@赵宇空 race based consideration during admission 迟早会被terminated. 高院上次也放了时限来review. 迟迟不放开，就是因为怕影响diversity. Earlier diversity is assured，earlier the race based consideration will be banned.
@晚春 You have asked a good question! I did a simple google search and found this research paper: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.459.3287&rep=rep1&type=pdf Abstract The social science statement in Brown v. Board of Education stressed that desegregation would benefit both African American and White children. Eventually, it was recognized that integration, rather than mere desegregation, was important for benefits to be realized. A parallel argument is made in the legal cases concerning affirmative action in higher education: educational benefits of diversity depend on curricular and co-curricular experience with diverse peers, not merely on their co-existence in the same institution (Gurin, 1999, Gurin, Dey, Hurtado, & Gurin, 2002). Positive benefits of diversity were demonstrated in a study comparing students in a curricular diversity program with students in a matched control group (n=174), and in a longitudinal survey of University of Michigan students (n=1670).
One more interesting thing is that, when Fisher applied for UT, there were more Latino students than Asian Americans. Yet they give preferable treatment to Latinos, and discriminate against Asians. This seems to suggest only Latinos contribute to diversify, but not Asian Americans. Which is an insult to Asian Americans.
@谈云识天气 you have to explain why Latino still got preferable treatment when they had more students in UT than Asians, using your diversity benefit junk science
@社会主义好？ You are so blinded that you cannot even tell who's racist, who's not. You don't see 赵宇空、or the press conference that this group all supported are 打族裔牌。Heck, the very premise of this group is 族裔利益。
@社会主义好？ yeah, bury your head. Do you know who invented the term "silent majority"? Nixon. Do you know whom he was referring to? There were very loud protests against the Vietnam War, loud enough to force Lyndon Johnson to abandon the run for the 2nd term. Did you know that, throughout all this drama, the majority of the American voters supported the war in opinion polls?! The most vocal does not always represent the majority.
@Henry Yang “Yet some of our folks here still buy into this ridiculous "diversity" theory ... ”现在，极左派借着diversity, 使劲promote racial preferance. 不知这是不是你说的ridiculous "diversity" theory。这我同意。 现在福利养懒汉的做法是在害人不是帮人。但我们不能走到另一个极端，diversity 本身是美国的demographics. Like it or not, we all live here; it is OUR country for all. We need to embrace the diversity, and help every group to thrive. Abandoning any racial group, just let it be, will create more and more social problem， on which we all will suffer the consequence.
