Imagine explicitly rallying FOR racism...
They are racists aren't they
Unfortunately thats pretty much is but somehow our "brightest" minds in Harvard cant seem to be able to wrap their minds around it
"we have fought infinitely harder to seek higher education" bro... The Asian girl next to you had to score a MINIMUM of 450 points higher than you on the SAT's just to get in...
Don't believe everything you hear
Got em

@@Janet-kt1nhlol its literally a fact
They’re assholes lol
Looks like a bunch of people who wouldn't have gotten into Havard without it 😂😂😂
Thats so racist. Even once your in, you have to have the mental ability to remain. Have you ever met a Harvard graduate in your life?
@@redblue2644that’s not true at all lol. The prestige of Harvard has been severely diminished. You can find some of the dumbest people on earth there. Saying you’re a Harvard grad doesn’t mean much anymore
@redblue2644 lol, you're the racist that thinks black people are too dumb and need special criteria to get in. I'm just telling the truth
@@redblue2644 I'm not entirely sure I would want to, and I definitely know that they wouldn't want to meet me. Also that's a big part about why AA is harmful to black students. You really have 3 options.
1: Expel the underperforming people who you accepted to the college despite knowing they are underperformers, leaving them with a hefty bill.
2: Don't expel them, but don't necessarily give them a diploma at the end either which leaves them with an even heftier bill.
3: Just fake their grades and graduate them anyway, in which case we've reduced the prestige of a Harvard degree to a tool that tricks people into thinking you are actually competent enough to have it.
All 3 of these things happen currently, with the majority of them being the 2nd and 3rd because actually expelling people for not meeting the objective standards would be racist or something.
@redblue2644 yes I have met them. They are dumb af. It was really annoying .
I'd be embarrassed advocating for a policy that made me look stupid.

@@oldmanbiscuit7518 Explain Asians still getting denied despite outscoring Whites. And explain legacies (who happen to be overwhelming Caucasian) not desiring acceptance based on their skin color.
This is what racism looks like
It's like less than 70 years ago we got rid of segregation. There are smart people from all races but Harvard was an overwhelming majority white. Feels like some sort of connection.
@@bobfrank7339White people and Asian are more likely to be richer than Blacks, Hispanic, and Native American too. Why not make a quota based on economic disadvantage instead of race?

How is it not racist running under the assumption someone automatically needs help based on their race and not doing as well as anyone else
No idea. These people are the ones saying Trump is racist but dems literally run on saying black people are to stupid to use computers, get an ID, understand math, etc. Wild....
Because racism as an institution is used to describe the disadvantages ascribed by the cultural signifiers that certain ethnic groups share.
You cannot undo those disadvantages while simultaneously pretending they don't exist, so the only correct decision is to make adjustments along those factors in the opposite direction to the systems of oppression that already exist.
@@zacharybosley1935.... To the point of denying other minorities whom have met or even surpassed the qualifications of merit on the basis of race. Yea, that's racism.
@@zacharybosley1935 of course these disadvantages don't exist systematically. Especially with all these anti-discrimination laws, committees, and associations.
Of course. Discrimination does happen to some individuals. Do not deny that.
But not everyone belonging to a single group labeled as */"marginalized" is affected by a perceived a disadvantage. So it's not systematic.
@@zacharybosley1935 lowering standards does not help combat racism systematically, pretending the latter does assist for argument's sake.
Lowering standards hurts us all.
"I'm the first of my family to go to Harvard in thousands and thousands of years."...LOL Genius... Proof that Affirmative Action doesn't work for society.
Abolish Legacy Admissions because it's based on financial status and nepotism. THAT'S ALSO DISCRIMINATION!
Harvard didn't exist thousands of years ago idiot!

A decade from now it will be safe to trust a young black doctor, lawyer, dentist or engineer because they made it on merit.
The older graduates will always be suspect, unfortunately.
Why is it not safe now? I'd trust a young black doctor.

