75% of Indian Americans having a bachelor's degree or higher versus 15% of Laotians and Cambodians

So, I didn't dig into the opinion. Can schools look at the social situations and backgrounds of applicants if race is ignored?

from a quick glean I sawr Roberts appears to carve out a little space where someone who personally experienced racial discrimination could receive some kind of positive consideration for that, presumably illustrated in their personal essay

If you stop using objective standardized testing you can still go buckwild as long as you ask the right questions.

Yeah, but I would think that a great deal of Asian and Asian Americans have also experienced oppression and discrimination. It'll put admissions in quite a position to decide "well, which was worse?".

It's the model minority mentality. We are successful because we bootstrapped ourselves up by stunting our children emotionally and turning them into 4.0 / 1600 robots, and we want the payoff damn it.

Who cares about the oppression the brown people suffer, especially because we oppressed the brown Asians anyway.

Alright...9am. Time to get our asses kicked.

303 creatives first up. Penned by Gorsuch. They find for the web developer. First amendment prevents Colorado from compelling then to make a website for a gay wedding. 6-3 ruling. You don't need to know the split, you already do.

From the Sotomayor dissent: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class."

[kuronosan]

Good thing we didn't vote for Hillary!

[Tyche]

Gorsuch read from the opinion. Sotomayor is still reading from her dissent from 303. They're lengthy.

[Mertron]

Good thing we didn't vote for Hillary!
