Are you saying then that Harvard should be allowed to discriminate against other minorities for their benefit. Also what makes you say none of the other applicants weren't as good? All applicants must pass the same entrance exams.
I don't think race should factor into a student's application at all.

Over the period charted in the dataset, Asian-American applicants to Harvard earned an average SAT score of 726. White applicants earned an average score of 713, Native-American and Native-Hawaiian applicants an average score of 658, Hispanic-American applicants a score of 650, and African-American applicants a score of 622.
Across the same time span, Asian-Americans saw the lowest acceptance rate of any racial group, according to a Crimson analysis of the same dataset. White applicants saw the second-lowest acceptance rate and African-American applicants saw the highest acceptance rate.

I didn't say that none of the other applicants were good, or even that test scores are the only factor.
The average Asian applicant's score is higher than the average admitted score in 3 out of the 4 remaining categories. Yet they have the lowest acceptance rate?
I can't see how there's not a decent amount of Asian students losing out because of their race. How is that fair? How is punishing the individual for their race supposed to fix racism?

Already nearly 100 shootings in New York this month, every single victim is a member of a minority group, as were 97% of June's.

This is indeed true, but to follow BLM logic, it’s racist to blame minority groups for shooting each other. The correct way to deal with this is to shoot more white people.https://twitter.com/Tom_Winter/status/128024501571...
This is in the same vein as Harvard actually biasing against (And limiting the number of ) Asian Americans as they are too good at maths and as such are not leaving space for other minorities who as not quite as good as them.
.
If BLM was really about black lives mattering, they wouldn’t be pulling down abolitionist statues and they wouldn’t have just shot indiscriminately into the car of a black driver at one of their protests, killing his eight year old black daughter.
This is what I don't understand, the vast majority of the shootings in New York and probably the US as a whole seem to be black on black but the BLM movement seems to be pushing an agenda that white Vs black is a major issue, when in fact it is not, to me it seems that BLM only when whites or the police are involved. I regularly read stories of black guys shot in front of there kids by other gang members but this raises little news. Crazy times.

So much wrong in that post its hard to know where to start so I’ll just say...Black lives matter isn’t about your average white guy in the street killing a black man or woman it’s about white authority (where the power resides) killing black people.

Jimmythingy mentioned Black people killing other Black people in significant numbers, is that not part of the BLM manifesto ?
Is BLM purely founded on the White authority/Police brutality/Oppression/Racism issues ?
If so, sounds like it either needs encompassing or another movement as it seems almost overlooked, 100 deaths in New York alone is mind boggling.

It’s not just Harvard, California is about to amend its constitution removing the law against discrimination by race...to allow for “positive discrimination”.I guess it’s the same as equality allowing black only dormitories in some colleges.

The thing with BLM is that it’s not one unified movement, currently you can count around 5 groups that can either claim to be BLM or are organising BLM events.None of them really put black lives as the primary reason to exist, or they would indeed be talking about black on black crime. They really are a generally socialist movement (look at chop/chaz). As such they will portray black on black crime as the fault of the patriarchy for keeping minorities poor (let’s not talk about the over performing and very inconvenient Asians) hence giving no other option other than violence.
This is really coming to a head now. I think what’s going kill it is that the ground swell of SJW support for the black community is going to crash into the other current powerhouse of the SJW movement...trans rights.

That's interesting because the organisation with the far left manifesto seems to be what everyone has now distanced themselves from, with any smaller groups simply being the ones with the genuine social justice aims.None of them really put black lives as the primary reason to exist, or they would indeed be talking about black on black crime.

The mayor of Atlanta is saying “enough is enough” after an 8-year-old black girl was shot dead by Black Lives Matter agitators at a demonstration site over the weekend. Authorities say at least two people opened fire on a car trying to drive through an occupied protest area, hitting the girl. There’s now a $10,000 reward for information on the child’s killers.
Ever notice how all these cities where there are issues are so racist they have black police chiefs, black councillors , black mayors, black governors, democrat For decades
Yet it’s all republicans fault and orange man bad.

What I don't understand is where defending the rights of black people becomes the shootings that are happening in the States daily.
