After the Supreme Court pulled the plug on affirmative action, the diversity numbers at places like MIT are looking a lot less ... well, diverse.
MIT just announced that the percentage of black students in their incoming class dropped from an average of 13% in recent years to 5%. Hispanic students? Down from 15% to 11%.
Asian Americans, however, are up to 47% of the class from 41%.
White supremacy strikes again!
This change is notable, as it indicates that colleges have indeed been discriminating based on ethnicity (also known as being racist).
After the Supreme Court's decision that using race as a filter for college admissions is racist — aligning to the view of 50% of Americans who disapprove of considering race and ethnicity in admissions, compared to just 33% who still approve — MIT's administration is trying to sound the alarm.
Their dean of admissions, Stu Schmill, announced that other efforts would be used to improve diversity.
"If MIT cannot find a way to continue to draw on the full range of human talent and experience in the future, it may threaten the qualitative strength of the MIT education, both by a relative reduction in the educational benefits of diversity and by making our community less attractive to the best students from all backgrounds," Schmill said.
Anything to ignore that choosing people based on immutable characteristics like race is one thing: Bigoted.
The woke Left seems to understand this:
Let this black MIT grad explain why admitting people to specialized education programs based on skin color is a bad thing:
Kiyah says "affirmative action benefits no one."
What an "extremist"!
