…or ban race-based affirmative actions in college admissions, almost certainly by Friday, June 30. Dems have to be careful here, they could alienate Hispanic and Asian voters. Most higher echelon colleges (think top twenty) have broadly diverse student populations. Stanford’s undergraduate caucasian population is less than half that represented in the broader overall population.

Less than half what population, mick? Stanford is filthy with global citizens who no longer care about representing American interests.
If history is an indicator, colleges will lower standards for all applicants in order to admit whomever they like in the interest of “inclusion.” Think “test optional” these days.

Less than half what population, mick?
Per the 2020 U. S. Census, the population was 61.6% White. Stanford’s undergraduate profile is 31% White — half that of the nation as a whole.
I can recall growing up in a single mother household in SF. Mom couldn’t afford to feed me and my brother, we went to live with my father. She tried to get Laurie into Lowell HS (the “academic” public high school in SF), but was rejected. In the rejection letter, the San Francisco Unified School District helpfully explained that because she was caucasian, she did not qualified for hardship admissions.
Oh.
Anyway, she went off the rails for about 15-20 years, ended up getting kicked out of the crappy public high school she attended. She joined the Army, became an MP, saved some money, got a UCSC english degree, a mail-order Masters and her PhD from SUSE (pronounced “Suzy”), the Stanford University School of Education, at the age of 41 or so.
Always wondered if her life would have turned out differently if she was admitted to Lowell.

Not sure how much the City tried to defend the tests. But just because you got a degree doesn’t mean you know things (or should be teaching).

No doubt you’re familiar with Oceangate, the organization responsible for the submersible trapped at the bottom of the ocean. The CEO, Stockton Rush (and yes, he looks as WASP-y as his name sounds) expressly didn’t want to hire “50 year old White guys” because we were so “uninspiring”.
This dipshit’s sub went missing June 18 of the coast of Newfoundland in 13,000 feet of water. It hasn’t been seen since.
Most interesting part of the story? The former OceanGate director of marine operations David Lochridge — a 51-year-old white guy — reportedly warned Rush and company management in writing that his sub tech was not safe. He was fired and escorted from the premises for his trouble.
It’s quite a story.
