Biden DOJ drops Yale equality lawsuit
-
Another win for special rights.
The Biden DOJ dropped the lawsuit against Yale for discriminating against whites and asians in admissions.
Biden stabbed asians in the back, gee who wudda thunk it.

You really don't care about back-stories, do you?
This lawsuit was a back-door attack on all race-related admissions - especially targeting affirmative action policies.
Yale was giving credit to low-income, urban high school graduates that gave them "seats" in the admissions class that "rich white" students thought should be rightfully theirs...
But that wouldn't look good - bad optics there, fighting for rich white kids (and let's face, it: we're talking the rich white kids who were "on the cusp" - not the ones who truly got there on the merit of their achievements!).... so, what's a rich, white daddy to do?
Here's a thought - pit one minority against another so we can get ALL the economic (which is, face it, really race) based admissions criteria! That way, little Johnny - who's been in elite, private schools with tutors and coaches to help his every kernel of knowledge - has the advantage over those poor black kids that I paid so dearly for all of this lazy kid's damned life!
Hmmm... can't pick Latins - they're mostly in the same poor neighborhoods as the blacks... I know, we'll use ASIANS! They're still a minority, right? And most of them are in the good neighborhoods too! So these kids are being discriminated against too!
Anyway, the schools WANT to have integrated, diverse classes of students... so there are set-asides to ensure that people from disadvantaged homes (and countries of origin) have a few spots...
It's not like they're turning Yale into an HBCU here!
In a perfect world, rich kids wouldn't have educational advantages over poor ones.
In a perfect world...Aw, fuck that - this isn't a perfect world! FAR FROM IT!

So you are a conservative who supports all the woke'isms, but you get offended when I call you a RINO.
Well, AA does absolutely nothing for poor white boys.
Also, your beloved race-based admissions harm asians, even if you don't care about white males.
Your fellow liberals hate school choice.
You need to watch Jesse Lee Petersen's The Fallen State. He's a black conservative who mostly interviews liberal blacks. It's quite funny and quite sad. Anyway, this self-confessed uber-rich, uber privileged girl admitted that she couldn't be bothered to do her schoolwork so when it came time to get into UCLA, she needed AA to get in. She sees no problem with any of that. You know, cause fuck white people and asians who could have had her place.
Women still get AA, despite them being the dominant gender in college.
Sweden got rid of AA when their supreme court said AA had to be given to males in areas they lag behind. Quite telling really. It's the same country that has a group of woke male politicians who want to ban males from standing up to piss.

I didn't say whether I supported race-based admissions or not...
I provided back-story to an argument you made as-if it was a clear-cut, obvious case (they seldom are)...
-
Race-based admissions are racist, in that anyone from certain races has to perform higher than other races, regardless of background.
Rich blacks benefit, while poor white males suffer under the guise of racial equality.
-
Forgetting other things, is it the right of Yale to want a racially diverse student body?
Remember: Yale is a private institution...
They have rights that are not superceded by students' rights!Again: the real story is much deeper and more complex than you appear to consider...

Ah, so they take my tax $$$ and get to discriminate against me for my race and gender.
How do I get something like that?
Yale is in the top 20 colleges when it comes to getting federal tax money.
-
The tax money they get is in the form of research grants and student loans.
They are a privately-held university. They do not receive government (that would be State money, and they are in CT) funding for operations, buildings, or anything else.
As opposed to somewhere like the Georgia Institute of Technology.
- Also a leader in government grants and research
- but, unlike Yale, Ga Tech is a Public University - a part of the University System of GA.
- Taxpayers of GA pay large amounts of the money spent at Ga Tech for buildings, upkeep, professors salaries, and the like. In exchange, students from the State of GA pay lower tuition than those from other locations. (Forgetting scholarships).
