Continue to ignore that fact that less qualified students were admitted over her simply because of race. Ignore the fact that AA has a detrimental affect on impoverish whites and Asians, especially Southeast Asians who faced so much hardship.

Inside the court, attorneys for the university argued that race is never considered alone, but only as part of a holistic approach that takes a variety of factors into consideration.*They admitted, however, that one goal is to increase the percentage of black students on campus.
But because that does not create a "critical mass" of racial groups,*the school also considers race in filling out the rest of each year's class.
bottom of the barrel..etc.
Go back to your double-wide and fry something.
You are beyond ignorant. Truly ignorant.
It is surely difficult to school the ignorant.
The US Supreme Court took her case because it has at least some truth/merit in it. Because even UT lawyers had to say:
Of course, we all know "using race" = always use HS grade, SAT/ACT score, and extra curriculum activities and NOTHING else, right??? ROTFLMAO (sarcastic). If you do believe in that, I have several nice houses on sandy beach at the swamp land in Louisiana for sale very cheap.
Speaking of ignorant and immature, this is what Ms. Fisher (a HS honor grad with better than SAT score plus a college grad from an accredited school) ...
Can you imagine a white person says “go back to your ghetto housing project and eat your water melon/fried chicken then drink some grape soda”?*
Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see with your own eyes, they can try to spin and spin and paint facts as something else, the truth is still coming out.
Just as 1180 will always be >>> 1120. I just could not believe that ignorant folk could not see that.
Amazing.
And DO NOT quote me with my name in as I said before, you are not worthy to do so, you ignorant racist fool. Go away, learn some math and how to use facts and logic.
I am done with you. You are beyond ignorant. Truly ignorant.
She didn't get in because she wasn't smart enough. Period. 1100-1200 on the SAT is average, average, average. Daddy's little princess was told no for the first time in her life, shitfit commences. Tough shit. Stand aside and let those who didn't make a mediocre score pass, and go on to community college where you belong.
At this point it seems pretty cut and dried that Ms. Fisher would not have made the cut absent any affirmative action program. Someone was knocked out of a spot by an affirmative action entrance, but it wasn't her. It's impossible for any of us to make an informed judgment about the relative academic worth of the affirmative action students versus those whose grades and SATs would otherwise have gotten them in; all we can do is in the abstract say affirmative action is bad. But if we're to make that assertion, we also have to look at the effect of not having affirmative action, which is also bad. It's much better to lift up the downtrodden rather than to lower the bar for them, but until we figure out how to do that, affirmative action is the best we can do. Given this, I assume that SCOTUS took this case because it offers a clear legal circumstance to define what is and is not acceptable behavior - what can and cannot be counted as equal to scholastic potential and achievement - in an area SCOTUS considers in need to change or definition. While it's theoretically possible SCOTUS will strike down affirmative action, I'd guess it's much more likely SCOTUS will make a small change in how slots are apportioned or how various factors are weighted.
Look at Europe; many European nations have ethnic underclasses of 2% to maybe 10% of population. That pits one group against another and gives a significant number of citizens no real stake in the country's success. This is a very bad thing, even absent the legacy of slavery, segregation and institutionalized discrimination. In my own state of Tennessee blacks are represented at university at roughly half their general population percentage even with affirmative action, so clearly this needs to be addressed. The University of Texas also enrolls blacks at roughly half their general population percentage, so it's going to be difficult to claim it is unreasonably favoring blacks over Ms. Fisher.
Affirmative action is government's version of the prodigal son. I was once denied the opportunity to even apply for a TVA training program (steam plant operator) because it was limited to minorities because there were very few minority steam plant operators. Guess what - I'm not making as much as I would as a steam plant operator, but I'm doing fine. That's the point of affirmative action, the majority can take care of itself without any special benefits and can even afford to raise the bar a bit. I look forward to the day when government at least is truly colorblind, but that day isn't today.
Then how do we explain the fact that around 30 to 40% of those admitted had lower SAT and Grades than her.
Their is also a second named plantiff who scored 1290 on her SAT and 3.867 on her SAT. The second plantiff was also in the top 10.14% of her class.
Source?
And...
There is no second plantiff anymore. She dropped her complaint a while ago.
The top bottom 25% is 1120 and she got 1180 she got higher than the bottom 25% at least. The average 50% was 1230, we can extrapolate that with an 1180 she was some where in the 30 to 40% range.
Some of those are undoubtedly legacies; if a parent is a graduate (and makes contributions) they'll cut you some slack. That was one of the original justifications of affirmative action in college admissions - having long been explicitly kept out of many universities and by circumstance largely shut out of all non-black universities, blacks would be unlikely to ever catch up as they would need to be much more qualified.Then how do we explain the fact that around 30 to 40% of those admitted had lower SAT and Grades than her.

It does indeed have a detrimental effect on individuals within those groups. There is no way government can make someone's life without making someone else's life worse, and in the case of affirmative action it's a one-for-one exchange. That's unfortunate, but it's the cheapest, easiest way to raise up an identifiable group.Continue to ignore that fact that less qualified students were admitted over her simply because of race. Ignore the fact that AA has a detrimental affect on impoverish whites and Asians, especially Southeast Asians who faced so much hardship.
