Short video but it shows some interesting things, particularly about California that I wasn't even aware of regarding college admission and the repeal of affirmative action in the mid-90's.

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” - James Baldwin
A UC administrator stated “unless the university took steps to ‘guide’ admissions decisions, UC would be dominated by Asians, adding, they are ‘too dull – they study, study, study.’
It should also come as no surprise that elite ‘Ivy’ schools discriminate as well. Thomas Espenshade, a Princeton sociologist, calculated that African-Americans who achieved 1150 scores on SAT tests had the same chances of getting accepted to top private colleges as whites who scored 1460 and Asians who scored perfect 1600.
Read Jason's book: 'Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder For Blacks To Succeed.' Excellent insights.
Tiger Mom vs. anti-abolitionist stereotypes
Even if you want to say that everyone is equally capable, in respects to intelligence, the Asians in question have a neurotic disposition, and the blacks in question have a passive disposition.
Black secessionists say it, too.
Most importantly, what was the purpose of the first colleges, as they were originally intended.
They were like the Greek, open forum or public library. Religion, humanistic philosophy, and science were discussed, contemporaneously. College was a free marketplace of ideas, like what we are doing here. It was like the internet.
Are they supposed to assign status, serve as a market control, to qualify people, give work assignments, saddling someone with lifelong debt peonage.
It was never invested with any moral authority, to the best of my understanding.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
I think, college is like Goebbels' big lie, because the state has failed to shield people from the consequences. This is a bubble, set to pop, like manufacturing, travel, dotoms, and real estate, which have no inherent value, besides to saddle the busybodies with makework.
