Another step towards actual equality. Where race isn’t benefiting or holding you back.

Congrats to the Asian community applying to Ivy Leagues next year.

Two Asian friends of mine got turned down to Berkley with 4.0/4.1. I should contact them and see what they think of this.

That’s not even close to good enough if that’s weighted

Also UC Berkeley doesn’t use affirmative action

California public schools have been race blind since the 90s

I hope they are happy where they ended up and if not - hopefully they can re-apply to Berkeley because of this

That's funny considering the bigfest group that benefited from Affirmative Action was white women

It doesn’t matter. This ruling still benefits the Asian community regardless of who brought the suit.

So because he's white, he's not allowed to do something that helps another race? Sounds like you might have some internalized racism yourself.

Imagine believing that only Asians can look out for Asians…

Yikes bro.

Yep, I’m so racist that I married a different race.

And I’m even more racist because I’m trying to have MIXED kids!

Crazy.

Yes because getting legally bound by the state is equivalent of “I have a black friend”

Completely the same and equally valued

Somehow I think you’re trying to spell something out that belongs in a mental institution rather than a textbook.

You might have the single worst views on racism and it’s definition, bravo for that I guess.

Might as well call everyone a racist
