    Mission accomplished.

    It was time.

    High time, but we'll take it now that we got it.

    Wipe your tears BigCypress...it's a painful but necessary step towards racial equality, which your party always seems to take kicking and screaming...

    It’s interesting noticing which demographic is cheering this decision as a win for them, despite the case focusing on Asian Americans.

    Looking forward to the next “Why don’t blacks vote for us” thread.

    One thing is clear is that Asian Americans shouldn’t vote for democrats.

    And yet, the majority do. It's a wonder they don't vote for the white nationalist party.

    SCOTUS put the dirty whores in their place by overturning Roe and now they took care of the uppitys.

    It's obvious where their Wonder bread is buttered.

    I see you missed the entirety of that thread. You must work for cnn, taking quotes out of context.
    How about find the other posts that give explanation.
    You’re worse than cnn, you won’t even post an apology when you lie.

    The only good thing about this decision is that I don’t have to hear all the constant whining about how unfair Affirmative Action in colleges is anymore. Waiting to see who or what will be the blame next when their kid still doesn’t get into the college they want.

    Wouldn’t it be easy for you to posts the context for rationalizing it yourself?

    Oh, Murph, they'll still blame affirmative action. Certain media sources (cough Fox News cough) have run stories complaining about affirmative action being the reason why some person with good credentials didn't get into the college of their choice and cited their rejections from top public universities in California (like Cal-Berkeley), despite the fact that California outlawed affirmative action decades ago.

    I remember David Duke attacking affirmative action in the 1990’s. It’s informative seeing who cheerleads the loudest.

    The Asian kid that won the suit may or may not realize he was a pawn. I’m guessing not, since in his press conference he noted he believed in diversity and attempts to emphasize diversity (so the guy who “won” the case believes in concepts such DEI, I guess so long as he’s on the correct side of it… I found his apologetic comments interesting). He probably doesn’t comprehend the vast majority cheering loudest for “his side” in this case loathe diversity and loathe his very existence/presence in this country.

    Your view of society is sad. Were you not hugged as a kid? Everything in life is not based upon evil intent and racism. Try and enjoy Freedom next week.

    racism comes in all forms. Even delusional, self-described acts of “love” can still be racist, much like your post here. Race has nothing to do with whether a person should be admitted into college. In fact, race has nothing to do with just about anything. But you keep your social Justice ribbon and hang tough.

    I hope no one actually thinks Harvard is suddenly going to increase its Asian enrollment substantially

    won’t be long before they start whining that too many Asian and Indians are being accepted over whites, and not reflective of racial demographics..

    You will hear it, they will claim all those colleges are still practicing it secretly. Quotas were illegal since before I was alive, yet the discourse would have you believe that's basically whats been happening with affirmative action until yesterday.

    If you dont want people from lower incomes to go to college, you should be in favor of the current system, the cost alone keeps lots of poor people from even applying, and even if they do, they are weighted down with debt for decades after.
