You're an interesting person, I'll say that. You first objected to me only referencing Harvard. Now I give you an article written by a USC Professor whose expertise is in this exact field and you relegate it to an "opinion piece" as an implication of bias, or that he's mistaken. That's an interesting contention considering that in that same article he lists schools where it's not the case, where blacks have slightly lower graduation rates. This reminds me of the "do your own research" mafia.
If I'm not mistaken the initial contention I argued iwas your assertion that Affirmitive Action admits these poor unfortunate black students who just cannot handle the experience of being in an elite institution. So let's steelman your position and say even if it's considered that a single graduating class of data (2015-2021 cohort) shows less than 1% differential in the rate of graduation among races, it still demonstrates that that entire contention is bullsh*t. Affirmitive Action
NEVER allowed for unqualified students to attend the school, which was your original point. And it's a point that only the kinds of people who look at black people and say "oh you probably got there because of affirmative action" make.
This is the guy who engineered this whole case:
In that video he is expressly saying that they needed Asian plaintiffs to make AA look like it was discriminating against Asians lol. And here's some thoughts about that effort from some relevant people:
"Asians were standing in as proxies for white students," says Jeff Chang, a
writer and activist who has long fought for affirmative action. "That's essentially the strategy that Ed Blum used."
"Is anti-Asian racism real? Yeah, absolutely," says OiYan Poon, a professor at Colorado State University who studies race-based admissions. "I have experienced it firsthand."
But according to her research, affirmative action is not the source of that racism.
"I've been pouring over the data for years," she says — including the admissions data of Harvard before the court in one of the case that just ended affirmative action. "There is no evidence that there's a practice of anti-Asian discrimination."
So like I originally said, your entire position is nonsense, and you hid behind some faux care for a non-existent problem to bolster a decision that was reached at the consideration of another non-existent problem.
