Its amazing to me that you can write such a racist, bigoted piece...and a major outlet like @NewYorker will run it...and liberals and progressives will not even be mad, but will APPLAUD IT. This is where we are in modern America.

"The cases address Asian Americans’ uncertain place in American society, and the Court is considering them in a period of increased anti-Asian violence.'

WHAT THE F$#*&$.

I know my place in American society. I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, LADY.

"Several Justices on the Court, which also obviously lacks Asians..."

Trump was very close to nominating Amul Thapar to Court...but several Democrats raised objections. Much like Miguel Estrada, it was mostly because they didn't want a CONSERVATIVE minority judge on the court.

"The strongest aspect of the discrimination claim against Harvard involves something called the personal rating."

This is same form of bigotry and racism Harvard used FOR ALMOST A CENTURY to keep Jews out.

Because, as progressives said then, 'There were too many of them."

Wut?

"If the Court prohibits the use of race, so that race-neutral methods become the only permissible means to achieve diversity, schools will likely play with formulas to produce a diverse class in which Asian admissions don’t get unacceptably out of proportion."

So, the author is saying that if the Court says race neutral methods must be used, Liberals will STILL USED RACIST METHODS NO MATTER WHAT?

That is literally her argument here.

NAME ME WHICH FACTOR THIS IS:

"They may reduce reliance on race-neutral factors in which Asians have done well, such as standardized tests, and increase reliance on race-neutral factors in which Asians have not done as well."

"The personal rating and similar mushy factors could become far more determinative, because they are places where admissions officers will continue to have great discretion...as they are not consciously using race."

Not if they aren't bigots.

Is it?

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor made the point most plainly, saying that relying on race-neutral alternatives, including socioeconomic status, are really “all subterfuges to reaching some sort of diversity in race.”"

In short, liberals want to use race, and quotas. They were stopped from using the latter in Bakke, and now, GOD FORBID they are stopped from using race based decisions now.

The long and short of it is that THEIR ENTIRE WORLD VIEW IS RACIST.

Everything in this piece comes down to "How do we use the color of their skin to determine admission, without letting people know we are using the color of their skin???"

Literally. Read the piece. That is the beginning and end of her logic.

And yes, that is bigoted.

I would LOVE to hear what these people define as 'racism'

Or hell, 'structural racism'.

The fact is Harvard et al are literally arguing for STRUCTURAL RACISM AGAINST ASIANS, to help structural racism against others. That is literally the argument. So when they say that, make sure to point out that still means they are racist.

“For example, schools may encourage applicants to write of their cultural traditions in the essays they submit..."

Don't forget Justice KBJ literally told Asians to HIDE THEIR CULTURE TO HELP ADMISSION RATES.

"As Justice David Souter, for whom I clerked, said in his own dissent in Gratz, “Equal protection cannot become an exercise in which the winners are the ones who hide the ball.”

Right. BUT KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TOLD ASIANS TO HIDE THE BALL.

"Asian Americans whose alleged treatment formed the factual bases of these cases could fairly be saddened to see both sides in the Supreme Court push aside the heart of their complaint in favor of further ball-hiding exercises."

The bigotry is so overt it is mindboggling.

THIS.

Progressives used to be embarrassed by their bigotry. Now they flaunt it.
