So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.

Some of the people celebrating this have the notion that it will primarily help white kids. I suspect these people will be in for a rude awakening.

It helps rich white kids. A group that we really need to think about helping more because they have it so tough.

realistically it will help high-achieving east-asian first- and second- generation immigrants.

The people celebrating this are celebrating that it hurts Black and Hispanic students. White kids might get helped, or might not, but that was never really the goal.
