The SC ruling was in June 2023. There hasn't been a full class of college applicants since then. Where are the numbers in the TikTok video coming from?
Asian students were some of the public proponents of these measures, but there were/are a lot of backers and funders of the measures to dismantle Affirmative Action. The voters in the state of Cali voted against it in 1996, and the proposition to repeal it was voted down in 2020. In super liberal, super progressive California. The sentiment about this issue has been blowing in that direction for a few decades now.
I think some were pumpfaked because people say one thing in public, and then say/vote/donate to another thing privately.

The tiktok is talking about legacy students are a bigger factor in admissions than "affirmative action students"

Basically the person is pulling stats re: wytes/legacy wytes are given preference over Asians of a similar academic background... she's recognizing that the "discrimination" against Asian applicants is just gonna shift to allowing in more wytes NOT just a reduction in Black's which could make more room for Asians. Asians are already over represented.

Her "numbers" are from legacy stats that everybody already but them knew.

She seems to be pandering. On this particular issue, Asian American groups were essentially fighting against a cap on their admissions numbers. They fought to remove the cap, and expect to see their numbers go up at the selective schools. In theory, the percentages of white students admitted will go down, as will the percentages of other non-Asian groups. We'll see if this occurs in practice the next few years.

What the woman in the video is running with doesn't add up.

I agree. It's pandering for now...

They want all the spots... but feel stupid because the real fight is legacy and wyte people being wyte... they're gonna start pandering cuz they're conflicted: go after wytes themselves or rile up FBA to somehow fight legacy.

They can all hold their own egg rolls.

they’ll continue blaming black people.

:unimpressed:
It's an American tradition.

Corporations commit massive wage theft

Politicians refuse to hold them accountable

Politicians refuse to push publicly funded post secondary education resulting in perverse incentives like legacy admissions.

Somehow this is our fault. It's classic scapegoating. Take a group that has collectively less power and blame them instead of the people who can and do actually do shyt.

Acceptances have gone out this fall, especially in the run up to the holidays.
