Imagine my shock. Well played to the hacker. Hope these universities pay dearly for their crimes.

>Virtually every qualification favors White and Hispanic students

That should read "White and Asian students."

Racism is a moral good, we are in eternal tribal warfare.

Only the races moral enough to crush their enemies win.

This is why mixing races together is immoral, each one has to fight to the death so by mixing them together you create chaos, as God created species to fight until they separate as this is how you create distinction.

Disagree in full. Take this sort of posting elsewhere.

We sued the University of California, the University of Washington, the University of Michigan and Cornell for racial discrimination against Asians. (More details at https://sword.education)

We are trying to open their admissions black boxes through these litigations. Even with limited public data, we can see substantial racial disparity in admissions.

Many Asians were fine with discrimination when it was targeted at whites but now that Asians do too well and are now targets themselves, they complain. I’m glad they’re finally on the anti-racial discrimination train but it’s self-serving.

We don't need foriegn human capital, we should be doing eugenics on ourselves since decades ago. We can still do it by cranking out geniuses. Ashkenazim Jews power doesn't come from their 115 avg IQ, it comes from the right side of their bell curve. 24 140+ IQ people per 1000 iirc versus 4 140+ IQ per 1000 for white gentiles.

We can get our accomplished geniuses and former child prodigies to become gamete donors and make embryos for surrogacy + adoption for average families. We should be focusing on girls for the 1st generation, then males for the second generation. Male gametes are plentiful, but female gametes are scarce.

Let families know that whiz kids will grow up quickly and get high earning careers that they can leech off of. Pressure them with economic incentives.

Human capital is one of the most lucrative investments one can make.

It is time for whites/northern europeans to only focus on ourselves. Multiracial koombaya is an illusion and won't even bring progress. Save the race commies stuff for type 2+ civilizations.

I want to raise offspring made from white genius chad seed (NW european). I am

Just at least 1 SD above average and cancer runs in the family. How can I compete aganist 6ft+ blonde hair blue eyed applied math PhDs anyways.

So the key to outcompeting is to multiply our genetic top 1%

If students were required to be tested on exit for University accreditation then,

(1) Admissions racism would be obvious (and punishable)

(2) Grade inflation would not be an issue.

(3) Joke grievance studies majors would be easily provable to be grifts.

(4) Junk rankings putting Harvard at 3rd would disappear.

Yup great suggestion. Similar vibe to an essay I recently wrote on PhDs being too easy. The fact is, once you’re in, you’ve got away with the crime. It shouldn’t be possible for a mediocre IQ individual to make it through university, even if they get illegally vaulted past the admissions process

Great analysis, as always -- thank you. One comment: could it possibly be that Columbia is taking social class, e.g. family income, in to consideration? Seems this could also explain the observed data, as black and Latino households tend to have lower income that white households, and Asian households tend to have higher income.

Asians live in urban areas mostly, that affects it also.

Nope, doesn't work that way. They are even forced to take African elites' kids to push their BIPOC quota intakes. The best native BIPOC students they get come from rich two-parent families.

The race category is a self declaration. Meaning if a person is only 1/8 black, they can still claim to be black. I think that's what's happening. SAT scores of 1480 is exceedingly rare and this person can probably go to Harvard and not Columbia.

I still remember a high school classmate of mine applying to University as a "Native American." This is a normal looking white guy that is at best 1/8 and at worst 1/16 or 1/32 Native American. Yeah, he milked it for all its worth.

University should have obliged the applicant for preferential treatment to hand in an inspected oral scrape to be tested with 23andme, ancestry and myheritage lol

I always wondered how race was policed. I recall a story of how an Egyptian girl in HS applied to college as African in the 90s and they were pissed when she got there and was N Arab, though dark and likely had black ancestry but was Egyptian.

Isn’t it an honor system? Do colleges require proof?

I think if they dedicate so-and-so many placements to a group, they should make sure people don't cheat. Same as with SAT-s. One wouldn't accept cheating there, would one? Probably, the criteria for Black should be around 60%, as self-defined Blacks are around 80%. And the criteria for Hispanic should be at least 60% Amerindian AND Black (ie 30% of each would be OK).

Currently, the joke about the Black quota at Harvard is: Most of my Black friends here are BI - either BIafran or BIracial... So yes, people cheat if they only have to tick a box - see Senator Liz Warren of Amerindian ancestry.

Please ,if you have the data, can you provide the acceptance rates for these different racial groups broken down by those who did not supply test results and those who did supply test results?

It takes an illegal theft of data to prove an illegal policy of discrimination. Oh, the irony.

Do these results control for income and number of parents? When I was applying to various schools for this upcoming school year, many schools said that they also look at household income and whether or not an applicant was raised by a single parent. They said would use that information to take students’ SAT scores within the context of what advantages/disadvantages a student might have to see which students were the most naturally talented, unrelated to childhood disadvantages they might have. If these factors are correlated with racial groups, could this explain why the data might look like this?

So, does this data control for these factors? Is there a reason why it shouldn’t need to?

Actually, on paper universities wanted to do it. Until they discovered that their best chances of having better than normal BIPOC students lie with those that come from intact, high income families.

The irony of affirmative action is that it may be serving a protective right-wing function to the United States. Since most institutions of higher learning see themselves as hubs of global engagement, they enroll hundreds of thousands of Chinese students bound by Communist law to turn over information to their homeland, making them effectively a hostile foreign presence. I say, keep the foreign numbers down to a handful so loyal Americans fill the open spots at our top institutions. These institutions were not built for Chinese, Korean, or Indian kids, but our own. I don't care that they get high scores on exams. They're not us and we don't want them entering our leadership echelons.

Would love to see admissions broken down by school (also maybe gender?) My kid applied for engineering school last year & all I could think was maybe a 1570 wasn’t high enough these days given SAT inflation.