@#
😂
It’s embarrassing to see what this college has become. Yikes
This isn't new. Harvard has been working on destroying humanity for decades.
Show me what racism looks like "affirmative action" this is what institutionalized racism looks like.
Racism is when the average employer is less likely to call back someone with an ethnic-sounding name.
Racism is when the courts give you a disproportionately intense sentence for minor crimes just because you're in a low-income area your family could never afford to escape.
Racism is when politicians increase police activity in a disproportionately black neighborhood with little more justification than myths of "superpredators."
It's the murder of Fred Hampton by the CIA, under government orders to prevent the rise of "another black messiah"
If you don't know what Racism looks like in the U.S., you're not looking closely enough.
Explain how it is racist?
@@hm3drake35you realize Asians and blacks are both minorities, yet one is discriminated against and must get much higher scores than the other to be allowed into the school. How is that not racism?
Lmao look at the people who were already accepted protesting. Lets ask those who got denied what they think shall we?
So they're admitting they don't want to have to work hard to achieve anything and also never get anything because they were actually good enough
Dude, they're in Harvard. They all worked hard to be there. Just because there were protections in place to tone down a little on the racism doesn't invalidate their accomplishments. Stop being a chump online about them standing up for themselves.
@@WardenLovelessyour brain is underdeveloped 😂😂.
@@WardenLovelessLibProg entitled brat says what?
Harvard has been unleashing immoral enemies of humanity into the world for decades.
@@WardenLoveless Lowering SAT requirements for certain skin colors and raising it for others is toning down their racism?
These kids go to one of the top rated schools and don't understand diversity in the workplace means diversity of thought, not skin color.
"Diversity of thought" is a nice dog whistle
Blows my mind….. all they have to do is make better grades than the person next to him. An Asian person has to score 207 points more than a black person to be considered over him. This left is literally crazy bro
Edit. I am wrong it’s 427 not 207….

Support Supreme Court decision.
College admissions not entitlement for one group.
You show minimal understanding of a complex issue.
It’s not entitlement for one group. They just removing the race part. But they will still be using affirmative action for other situations. And also, what percentage of black applicants get into Ivy League vs non black applicants. Another thing, how many accepted students is due to affirmative action based on race? I guarantee it’s not even that big. The Schools will never go to a score only acceptance model, because the government will shit their pants once they see whites losing seats to more and more Asians and Indians. Then they’ll cry about better representation and start this cycle all over again.

Ah affirmation action, - the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Rallying after? I was always told how smart people go to Harvard. Maybe that will actually be the truth now, moving forward.
Rallying before a decision doesn’t make sense either, unless their goal is the monumental task of amending the Constitution. The courts aren’t meant to be democratic institutions
The LEFT has trashed the Democratic Party of JFK and give e"m hell Truman. Good reason why they didn't have a platform in the 1960's. I say Trump take RFK Jr. as Vice and pick up 10% of the Conservative Dem. vote. This will insure the Left's defeat and there bias media supporting the movement. The Left is ripping France apart. Ironic, that leftism started the French Revolution 1798. Same old same old. Violent, mobs. By the way CBS, NBC make sure you support Abortion an hour after birth. Get the Leftist Dems. a few votes for 2024.
Trump supporters protested the election on Jan 6th AFTER the election, hoping to reverse it.
obviously it didn't work.
@@-dashthis rally/ protest is just a waste of time, it’s over the decision has been made, these cry babies need to get over it.
You mean I actually have to be smart now 😜
Why does it seem the biggest fools,
Wear sweaters from prestigious schools?
And now Havard will have to let in students smarter than their professors. This should be fun.
Yeah I had some very poor teachers in college. Lots a international student teachers who could barely speak English. It made me angry and felt like I was wasting money. ….turns out I did waste my money

