Justice Dept. to Take On Affirmative Action in College Admissions

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.

The document, an internal announcement to the civil rights division, seeks current lawyers interested in working for a new project on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.”

I guess it evens out. I know two black MDs, both horrible doctors. One is a partner at a thriving practice and the partners are desperate to get him out because of the lawsuits.

Both docs made it into the profession purely because they're black. I won't see a black doctor for this reason. Our area proliferates with such.

Please have your daughter tell her friend to identify himself as black on his application. If he gets called on it just have him say that he self-identifies as black and that he has been putting on fake tan lotion since the 8th grade and studying Ebonics and that he will sue.

I have been claiming Hispanic that I Hispanic for purposes of employment and contracts for a few years now and that will be my defense. Only a fool plays by the rules of a game that is rigged against them.

And to all the squishy, hand-wringing Freepers who might object I have to ask, would you say that it was immoral for a Jew to claim that they were pureblood German to the Nazi Gestapo? If your answer is yes then you are retarded as well as useless.

Can you elaborate? Just curious as this is a statement I’ve never heard before.

“I still see programs which virtually mandate quota set aside for women in certain majors...”

I agree.

Equally as bad as the racist quotas is the modern god-awful push to get women into STEM-related education/careers.

Good grief, there is absolutely nothing in the way of discrimination happening to prevent women from choosing hard sciences if they wish to - quit pushing them already.

The worst discrimination is against Asian students.

Actually, because of discrimination there are more women than men in college. It gets worse at the graduate level. My law school has substantially more women than men because of affirmative action discrimination against men.

Oh, this is going to be good. Proggys’ll go spiral-eyed crazy with hate. As if they aren’t already.

Not in any area that relates to any major you’d want to get into.

My 11 lb. daughter was delivered by a wonderful ob/gyn woman from West Indies 26 years ago. She is still practicing, and from what I read, is still very popular :)

Perhaps because she had a Caribbean English accent, no one thought she was an affirmative action student.

What? Trump said Scalia was racist for being against Affirmative Action? He said it’s severe on black people to not have Affirmative Action.

Looks like the Left is in the process of learning a HARD LESSON. They pass “colorblind laws” with a wink and a nod, FULLY EXPECTING that the laws would only be enforced in one direction...in this case for the purpose of taking down white males (and Asians).

Except when one looks at the laws, AS WRITTEN, they are not anti-white, or anti-anything - they demand EQUAL TREATMENT, so purposely holding back whites is simply not legal.

Never a problem in the past though...since because the unwritten rule was to only enforce in one direction. But too bad...Trump doesn’t follow ‘unwritten’ rules.

Although I doubt the Republicans can find anyone who speaks the Asian Language (as they probably see it), this does present a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to make a play for their votes. Offer their kids EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - the same play the Dems made successfully for black votes.

And don’t sell the Asians short, they now have half the population in the US as blacks - in other words, they are a HUGE minority group...but right now they’re owned by the Dems, simply because the idiot Republicans can’t think of a way to reach them.

“We knew a black MD...who’s number one complaint was patients who shied away from his services because they assumed he was just another of the “passed-through-because-black” Affirmative Action doctors.”

Same here. I vowed to never use the services of a black doctor (or Hispanic, for that matter) due to not having a way to determine if they are qualified for that job.

But then an Alt-Right friend (really Alt-Right, as in Alex Jones follower) had some major surgery done and I asked what doctor...wound up being a black dude. He was happy with the surgery, so I went through with it...no regrets! The guy knows what he’s doing...just sad there are millions like me that initially won’t trust him.
