The Trump administration is directing the Justice Department to explore whether it can sue institutions of higher education over affirmative action policies that the White House deems discriminatory against white applicants, The New York Times is reporting.
The Times based its report on a document that it obtained.
The internal announcement to the Justice Department's civil rights division puts out a call for lawyers interested in working on a new project focused on "investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions," the Times reported.
Supporters and detractors of the project told the Times that the project was clearly going after programs that benefit black and Latino students and other groups.
Roger Clegg, a key official in the civil rights division in the Reagan and Bush administrations, told the Times that the project was "long overdue."
"

The civil rights laws were deliberately written to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is frequently the case that not only are whites discriminated against now, but frequently Asian-Americans are as well," Clegg said.
But Kristin Clarke, president of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said the project is "misaligned" with the central objectives of the department's civil rights division.
"It would be a dog whistle that could invite a lot of chaos and unnecessarily create hysteria among colleges and universities who may fear that the government may come down on them for their efforts to maintain diversity on their campuses," Clarke told the Times.

Well that's one biased and incorrect way to describe it.
Asians are probably hurt the most.

Translation: The accusation is 100% valid but if you proceed, we will declare your attempt to stop racism as racism.

Why does affirmative action still exist?

If she is white you can bet HER kids will never step aside from an opportunity they want for the sake of "diversity" but she sure as Hell will volunteer other peoples' kids to do it.

This.
It's outlived it's usefulness now. Racism, and I mean actual racism (not the stuff the left yells at you when they can no longer defend their position), is actually very rare in our society. People are judged on their character now more than any other time in this country's history. IMHO

This perfectly describes the Dear Colleague letter OCR sent out regarding sexual violence.

Because the federal government believes that black people as well as other minorities are too stupid to get ahead in life on their own merits and need to be propped up.
I, personally, disagree with that.

Asians are screwed because progressives don't view them as minorities, based solely on their economic situation.

The Pew Research Center found that Asian men’s median hourly earnings were higher than white men’s — $24 to $21, respectively. Asian women also earned more than white women ($18 per hour versus $17 per hour) and black and Hispanic wage earners regardless of gender, whose median hourly earnings were between $12 and $15.
Asian men are the highest earning demographic in America. They just come to our country and kick arse daily.

As long as DOJ is going after these schools for discriminating against any applicant (white, Asian, black, etc.), which is what it sounds like, I don't see a problem.
The government is required to guarantee equal protection of the law.

Somehow, Asians seem immune to the dark forces of oppression and Western Patriarchy that "hold so many disadvantaged groups down".
IQ and work ethic. Asians are actually privileged in that they are "differently-abled" and "differently intelligent" than NAMs.
