“Professor Natasha Warikoo claims that white students “reluctantly agree with affirmative action as long as it benefits them” “
Additionally, when did affirmative action ever benefit white students?
What about equality of capability?

Too stupid to be useful
Humans always act from self interest
The amount of harm these programs have inflicted on minorities is terrible. Why admit someone to a university who cannot compete with their peers in any major with prospect of gainful employment in the future; and make it much worse by shepherding them into utterly useless majors?
For example, a black student who could excel at many state universities in a high grade major that will almost assure them a good paying job in the future. Instead he goes to a diploma mill like Harvard college (different from Harvard Law and MIT across the river), and gets a degree in racial/ethnic and gender studies, which is worthless and will not get him any job.
This is an example of the “REAL RACISM” of liberals. To deny students the chance for equal opportunity, by denying them an education. Much like their empty promises that women will lead better lives if they murder their babies, which so far has killed some 15.5 MILLION black babies alone, yet has not raised their living standard above poverty.
Face it, Democrats are just as evil today as when they backed slavery.
She's displeased that students she interviewed are motivated by "self-interest" instead of social justice
Why is Professor Natasha Warikoo such a racist?
What happened to "judge not by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character?"
Is Professor Natasha Warikoo a communist?
Our country has been dumbed down. Lifespans are getting shorter instead of longer. What has happened to the lives of the best and brightest who have been pushed aside? The health and safety of our nation has been compromised by professors like Natasha Warikoo. Was she given a place in front of the line, also?
Her middle name is Kumar, so I’m betting she’s some sort of Indian transplant!
Definitely not a Darwinite.
Affirmative Action - Created by white people to punish white people (except for their own family members) in a effort to get black votes.
Is there a cure for this kind of lobotomized “thinking”?
Those who are more talented go to college. They meet talented people of the opposite sex, marry them and produce more talented people. Thank God for that. If it weren't for the talented people, we'd still be living in caves and wearing bear skins to keep warm.
Yes, God loves the untalented, and Christ died for the untalented, just as much as for the talented. Nevertheless, the untalented should be glad for the existence of the talented, even if it means that the talented do better in life than the untalented. Without the talented, the untalented would be even worse off than they are now.
SO...in the view of this libturd ‘professor’, raising the intellectual water level in the ocean of academia breeds inequality?
I suppose that’s true...IF your focus is on equality of outcome in all things.
Prof needs to get out of the classroom, forever.
Last I checked, this is 2018. So it took her SEVEN years to write that stupid paper? (After spending THREE years doing a couple of interviews.) Harvard isn't getting its money worth from this lazy slacker!
Turning down immigrants who can contribute to society while letting in those who will live off the welfare system and not work is going to cause inequality?
Equality is for France. America is about freedom. You are free to work hard and succeed or goof off lazily and fail. If you choose to be a lazy goof off, you don’t get to have an outcome equal to those who work hard. Now, if you are just dumb with a low IQ but you work your butt off, all I can say is “life is unfair”. You still don’t get to have an outcome equal to the hard worker with the high IQ. Go find something else to do where hard work is rewarded without using tremendous brain power.
Life is unfair. Deal with it. We shouldn’t make it more unfair by favoring one group over another.
Society itself is harmed when you graduate underperformers and label them as top performers. Then they are put in professional positions where they fail their customers, clients, patients and themselves. It a horrible travesty.
How can this white woman therefore suggest it right that she is taking a lofty Ivy League perch from some surely more appropriate and “deserving” academic who is an actual underrepresented racial minority?
Merit based admissions make professors job harder!
ALL Supreme Court Justices are from Harvard/Yale.
Time to BAN Harvard/Yale Justices to increase diversity.
Another leftist c*** spews her Marxist BS. at some point we will need to physically fight these subversives, or else lose our country to them - if such is not already the case.
Merit-based admissions PRODUCE quality or at least a likelihood of quality. How do we improve the quality of the inputs? In a quality manufacturing process, we don’t simply fix deficient inputs. We change the processes by which the inputs are created so that they are of good quality. We must make some very hard choices in improving elementary and secondary education.
