder than I did.

They absolutely eclipse me in every way.

Not sure if they will or should even apply.

They really are just middle class white kids, like I was, and that is now undesirable.

Oh! Maybe you are saying that I knew even one “Palestinian” as an undergrad. I did not. Or, maybe you are saying that Jews are traditionally beneficiaries of elite admissions (instead of quotas) based on Jewish race? That is a question for you to answer but do check the very unpopular and hard-to-find numbers of IQ or even SAT scores by race, Nobel prizes in sciences by race, etc. Jews aren’t perfect. There are too many commies amongst us. But we’re some smart-ass cats, and we’re on the RIGHT, too, and always have been.
