At the end of the day the only real solution to the problem of inequity/representation will end up being hard quotas that roughly maintain a demographic balance at top institutions.

At that point you can make most competition intra-racial with obvious carve outs for socioeconomic, sexual and gender minorities.

the devil is in the details as to how such a controversial system could be implemented but it’d be a trial-and-error process for sure.

Ah, so you mean discriminating against Asians for their success?

May I remind you that Asians in the USA did not participate in mass enslavement of black and brown bodies.

Why should they have to give up spots for less qualified individuals? Have they not struggled enough? Most of their great grand parents were building our train tracks!
