On the Fact that the Average SAT Score for Incoming Black Students at the University of North Carolina In 2012 Was a Mind-Boggling 235 Points Lower than that of the Incoming Asian-American Students

  Look, I'm not opposed to some attempts at diversity (having zero black students at Cornell, Duke, Vanderbilt, and NYU - institutions picked at random - probably isn't a good look) but it has to be balanced with other competing considerations (like, I don't know, not screwing Asian kids so much, maybe). My suggestion would be to take a smaller percentage of black students (the most highly qualified of the contingent), 4 or 5% instead of 13 and then backfill the open spots with more qualified Asians and "non-connected" whites. 
  As for the black students who won't get accepted into Cornell or Duke, have them apply instead to Stony Brook or UNC Charlotte. a) They're good schools (at least they used to be, pre-woke) and b) they're probably a better academic fit for these students (i.e., less dropping out, less changing of majors from tangible subjects to useless nonsense, less radicalizing, etc.). Granted, not everyone will be jumping for joy with this proposal, but in my view, it's the best for all groups in the long run.
