The man who thought "blacks" should attend "slower" colleges? Looks like we're making progress.

That's not what he said...

There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well

I love the "there are those who contend", as if that would convince folks that Scalia himself totally didn't feel this way and was randomly bringing up this nutjob claim for no reason whatsoever.

What makes this a nutjob claim. It seems obvious to me that if you admit certain categories of students due to reasons unrelated with their actual academic ability, they would do worse than the other students.

This is exactly what prompted affirmative action. Context is important. AA wasn't some random, unprovoked attack on my fellow white folks.

Do you mean that these institutions are biased to favor whites in the absence of affirmative action? If so then I mostly agree with that, but a better solution would just be completely race and name-blind admissions.

So you quoted "blacks" and "slower", even though those aren't quotes?

[–]sailorbrendan [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Um.... African American and slower track are both in the quote

[–]HapTrek13 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

He quoted "blacks" instead of "African Americans" and "slower" instead of "slower-tracked."

So yes, that is what Scalia said.
