No matter their ramblings for setting up a system of race discrimination, it’s illegal. The Asians and whites can sue.
“The Asians and whites can sue.”
There is currently a class action suit against Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill. Here is the website of the plaintiffs:

I understand their argument to be thus:
1. Racial discrimination in college admissions is generally illegal.
2. For the purpose of promoting diversity, schools may resort to some race-conscious admission practices, but these practices must survive “strict scrutiny,” that is, the colleges and universities must first attempt to achieve the desired end - diversity - without resort to institutional racism.
3. Colleges and universities have used this exception as a shield to engage in anti-Asian racism.
4. The plaintiffs assert, and claim to be able to prove in court, that diversity can be achieved without resort to institutional racism, thus vitiating the justificatiion for the practice by colleges and universities.
It's an interesting case. I'll follow it and will take some modest amusement to watch prestigious schools do their dance around the issues. I've found that the issue of anti-Asian racism at elite schools makes liberals’ heads explode. Good popcorn-eating opportunities will abound.
