Real Institutional Racism

If all elite private universities enacted race-blind admissions, the percentage of Asian students would jump from 24 percent to 39 percent (similar to what they already are now at Caltech and Berkeley, two elite institutions with race-blind admissions; the former due to a belief in meritocracy, the latter due to Proposition 209).

It's a testament to just how intellectually and morally bankrupt our institutions of 'higher' 'learning' are.  John M. Keynes described them when he described his Bloomsbury friends:  "We were all immoralists".  Howzabout treating people as human beings rather than political categories?
