It's common for them to drop out. That's why the entire argument that this was to help "historically oppressed groups" was never true. It actually harms them because they can't do the work and that increases their sense of failure. I guess lowering people's self esteem because they're the correct race is helpful in their minds.

Unfortunately a 4.0 isn't high enough anymore due to advanced courses being offered in high school now. My son graduated with a 4.2 and was 3rd in his class.

@Blackjack701AD OMG! When I found out about the stats for medical schools I came to the same conclusion. It's insanity. I hate thinking like that, but those stats give me no choice.

@fraserfir19 Asians are discriminated the same amount in medical school acceptance as they are at Ivy League schools. Meaning an Asian that makes the cut is the most qualified to be one.

@SonoftheAllfather What was argued has nothing to do with how the decision is applied. It decision, which is the important language in the case, says that affirmative action is against the Equal Opportunity Act and race can not be a deciding factor in college admissions. Environment can, such as poor or growing up in a slum, but not race. Period. That's the court's decision. Edit: Tell me where you got your law degree or at least what law courses you at least took to proclaim yourself more an expert than every other lawyer in the US. That's as stupid an argument as trying to claim the Bruen decision only applies to New York because it was focused on the laws there.

They can only rule on the case before them and the Constitionality of what's presented. This was a case about affirmative action in college admissions. Now a case against it in hiring practices and other institutions should be brought.

This was what my college research paper was about in 92.

Technically it already is. That's why that woman just won against Starbucks.

I'm assuming they're saying that's in the environmental that they allowed to stay in. The problem is if they can prove that race was the deciding factor rather than just circumstances (which typically means growing up in poverty or in abuse), they'll still in violation of the decision.

@potcrak1 It means that race no longer can be a deciding factor in college admissions. It means that once again it will be test scores focused with being poor being considered. Which means poor white kids and Asian kids, which score the highest and have a large number in poverty, can no longer be accepted at a lower rate than black students were regardless of their scores or financial situation. Black students were accepted at a rate of over 50% where as Asian were 13% and white at 15% even though they met more of the requirements. Claiming Asian means Indian means you don't seem to know they are the highest earners in the US. Meaning they won't be accepted anymore than they already were because colleges weight acceptance rates in favor of those in poverty. Just so you're aware, I'm Native and calling me "feathers" is you being racist. We were never accepted in high numbers in Ivy League schools anyway because preference has always been given to black students over us even though we have a higher percentage in poverty. This doesn't affect us at all just like affirmative action never did. Edit: Since no proof is required at these colleges if you're Native or not, many white students would lie in an attempt to gain maybe a tiny bit less discrimination. Obviously it didn't help much.

@youtubesadhominem9118 So you'd rather a person unqualified and not able to do the work, thus dropping out later or failing be accepted because they are of a certain race, is better than someone of another race who's poor (not only black people are poor) that's capable of doing the work get the spot? How progressive of you.

@patwinlawrence6948 Then you're thinking is incorrect. There aren't enough past black students to where 52% of each class would be black applicants and get accepted. Acceptance rates generally don't include those let in as legacy because they typically don't go through the same application process. Letting students in who barely graduated high school or can't pass tests that the other students do doesn't help anyone. It hurts them because they can't do the work, drop out or fail out, which causes lower self esteem. Instead of focusing on acceptance rate as some weird determining factor on if certain group is somehow now better off, look at graduation rates of that group. It's low in Ivy League schools for black students because they're accepted knowing they're incapable of doing the work at the level required just so people like you can go "We're doing something!" when in reality you aren't. These schools are Ivy League not just based on money, but in high standards to get in AND high graduation rates that go along with higher earnings based on the faith employers have on the abilities of their graduates. Because they have higher standards to get in, they are able to employ a higher level of professors who can teach at a higher level of understanding than a state university. It's the equivalent of sending a student that can barely do basic math to MIT and claiming you helped him. People need to stop just looking at these schools as a play ground for the rich because they're not. They earned their reputation and are listed as top universities based on the level of education you receive at them. Edit: Also the number of legacy students allowed in is capped so that they don't take up all the resources. I know because I worked my a$$ of to try to attend one for law school. I had the grades, I had the test scores, I even grew up in poverty. Unfortunately I was the wrong race. Making race a deciding factor is the definition of racism and you cheer it on. By the way, I went from foodstamps and welfare to now the upper middle class. Upward mobility isn't gone. It requires risks just like it always has and too many people are no longer willing to take them. They want opportunity to move in nextdoor instead of seeking it out.

@RCSVirginia It is not. I already corrected them in another thread. They're just copy pasting the same thing under every comment.

@SonoftheAllfather I already corrected you on this. Maybe you should delete these comments you spread all over the comment section. The basis of the case was affirmative action is unconstitutional. That's what the Supreme Court decisions are based on. It's their only job. Every decision is based off of the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't state anywhere "this only applies to a specific race". The wording of the decision is what decides how it's applied and it said nothing about only Asian students. It affects ALL college admissions going forward just like Bruen affected ALL state firearm restrictions and not just New York.

I assume you're referring to the large dropout rate. It's pretty sad.

@GatoradeAppreciator How many times are you going to post that? That comment makes zero sense anyway because you don't know the political leanings of the person you're commenting to. They might not even be in the US. Do you even understand how the internet works?

I don't know because that's medical school and not college. The 90% acceptance rate based on race was what shocked me. Extremely low acceptance rate for Asian and white. Only 1% difference. At least you know an Asian or white doctor are going to be very intelligent.
