A Little-Understood Engine of Campus Unrest: Racial Admissions Preferences
"Why are some of the most privileged students in the nation plunging
into a racial grievance culture and upending their campuses as though
oppressed by Halloween costumes they don’t approve, imagined racial
slights, portraits of Woodrow Wilson, a tiny handful of real racial
epithets, and the like?
The reasons are of course multifaceted.
But one deserves far more attention than it has gotten: Many or most of
the African-American student protesters really are victims — but not of
old-fashioned racism.
Most are, rather, victims of the very large admissions preferences
that set up racial-minority students for academic struggle at the
selective universities that have cynically misled them into thinking
they are well qualified to compete with classmates who are, in fact, far
stronger academically."
