I’d almost say it is worse because it is deeply rooting with deniability. Same result, same disparity, same unfairness, same low expectations.
But it does make the instate status for illegals more infuriating.
Check out this data -
Note that all you need is top 50ile and 1010 on SAT for AUTOMATIC admission. That’s what happened - it isn’t the “top 10%” - they aren’t shaving kids on the bubble, where the real competition is. A White kid - 30%ile in “White” High School - walks into “Minority” school. becomes 20%ile on day one, and only needs 920 SAT.
Same for 50-60%ile dude. Just go to Mexican School - and get into top 50%ile easily. Then - 1010 on SAT - 60 points below white average - and bango - you are in.
This program isn’t interesting to competitive - “college bound” whites. This is attractive to those who would not be college bound - below 50%ile and 1010 SAT - 55-60%ile Whites.
I’m sure large numbers aren’t doing this - but for a segment of “troubled teens” - move to a different school, and get out of trouble.
Want to see what they REALLY expect - Look at home schoolers. If Homeschool - need 1180 SAT. Transfer - 1200 SAT.
1180 for Homeschooler? Is this not religious persecution? That is what you need from 75%ile (top 3/4) of “Minority” High school.
I’m sure they tailored those SAT requirements to get the “diversity” they wanted - while pretending to have “requirements”. 920?
What a joke. I have to stop looking at this car wreck.
