Justice department sues Yale for illegal discrimination based on race

Yale University’s undergraduate admissions process “illegally discriminates” against White and Asian students, the Department of Justice said Thursday.

A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that “race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year,” in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the DOJ said in a press release.

The DOJ’s probe of Yale found that Asian American and White students are one-tenth to one-fourth as likely to be admitted to the New Haven, Connecticut, university as Black students with comparable academic resumes, the press release said.

The last part is probably key.

More important is what the Biden admin might do.

Always questionable and curious when people choose to start caring about "discrimination".

Are Asian-americans not deserving of equal treatment?

IMO not really at a private university but if LU can't discriminate against certain groups(perfectly reasonable decision) and take federal funds it should be the same here .

Do you care about this discrimination?

So, as an Asian-American, I think affirmative action is a good thing, because it allows underprivileged minorities to get ahead. I would prefer that it would be reformed to also benefit Asians, who have also struggled in this nation for a while. But I can't support this lawsuit, because the end result is that this will end up benefitting white people far more than Asians, and minorities will once again be shafted. Affirmative action exists to benefit minorities, and yes while it usually doesn't benefit Asians, that's not a reason to throw it out, instead that's a way to push it to benefit all minorities, yet as I already said minorities will get shafted by this lawsuit, and white people will benefit.

By definition, you can't "reform affirmative action to also benefit Asians." Asians don't need affirmative action; that's why they make up such disproportionate percentages of students at so many elite institutions even despite affirmative action laws.

He wants to keep acting woke but also boost his chances in college lol.

The thread title is dishonest. It isn’t about wrongfully refusing to admit Asian students.

How is my thread title dishonest when its basically just the article title?

 The 1964 Civil Rights Act was and is still a huge mistake and there is no reason to continue that mistake.

Jaichind at job interview in 1963 .

 Interviewer -- "So solly, Chinaman! We don't hire your type here!"

Jaichind -- "Hrumph. This will all be worth it when Goldwater is elected and cuts capital gains taxes."

The logical conclusion of such logic is that everyone should have a mind reader attached to their brain so when they walk past a store A and enter store B to buy groceries the mind reader should ascertain if such a decision was based on the race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age etc etc of the store owner of A and report such findings to the government

What are frankly juvenile assessment of racial discrimination. Until the 1964 CRA pass, there were stores throughout the South and the country that said whites only.

And where the government mandates them to be White only I would oppose such government action but where they make that choice as part of a business strategy I feel they should be free to do so.  A private institution should have the freedom of association and make its own decisions on who or what they want to make economic transitions with.  The only part of 1964 Civil Rights Act which I would back is that it would make illegal state and local government action to mandate racial segregation for private institutions.    

" segregation as a business strategy". Neat.

Let me remind you, gentle readers, that this vileness comes from the same poster who, quite seriously, acknowledged he would invest in a child prostitution brothel so long as it was sufficiently profitable for him.

All of Jaichind’s comments there were horrid. Horrid.

Words fail me as to what an HP Jaichind is. One gets the impression he loves money so much he'd open an overseas teen brothel if it was highly profitable and he wouldn't get sued or lose social status over it.

Not kidding.

Thank you for your feedback.  I guess I have several response to this

1) Yes, I would absolutely be willing to invest in the adult entertainment industry if I thought the ROI was better than other industries.  In fact several years ago I looked into a fund which explicitly invested in brothel in Australia.  I did not put any time looking into it further on the basic reasoning that the demand for brothel services must be long term trend decline  the hook up cultural we live in while the liberalization of third world economies would increase supply.  That fund did not go anywhere folded anyway.  In fact I think I read a few economic papers after that which pretty much said the same thing.  The relative drop in the relative compensation of an escort from a hundred years ago is actually quite dramatic.  A friend of my at work did have a chance two decades ago to get into internet porn distribution industry but choose not to and has kicked himself ever since as he missed out on a bundle of money.  Now that was an investment worth getting into a couple of decades ago and perhaps even now.
 
2) The best I would do is to invest in such an enterprise as a passive investor and not try to run it.  While I am fairly successful as a middle/upper management type I would actually be a pretty horrible entrepreneur as I am pretty poor at thinking outside the box.  So even if I would try to make money out of this industry I would not "open" any brothel or related entities but invest in or loan money said  enterprise.

He probably missed the words teen.
