This lawsuit is about race-based affirmative action as used in admission to top schools. You appear unfamiliar with the territory of admission to highly-selective colleges and universities.
” If it is hearts and minds you are looking for you are in...”
I'm not looking for anything. It's not my lawsuit. I'm not a plaintiff, nor a member of the plaintiff class. I don't share ethnicity with the plaintiffs, and besides, based on where my kids were admitted, they could claim no injury.
The plaintiffs may be looking for “minds and hearts,” I don't know. I haven't asked them. I think what they're really looking for is for this to go to the Supreme Court, where there are only nine minds and hearts that they will need to win over. The ultimate goal is to ban race-based affirmative action in college admissions.
But I think that ordinary Americans who are not racist will listen to the argument the plaintiffs make, and will probably see merit in it: Americans, no matter their ethnic background, should compete on a level playing field. Race should not be a factor in admissions decisions. Are you opposed to that idea?
“To wit, I just filled out college forms (though certainly not for Harvard) and they made ZERO distinction between a citizen and someone from another country with any sort of legal standing.”
This past spring (2014), I finished several years of college search and application with my two sons, who each applied to a range of highly-selective schools, and I know that anyone who applies to highly-selective schools knows the score: Americans of Asian heritage have a higher hurdle to leap to be admitted to top universities and colleges. We would go on tours of top colleges and programs, and invariably, the Asian-American kids with us on tour would have a whole set of jokes about what it was like to apply as an Asian-American.
As for mixing international admissions with domestic, anyone who has applied to highly-selective schools also knows that domestic admissions are separate from international admissions, and that international admissions are restricted, and thus, much more difficult to obtain than domestic admission.
By the way, you still haven't explained how admission of Asian-Americans is tied to deporting illegal immigrants from Latin America. Or do they all look the same to you?

That’s a “highly selective” collage y’all are applying to, eh? Well good luck to you!