THOSE PATHETICLY

AWAY FROM THE
ASYLUM !
ENJOY !
In law school too: a prof in Tennessee was so bad NO students would take her classes. They let her go, so Arkansas hired her b/c she was black - OMG! I was in her class- every student - even pocs- were up set she was horrid! Btw, I'm Hispanic/ American Indian. While there, the black students were admitted with low LSATS, and were in all black " study groups" where upper class black students "navigated" them through the classes ( gave answers to tests). Those black students went to night school, did not work, lived in beautiful subsidized housing, did not pay for their undergraduate or law school education so used their loans to buy cars, clothes. The white students worked all day, went to school nights, and had to pay back all their loans. So glad SCOTUS finally got it right!
Hilariously true
None of them eat or wipe unless someone else pays for it!!! They don't have a clue!!!
The funniest thing is AA affects Asian students’ admissions more than anyone. All they do is everything they’re supposed to - work hard, get good grades, stay out of trouble - and yet their criteria for making it in is WAY higher than any other group’s criteria because if admissions was SOLELY based on merit (the way it should be) the student body would be 80% Asian.
That a lot of ignorant college students!!!!!
And that's what student loans are paying for😕... 😫 the US is screwed!
Im young and I can certainly say this generation is doomed. Don’t even bother helping us because some of these people are too far gone.
You will be running things soon enough. Please get it together!
@@Jleed989 I will be running things for my family and away from the Gov. I’ve started being super independent from the government because i don’t want to be associated with all the sheep nowadays. If there is anything i hate in life is the dependency of people for a manipulative leader. I’ve got my stuff together but i’m an exception compared to these clowns nowadays. Even people older than me do not want to be independent from the government and that’s the problem. We need to have moral compass that establishes a functional and fully operational mindset that helps people for the greater good. But the main problem nowadays is the government.
That's nice that these Harvard students, especially the Asian ones, could do this AFTER knowing they've already been accepted to Harvard. Try asking some high school students, before beginning the process, what they think.
Are you kidding all the underperfomring black students helps pad their scores during exams. Almost every exam is scored on a curve and having a decent chunk of your students not having the skills to succeed is great from them. Less competetion for internships as well.
@@rickywbea Those Asians are not competing with Black students for those seats. They are competing with other Asian students, because the number of seats for Asian students is limited and even Asian applicant number 'limit + 1' is an otherwise qualified student. Before they know they've made the cutoff and after they know they've made the cutoff are entirely different states of mind.
@@rickywbeayou’re clueless buddy
Plenty of schools have started faking grades for students too dumb or unmotivated to pass on their own merit. Our issue is even bigger than the students failing, our entire education department is failing.
“If the criteria were merit based alone, the entire student body at Harvard would be Jewish and Asian.” - Douglas Murray
I’m AngloEuropean and I’m fine with that.
Jewish? Not so much these past years.Jewish kids are failing more and more in recent years.
That is one way for Harvard to maintain the high standards it boasts of…
White. Unless you can define yourself accurately. You degrade yourself.
I am more worried about the curriculum being taught at Harvard since the ruling class for the past 40 years has come from places like Harvard. They seem to be authoritarian. I am happy with this decision but perhaps it would be best if our rulers were incompetent so that they would be less effective.

Parrots!
lady said thousands and thousands of years. if we lucky colleges been around for 500 or so years in the US. gtfo. get in on your merits, your hard work, your grades. im a white dude who would have never made it to harvard and im ok with that. still plenty of money to be made in this world. but race has nothing to do with anything in a real free society. affirmative action in these times only hurts us.
500 years in the US? We weren't even a country until the late 1700s
Privilege is the list of obstacles you can cheerfully say you've never experienced.
White people, traditionally, have the privilege of not having to think about the myriad obstacles placed upon them on the merit of being white.
They don't have to worry about the odds of their convictions and sentences being higher for the smallest crime.
They don't have to worry about the odds of their job application being turned down because their name is too "ethnic"
They don't have to think about how much of their community is going to have to survive the legacy of only getting basic civil rights within the last century, within a couple of generations actually.
It's a little reckless to say their life is devoid of struggle, but it's far more reckless to say that black people don't have to bear the weight of every sling and arrow of outrageous fortune thrust upon them ever since they were dragged onto U.S. Soil.
@@zacharybosley1935 I live in a community with a high Hispanic population. I often wonder if I have been turned down by my white sounding name, especially if the majority of the employees are non-white.
@@joshmoonXY by all means, wonder away, but the studies haven't shown white-sounding names losing job opportunities.
@@zacharybosley1935it’s truly a shame that the blacks in Africa would round up other blacks and sell them off for as little as an ash tray to the slave traders that never stepped foot on African soil to acquire said slaves. How quickly they would round them up and sell out their own kind. Ironic how black privilege is just fine over the Asian students that had better grades and scores to get into that school but were denied so that black privilege could be implemented for a inferior student. The 14th amendment is a hell of a thing. Blame the white man for all your failures but forgot how the black race would sell their own out for an ash tray. How over 20% of slaves were owned by other blacks. Btw, your white privilege card is pathetic and also racist.
Show me what maturity looks like...😅
That is harvards way of saying we hate that the Supreme Court ruled against discrimination.
I think Harvard thinks it is above the Constitution being Harvard. SCOTUS is telling Harvard you are not above the law, so take your medicine.

My cousin's son is a student at Carnegie University. He said many of his classmates failed the exams because they did not get into university on the basis of their grades. Some of them can't understand the mathematics course content. He is of Chinese descent. If he gets an A, but his classmate can only get an F, so he hasn't graduated yet, Google invites him.And his female classmate couldn't graduate
He only knows them based on their carefully crafted past image. In truth universities have been nothing more than indoctrination camps and adult daycare for going on decades now. They weren't at one time though.

