Preaching to the choir, I guess, but all the people (Andrew Sullivan, etc.) that are raising a hue and cry about the focus on diversity in the Ivy League seem to be ignoring the fact that white males remain the dominant demographic.

It reminds me of the Obama-coming-for-your-guns nonsense always spewed by someone wearing a gun.

Given that Harvard undergrad is something like 33% legacy admissions, the white male % legacy admission % will be something higher than that.

Getting rid of legacy and faculty’s kids admission might be the only good thing to come from the Supreme Court’s decision.

That’s not required by the case, but at least some schools are removing the official processes for legacy admissions.

If these schools are bought and paid for by some nefarious group looking to undermine white males, what is happening? Why are they failing so terribly?

The narrative just plods on in the face of simple facts completely not bearing out the claim. To say nothing of why exactly it would be such a scandal if the claims they're making were true.

I'm convinced they could just report there are no white people at Harvard, and it'd get picked up and run with and never retracted.
