    Affirmative action died when asian Americans were no longer included as a minority. They were one of the most vocal groups when it came to this topic. In the example of service vehicles the guy gave, it would be like if the reserved spot was for all service vehicles except ambulances...ambulances alone cannot park there but all other service vehicles can

      giovan,
      Asians are a Minority . It is not fair that many wealthy Asians come to American Universities to study, and they are included in the National results. It is well known that Asians need to study double time than whites, in order to obtain good grades, but that has nothing to do with Intelligence. Intelligence has a different meaning.

    California Prop 209 replaced affirmative action in 1996. The measure eliminate state and local government affirmative action programs in the areas of public employment, public education, and public contracting to the extent these programs involve "preferential treatment" based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
    I applied for Cal back in 1991 and was denied because the university wanted more black and brown students. A few years later, the university had a class action lawsuit for discrimination. Hence Prop 209.
    Thanks to Prop 209. Students are accepted to the University they applied to based on their achievements and merit. Universities have the highest Asian students enrollment.
    32.2% Asian. 22.5% Hispanic/Latino. 22.2% White. 4.5% African American.
    Affirmative action is an excuse for those who “can’t” and wants rewarded for “preferential treatment” based on their ethnicity and gender.

As in a number of black students could walk to school. We ALL then graduated to the same high school. And, I was raised in the definition of lower income household. We lived in a neighborhood of ALL mobile homes. So, for my specific life situation, I was considered a lower class student. I had to personally pay my own tuition and unfortunately never completed even an Associate of Arts degree. My point is “Why should students of color have gotten a different acceptance standard than me?” And “Why should students of color get greater financial assistance than me?”

    If you live in Compton, school can't even fix broken window.

    Affirmative action lowered the standards for everybody, and now, nobody understands the trick that it is, not even the courts. "It is a policy that claims, by its own premise, that minorities are not as intelligent as white people", (which is racist in itself as a policy), and that is not true. Minorities should be insulted, but nobody sees this correctly. Those ideas come from the likes of margret sanger, hitler and communism as a whole. So this tool was used to lower the standards of everybody, (how is your math?). Neither the color of the skin, or the type of genitals, has anything to do with the thoughts of the mind. Your mind is like your body. The more we exercise it, the better it gets also, (I learned that myself after almost flunking HS and doing much better in college,---much much better). It is an evil trick, based on a false premise, that is designed to lower the thinking of the entire citizenry,---------------------------------------------and it worked!!!!!!!! Doug in Michigan

    Some people seem to have a high opinion of human intelligence by assuming it’s common sense to recruit students based on qualifications and not greed and reputation.
    Common sense has nothing to do with how the world actually works. This is naive. Racism and slavery was common sense not so long ago and look where we are still.
    Please study your history and learn more about how businesses work. Schools, even Ivy League schools, can be considered businesses with how they manage and use resources to build up their reputation.
    Let’s not pretend these schools are truly great at educating but primarily just provide its students connections for guaranteeing high paying and influential jobs due to their reputation alone. That’s really what you pay and commit to get. UA-cam videos of classes from those schools are enough to educated leisurely any decent student and it’s free.
    This is similar to the tech industry with engineers that worked at Google and are often sought out as founders, for example. You can be an amazing Engineer self taught, minority, older and not educated in Silicon Valley and still be discriminated from high caliber opportunities because some of these business investors come from Ivy Leagues schools and think they are entitled to certain people that share their pedigree. It’s non sense not common sense.
    Laws help provide a level of fairness that normally will be disregarded in favor of shortcuts for making a profit and increasing their quotas.try this simple exercise. Next time you see or listen to someone (business, politician, etc) consider where their went to school. If you think they’re intelligent or idiots then wonder if you could do better. Now look up just how much politics and non qualified requirements are really needed to get into these schools. If you or you family wanted to go there, and your not part of the top % you are not getting in. If you are a minority definitely not. Those that did got lucky or likely as part of this affirmative action process.
    Then think about how that makes you and maybe your family feel. I am positive you could do better than most of these entitled morons running our country because they got “lucky” to get into these schools, and I question if they even actually learn even a third of the education taught but focused on parties and other events that encouraged networking because that’s obviously more important than actual education.

    Affirmative action was never a good solution. Fixing public schools is the real challenge and its such complex problem but for sure, it starts in the homes.

    Race-based admissions is unfair and illegal. Asian children get hurt and so do white children. I am white and this is offensive. Legacy admission also seems unjust on the surface. But comparing it to other things DOES seem that it is allowable. FOR EXAMPLE: As a business owner, can I offer a discount to prior customers? Can I bump them to the front of the line for repairs? These things seem perfectly legal, though maybe not always wise in business. Not everyone is treated equally - there is a preference for prior customers. Is education a business?

      Trump's court hasn't reversed this ruling. Trump would have to get elected in 2024 then have a challenge to this ruling come up for the SCOTUS under him to reinstall affirmative action and reverse racial justice.

    Then, Thomas may change his skin if he feels bad about been given the chance to study due to his race. He seems to be very selfish, because he knows that his case of success is not the rule, but the exception.

      * Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I don't know what percentage of students are admitted as legacy students, especially how many are admitted with inferior qualifications. But just about 100% of them can be useful to their classmates.

      @kamman1374 No doubt, but legacy students bring the human connections that really help super high performers to get ahead. If there are not enough of them, the Ivy League school is just a bit less useful to the academic superstars.

    Honestly, I think it is time for it to end -- they need to just admit based on academic qualifications period === skin color should not enter into this.