Lmao diversity is not a strength you know what is merit
Using elite university admissions to address historic and systematic racisim seems illogical. Addressing racial academic disparities in the final 25% of students’ academic journeys is nonsensical and unfair. Disparities need to be addressed at preschool, kindergarten, primary school. That’s a tougher discussion about effective education spending teacher’s unions, charter schools, waste, fraud, admin costs etc.
And don't forget not only does it need to be taught sooner in our educational systems. True change starts at home... and with the parents' self education and proactive resistance to the old way of thinking and mindfulness of diversity....
I was thinking the same thing you wrote and had to comment. Irdk how effective this protest would be against THIS TYPE of problem.
Which nobody has any interest in lol
N what even more bullshit is them needing assistance so they go to prestine institutions. Look who protesters are. Harvard student I went to school graduated and of Hispanic heritage but never once was offered Harvard ole miss university of texas Austin.
@9dkelly Right. It's lazier just to FORCE inclusion than to change humanity. I understand why it's the LAST thing anyone wants to do.... to help people confront their deeply held biases. Change IS hard.
Hopefully, the students will figure this out sooner rather than later and focus their efforts on the right problem and resolution. TBH has more to do with people outside of them than inside of their group. But I applaud their efforts, though. They get an A for effort. 👍 👌
What disparities? Minorities & under privledged get free day care preschool k-12 & college. Try & get them to send their kids, make sure they attend, get good grades, & behave accordingly. Thats a culture prob. Not racism. Asian, E Indian, African immigrant ppl don't have any of those probs.
Isn't the black kid smart enough to make a speech in public without having to read it off his phone? Does he actually believe what he's saying and speaking from the heart or just parroting something already written down for him?
You and I know the answer to that
That’s generally how public speeches work; it seems you’ve never prepared, written, or delivered one.
It is unbelievable that kids these days give protest speeches while reading verbatim. Don’t they know that it makes them look like they are not speaking from the heart. What’s also sad is these students are from top colleges and look like they struggle with reading- but look at our own White House Press Secretary.

Those kids at the rally got in thru affirmative action.
This is what you get when schools don't teach CIVICS.
Sadly, they do teach civics, it is everywhere, just the content is the exact opposite of what you imagine civics should be. These kids are just parroting what they were trained to parrot by teachers (and some others).

Looks like some really juvenile kids
I don’t think these students know what and why they are protesting
Show me what communism looks like 😮
Now all students will be accepted to college. On their own character and achievements. Not by the color of their skin.. finally ending this racisim.
Sorry people, your admittance into a college should not be based on your skin color. If you're not educated enough and can't cut the mustard why go to college and be cut out or dropout? Anyone going to a college should be admitted due to their own merits. Not skin color. Doesn't matter whether you're black, white, brown, Asian or Latino you don't belong in a college if you don't have the aptitude.
One thing I've learned is society is stupid af
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Funny how they never mention diversity and qualification at the same time. Not one of them would fly in a plane whose pilot had zero experience but was hired as a token "Person without Experience."

If you have to force a school to affirm you into that school based on your race or skin color, then YOU are discriminating yourself and admitting that you wouldn't even be qualified by academics alone. That is in itself discriminatory against everyone else and an insult to anyone, including other people of similar race and skin color, who worked so hard and proved their academic worthiness.
Comments like these are why we need better education. This is at best an adolescent level of rhetoric.
To think critically about this subject you should be more informed about the origins of power, wealth, and race how they were developed and maintain modern day castes.
In America, schools were highly segregated. The first girl to attend an all-white school had to be escorted. That’s very recent in our history.
Students who benefit from AA do not have it any easier either. They have to be just as qualified. AA takes a statistical lens to mirror the racial make up of the country.
@@jjmelendez2343 If acceptance into a big prestigious school requires high academic scores then why need affirmative action? If it's about wealth, then show proof of how money equals to more intelligence. Last i checked, acquiring money comes from having intelligence and having the urge to venture to more things. Anyone can be given a large sum of money but not every person will know how to turn that into wealth. But let's say you're just given said wealth, is it worth anything anymore? Same applies to affirmative action. If all that's required is your ethnic background and skin color then doesn't that lower the standards for any of these prestigious institutions?
@@jjmelendez2343what a load of garbage. Students that benefit from AA do not have to be as qualified, that’s the whole point.
@@Jkrogs18 In short, yep that's pretty much the point.
Haha, so basically they are saying they got special treatment to get into Harvard based on ethnicity and could not have gotten in based on merit.
