#SupremeCourt #AffirmativeAction #Harvard

The affirmative action policy that blatantly discriminates against Asian minorities is contradictory and therefore unnecessary.😂😂😂
A win for those championing true meritocracy. A loss for the "anti-racist" racists.
Good luck winning!
Best thing that has happened in a while.
I believe that a person's merit should be the main focus…. however the history of this country is one of the things that causes an uneasiness if universities will be fair.
No one is stating the reason why Affirmative Action was there in the first place.
Why would they apply this to colleges, ,& exclude military schools?
Get rekt libs thank god trump secured the courts. 😂😂😂
But not at Military institutions
#DACA MOVING
Another handout snatched
America Is going down because of Europeans…..God wrath awaits you
If people are unaware that affirmative action is a systemically racist policy, that actually hurts everyone and that black people wanted to get rid of it too! Please educate yourselves, go watch/listen to people Like Thomas Sowell and Daryl Davis.
This must hit home for Justice Jackson, as she is obviously not very intelligent and would be a file clerk somewhere if not for affirmative action.
Has she figured out what a woman is yet?
Why should race be a factor? Shouldnt the brightest and most intelligent be first in line?
We need affirmative action in dating, i feel my brokedness has unfairly limited my options. Oh and im also unattractive so dos affirmative actions por favor.
Bo surprise only one of the four justices with ties to Harvard recused herelf
Affirmative action is itself racist in its core. It basically tells people with darker skin pigmentation (which I think is the only true difference between humans – brains having the exact same capacity regardless of color) that they are not as smart as a person with lighter pigmentation of skin tone. Basically telling a black person – “you are stupid”. It’s mine boggling for me that anyone would fail to see this!! Now, Hitler had that exact philosophy towards Jews and Gypsies and his solution was the elimination of these people. If US instead chooses to extend a hand – it’s definitely better but is still as dangerous, unethical and unscientific as Hitler’s ideas. You want to have equality – extend your hand to majority black schools, establish functional institutions for finding real jobs for younger black men and women, provide training, instead of telling them – “you’re stupid and so we give you a head start”
This affirmative action idea was possibly conceived by the Rats to help the minority enter a good school, or a school reserved only for rich and white. We, who they labeled as colored people, have to settle for regular schools. It’s life.
Democrat's need to learn how to buy judges,hit like if you agree ❤
Based on the Harvard diversity statistics, 39.7 percent of Harvard University’s enrolled student population is white, 13.7 percent of the population is Asian, 9.46 percent of the population is Hispanic or Latino, 6.56 percent of the population is black or African American, 3.94 percent of the population identifies as having more than one race, 0.197 percent of the population is American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.118 percent of the population is Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.
Idk what narrative y'all are trying to push but white people aren't discriminated against 😂
The only reason you 2 have your jobs is because of affirmative action. Pathetic
Seeing the same non-sense in the comment section abt 'we should uphold true equality and do away with affirmative action'. Everyone has the same starting point in an athletic race. Ask yourself, keeping in mind the histories of all communities, are they starting from the same starting point in life in this academic and professional race??
