The GOP’s war on racially diverse college campuses was never going to be confined to the party’s war on affirmative action.

    Kids from poor White schools still don’t face as much of a headwind as kids from poor Black or Latino schools. Systemic racism is still present in k-12 education, and needs to be addressed before declaring victory at the college admission level and going home.

      Quite the blanket statement you’ve made there.

      Who’s going home and calling it a day? Affirmative action in its previous methodology is the only way to fight systemic racism? That’s black and white, a false dichotomy.

      It’s obvious that fighting discrimination with discrimination is self-defeating, but people don’t want to acknowledge when their thinking sucks. Instead the shouting just gets louder, and round and round we go.

      All the while the class warfare rages on.
