President Trump to rescind Obama's guidance that encourage racial consideration in college admission

Can't wait to see the usual suspects get triggered by true equality under the law.
 
wait???!!! is this full-on no emphasis on color and just on scores/grades/extra curriculum activities then???

cause if so...

Asians be like "aight ya fuckin' JVs scrubs... get the fuck out of the line and let us through!" in every school entrance admission lines... lol.
 
So you say there are more black men in prison than college eh?
 
He rescinded guidance. It literally changes nothing about the way anyone does anything. It's more symbolic than anything. But symbolism does matter so it's not completely pointless.

true equality as in no white favoritism also? can my Asians get a fair shake?...
 
I see absolutely no problem with this. College acceptance should be based on grades from high school, SAT/ACT scores and in some cases extracurricular school activities. Not the color of your skin.

Take high school just a little bit seriously, do some ACT/SAT prep so you get a few extra points on your tests and maybe do a school team sport or join a club at some point in your high school career and let those results speak for you.
 
As it should be, merit based admission rather than you race
 
I don't think he was talking about the civil rights movement. I think he was talking about Obama making race a part of the application, which is pretty backwards from what we were going for in the civil rights movement.

You really didn't study the civil rights movement.

The Poor People's Campaign is glossed over for obvious reasons, whitewashed MLK singing kumbaya and not rocking the boat is all you cats remember.

Too late for ultraman (aka the guy who didn't know about the Electoral College).
 
Good

Your race has nothing to do with how qualified you are to attend college
 
Asian-Americans stand to gain as President Trump cancels affirmative action

NEW YORK -- The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has rescinded diversity-promoting guidelines for American college admissions and will opt instead for race-blind admissions. The move will likely favor Asian-Americans amid charges that such policies have held down their enrollment in elite institutions.

A joint letter issued by the Justice and Education departments on July 3 repeals seven documents offering legal guidance for achieving racial diversity, adopted under then-President Barack Obama.

The old guidelines, dating from 2011 to 2016, advocated positions that went beyond the Constitution's requirements on civil rights, the letter argues.

Policies like affirmative action in college admissions have long stirred controversy. And in recent years, some of the harshest criticism has come from a seemingly unlikely source.

Asians, the fastest-growing immigrant group in the country, have sped ahead with high grades and strong test scores but are not seeing admissions rates at elite universities reflecting that growth. Some now say they are victims of the same diversity policies intended to help minority groups like themselves.

"This is a triumphant moment for Asian American communities," the Asian American Coalition for Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring equal education rights for Asian-Americans, said in a news release following the announcement. The group praised the Trump administration's move as "a culmination of much-needed government actions to revamp misguided policies that facilitated widespread abuses of race-based affirmative action in higher education" and noted that the Obama-era "racial balancing" policies disproportionately hurt Asian-Americans.

Nice. I've heard people complain about this(mostly Koreans) for a long time.
