@老客Cliff李忠刚 you didn't understand. The junk science said diversity promote learning in school. But Latino have more students than Asian Americans, why do they still deserve preferable treatment?
"The fact that UT already enrolls a greater num- ber of Hispanic Americans than Asian Americans es- tablishes that the admission program’s true purpose cannot be the achievement of a “critical mass” of Hispanic students. UT’s true goal is racial balanc- ing—that is, making the student body mirror the ra- cial composition of the State of Texas."
"The University’s goal of racial balancing is pa- tently unconstitutional. “We have many times over reaffirmed that ‘[r]acial balance is not to be achieved for its own sake.’”
By the way, Harvard does do a kind of Affirmative Action for kids whose parents are not college graduates. 16% of the students are 1st generation college student in their family, exactly the same percentage as legacy students whose parents are Harvard graduates.
我提醒大家不要忘记,我们大家都是多元化的受益者。美国作为多民族的移民国家,多元化是她最大的特色之一,族裔多元化,文化多元,思想多元,从而形成色彩鲜明充满活力的美国文化。我们不妨自问:今天世界上有哪个国家对移民如此宽待?对少数民族如此宽待?不错,历史上我们少数民族也受到不公正对待,而且我们移民也对美国做出重大贡献,但是今天,如果没有这种多元化、这种拥抱移民的政策in the first place,我们当中的很多人现在会在美国吗?会有为美国作贡献的机会吗?我们认同多元化的目标,绝不是有人说的自卑自贱,而是有胸怀有担当,是自信的表现。
