Partners at Wachtell are not "fabulously wealthy." Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are fabulously wealthy.

David Lat iz. a rasist,

And attirmafive acfion is rasist.

I am NOT a pimpp? rasists.

You, a, really should have looked at both charts (the SAT AND the class rank chart) before making your comment, instead of just the SAT chart. But I guess you were in a rush.

Well it didn't take long for the Jones shtick to appear...

We need to bomb the bogeymen back to the stoneage!
-DOJ Secure

The only interesting question is who will represent ATL?

Any word on Duane Morris layoffs?

8: Elie Mystttal, admitted New York, on the brief.

DOJ Secure = best ATL shtick ever.

“To be clear, if any group is getting “screwed” by affirmative action it is rich Asians”

Elie, you use “to be clear” so often people will start mistaking you for obama

Well, Lat must be moderately pleased to have three quarters of the legal blogosphere joining in saying Jones is a twit for filing this suit.

I didn't need a lawsuit to know that Elie is racist.

I once did something awful in Boulder that apparently raised the suspicions of this particular officer that is the subject of that last link, as I found out after my return home. It involved a blow up sheep, a handful of maraschino cherries, and some bible thumpers who had set up camp in a bar to bring everyone' mood down. What a glorious evening that was. Turns out Colorado is really big on that skinny bloody guy on the t shaped stick.

This should put pro-choicers at odds with the fruits about the nature of privacy rights.

Asians do better on the SAT because most of the people creating that biased test are Asian. Disgusting.

Asians only do better on the math part. They struggle on verbal. Interestingly, this holds true for g-loaded tests administered in the native language. Asians are just better at math than language.

What is this affirmative action bullshit? On my island you are all equal---equally worthless!

8 - Good question. I usually come to ATL to find out who is representing clients in interesting/wacky law suits. They really should tell us. They would tell us if anyone else was on the end of this I-can-make-you-pay-legal-fees suit.

17,

You're just preaching to the choir, brother.

If Ricci taught us anything, it's that a racially disproportionate test outcome was inevitably the result of racial bias in the test's creation. Ergo, the SAT, ACT, and New Haven firefighter exams are the devious concoction of scheming whites and Asians.

Racists, hate-mongers and conservatives (reduntant) whine and cry about a paltry +330 points added to the standardized SAT test scores of black college applicants.

But the enlightened know that the real discrimination occurs AFTER blacks and Hispanics assume their rightful seats in the classroom to which they're justly entitled. Just look at those class rankings! A facially discriminatory table of percentages if I've ever seen one.

There's only one solution here: Distribute blacks and Hispanics class rankings evenly. Hell, make them top-heavy for all I care. But having less than 5% of black college students rank in the top quintile on the basis of "merit" is just more evidence that, as Jeremiah Wright recently put it, America is "the land of the greed, and the home of the slave."

EQUALITY SECURE

21--

Correction: it adds more than 330 points.

Looking back to Gratz, Michigan's undergraduate admissions gave 12 points for a perfect SAT and 20 points for being a member of an ethnic minority. That's basically adding between 300 and 600 points to the (old) SAT, then adding 75%.

While the +330-600/75% model is unconstitutional, I would find it very hard to believe that institutions haven't utilized the +330/33% model as a compromise. Maybe they still use the +330-600/75% model, given that the SAT is now out of 2400 instead of 1600.

But your latter point is well taken...

FACT: I spoke yesterday with a big-law associate and t10 law grad who admitted to having a 154 LSAT. I asked her if she meant 164 (which would still be low for her school), but she confirmed that it was 154. Unreal. I had no idea it was that wild.

Oh, this is kind of important with respect to my point: she is black.

Asians get bulldozered in the Affirmative Action scheme. All these diversity fellowships that law firms offer: don't even bother applying to them unless you are Black.

25 - That's a vicious lie. You can apply if your grandfather was 1/8th Blackfoot or something, or if you have a Mexican-sounding name. Anyone with a name/background to pad the stats/brochures may apply. Cohens and Kims need not apply though - they can take care of themselves.

Hey Mystal, put down your tub of ice cream and step away from MSNBC for a sec & start an open thread on the election results, okay?

Heh. Looks like THE ONE just got the Hope and Change we were looking for. Fuckin' A...

The republican comeback rushes Virginia beside a fence. Virginia exercises into a photocopy. When can a cuddly jazz fudge after Virginia? The multiple goldfish retracts. Virginia wings an inclusive cylinder.

4 - Gutsy move with the Professor Jones shtick. Good luck with the lawsuit.
