re: Race baiting student put in her place again by Supreme Court

oh we have another absurd strawman

quote:

---

“Rigorous judicial review,” Blum’s new petition argues, “would have revealed that UT’s ‘qualitative’ diversity interest is in fact illegitimate. It depends on the assumption that, as a group, minorities admitted through the Top Ten Percent Law are inherently limited in their ability to contribute to the university’s vision of a diverse student body, merely because many come from majority-minority communities.”

Translated from legalese to English: It’s supposedly racist to let students of color with middling grades into UT Austin, because you’re assuming they can’t do better.

saying that the assumption that majority-minority students are inherently limited and require skewed admissions (like the top 10% rule) to get into UT does NOT mean that anyone is assuming the students "can't do better" or that they have "middling grades" (as they have to be in the top 10%).

you can only argue a position is absurd and display that absurdity if you use logic. the author created the classic strawman argument

...again
