Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What exactly is the plan for righting historical injustices? Well I guess we elected Obama.
Crackers whining about the 100m race being unfair when they get to start at 90 and black people aren’t even on the track
Its asian people too, im disgusted by the rich chinese i know celebrating this. God forbid your kid goes to a non elite school scumbags
Some are undoubtedly wrong on this but Asian Americans face discrimination of their own
I dont give a fuck about you if youre rich regardless of race.
I don't understand why they don't switch to zip code instead? Would basically be admissions gerrymandering at that point and we all know how that's allowed lol
As I understand it, the University of California system (where AA was abolished via a statewide vote in 2020) has basically switched to using economic background.
and its been awful https://edsource.org/2020/dropping-affirmative-action-had-huge-impact-on-californias-public-universities/642437 especially for latinos
Yeah. The main issue being that poverty and race, while correlated, aren't perfect reflections of each other.
Add on top of that the UC system's funding woes and increased focus on out-of-state (and international) students to fill funding gaps and there you go.
