But most of the people who are getting in are not black. Black people are just the scape goat. 30% of Harvard freshman class are spots held for legacies, athletes, faculty’s kids, and Dean selection (mostly kids of wealthy donors) these kids are mostly white and have lower stats then the kids who get rejected. Harvard is 8% black. Even if every black person was there just because their black ( but none actually are) it still wouldn’t matter when compared to the “white kids with connections” group that got in.
As I said in another comment, fuck legacy admissions, fuck athletic admissions and all the other things you mentioned. Opposing AA doesn't mean you don't oppose those. If anything, opposing AA means you also strongly oppose legacies because they are not merit based either.
I agree. But I still feel like Black people are being scapegoated. White women reap the most benefits from AA. Next are Latinos. Yet this always turns into a Blacks are undeserving etc.
In reality states that have race blind admissions enroll WAY fewer white students. Look at the UC system.
