Jennifer Gratz.
Damn you people are fucking ignorant. This was a landmark case. Perhaps you need to learn when to shut up and listen to the adults in the room. That way you wouldn't look so foolish.
FYI, the University of Michigan ranked applicants on a 150 point scale. And gave blacks a 20 point bonus. SCOTUS ruled that that practice was discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional.
And the most hilarious thing about it is that UM could have easily won the case if they simply argued the case from a statistical reality standpoint rather than being so concerned about appearing PC.
Poor Jennifer Gratz
She's like the poster child for white people about how unfair it is towards them and how black people have it so easy and how we get all the goodies and treats and the red carpte treatment
The fact is
Real evidence of anti-white bias in the workplace or in education is extraordinarily rare.
Did black students (and other students of color) with lower scores than Jennifer Gratz get into the Uni of Michigan ?
Yes they did. There were around 10 (Don't quote me on that exact number but it was around 10)
Happy now ?
But guess what ?
There were around 1400 (Don't quote me on that exact number but it was around 1400) other white students also were admitted ahead of Jennifer Gratz, despite having lower scores and grades.
Now if this was about fairness then logically Gratz should have gone after the 1000’s of whites who got in ahead of her n not really bother why the 9 or 10 blacks (And other students of colour who did) who got in ahead of her.
Not to mention the fact that this Jenny Gratz case at The University of Michigan give out 16 points to kids from the lily-white Upper Peninsula and 4 points for children of overwhelmingly white alumni, and 10 points for students who went to the state’s “top” schools and 8 points for those who took a full slate of Advanced Placement classes in high schools (which classes are far less available in schools serving students blk students) to you this is seen as perfectly fair, and not at all racially preferential. Right ?
Whites and delusional minorities are always claiming blacks should "work hard and stop looking for handouts" but when blacks achieve they are chomping at the bits to find reasons why blacks don’t deserve to sit at the table ?
Which is it ?
They are letting dumb-ass white students in there all day because of their fathers or uncles. Most blacks applying could run circles around them academically but they would never ever be admitted.
You don't even know how the admissions procedure works but there is one thing I do know. It's not black people who are calling shots in the admissions room.
So they can and do say anything to black students "your application was late", "it got lost" "We don’t like your essay".............
ANYTHING.
Our black ass is not getting in, no matter what.
They reserve over 50% of seats for white students at most schools, graduate and undergraduate and then about 10-20% for asians and Indians.
If lame ass cry baby Gratz couldn't wiggle in one of those spots, that's her own fault.
Black people legit get like 3-5% of most incoming class seats.
We are taking no one's spots trust me.
College admissions is nothing but game. And they change the rules every year so it's hard to keep up.
And the most hilarious thing about it is that UM could have easily won the case if they simply argued the case from a statistical reality standpoint rather than being so concerned about appearing PC
Well that's kinda debunked by the fact that there were approximately two thousand other whites who were rejected along with Gratz, despite having had higher scores and grades than she.
Getting into college is not just a cold statistical numbers score.
You have a legacy and being a legacy only works if you have a trust fund and your parents have been donating a good % of their annual salary to the school. Your dad holds political office or your parents are fortune 500 CEOs, COOs, CFOs or CAOs. Anyone else, it's still a crap shot.
It might get your resume an extra 5 second glance but if they see average jobs and medium income zip-code on your application, you can forget about it.
Blaming the handful of black people that get in is ridiculous. More Black Americans are becoming doctors (despite the obstacles set for black people) and non-blacks hate to see a black person who is superior to them in anything and become bitter and jealous.
