I thought “Female” was a big name because they screwed up filling out the birth certificate.

One hopes that affirmative action is on its last legs, but several times now justices we thought were opposed to AA changed their views at the last minute when the question was directly presented and they were the swing vote. The cries of “Racist! Your legacy will be nothing if you do this!” from the Left have worked several times. Unless Trump is able to get one more justice on there to act as a buffer, I’m not convinced that they won’t work again.

The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education reported in 1998 that white students from households with incomes of $10,000 or less score better on the SAT than black students from households with incomes of $80,000 to $100,000.
Thanks reaganaut1.

The new system knocks out hard working two parent Asian families and Jewish families that don’t have grandparents, parents etc to give them ‘legacy’ standing.

Also knocks out lots of middle class white kids with two parents both working to help their kids get a good start.

I won’t go into who benefits too much but at the top of that list are white progressive children of ‘elites’....

The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education reported in 1998 that white students from households with incomes of $10,000 or less score better on the SAT than black students from households with incomes of $80,000 to $100,000. In 2015, students with family incomes of $20,000 or less (a category that includes all racial groups) scored higher on average on the math SAT than the average math score of black students from all income levels.

Un-f***ing-believable!

And: "Adversity Score" = "extra points for being stupid."

Adversity scores alone won’t fix the problem. They ALSO need Privilege deductions where whites and asians have points removed from their scores based on high family income, having 2 parents, being born IN wedlock, living in low crime areas, NOT having a police record, having a tutor, taking SAT prep classes, etc.
