The left does not get penalized for their racism or any other of their many inconsistencies and double standards. We can all hope ....

Being a private institution means nothing now. The all powerful FedGov will tell you what you can do. And conservatives will applaud.

Are you saying private institutions can racially discriminate against any race they like?
Would you be saying the same thing if Harvard were consistently discriminating against blacks?

What more do you people want? What will satisfy you? When you get to see crackers force marched into internment camps?

But who will pay for affirmative action and black history month?

How come white students don’t matter even though they’re just as discriminated against? Nobody even mentions them.

Affirmative action is illegal and unconstitutional. Laws that “allow” it are invalid and not binding.

All of the universities and colleges still employ a quota system that discriminates against whites.

Nobody mentions that tittle bit of fully accepted PC discrimination.

This outcome based “diversity” has been going on a very long time everywhere. It has killed fairness and equity in our country. Outcome based diversity WAS REPARATIONS. It was and is wrong and has made prejudice against certain groups acceptable and laudable. It MUST stop.

Judging by the quality of the recent graduates from Haaavaahd, it has ceased to be an institution of higher education.

Harvard is picking one minority. Hispanic citizens over another minority, Asian citizens based strictly on the color of their skin and race. What about this is not unconstitutional and violative of the 14th amendment, no matter how allegedly well intentioned their racial discrimination is?

Harvard has been meticulously crafting the racial makeup of their classes, making sure that a certain number of Black and Hispanic students are always represented, while simultaneously ensuring that Asians are not overrepresented.

Poor choice of words. It should not be "overrepresented". It should be "fairly represented".

It is unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment.

The Left cannot maintain its identity political power if the laws are required to be colorblind.

The left must be able to reward its disparate collection of identity groups with special rewards and privileges in order to hold its coalition together.

I justifies this with the theory, held as absolute fact, that all racial identity groups have exactly the same talents and weaknesses as all others.

This is fundamentally false.

My 1480 SAT was too white for them

"The Trump administration attacks Harvard for admitting too many Blacks.

While claiming to help historically Black Colleges, the Trump administration is in fact trying to make it more difficult for African Americans to enter Harvard."

This is how the MSM will spin this story.

Yes & yes. And, when the public consumer base either bolsters their position, or causes them to fold, the Free Market will have done its job.

Course, not even many “(C)” these days would think the Fed. intrusion & trampling of Rights via ‘Civil Rights Act’ are a *bad* thing...When even the old (& correct) signage: “We have the Right to deny service for any reason” is poo-poo’d.

I beg to disagree.
What Harvard is doing is illegal. The free market way is to admit students by merit and let the chips fall where they may. If the Asians end up making accounting for 50% of all admissions based on merit, so be it.
The left can hardly complain given that they are the ones that are forcing bakers and flower shops etc to cater to gay marriage couples etc.
