In addition, in those four Yale medical school classes, legacy admissions (which grant preferential treatment to the children of alumni) are estimated to be roughly 11–12% of the cohort (approx. 45–50 students).
This group is predominantly White and highly affluent, with 34% hailing from the top 1% of income earners.
The reason these conversations— which are supposedly about bringing back MERIT-based admissions—never bother about legacy admissions, which inherently function as a form of AFFIRMATIVE action for the ultra affluent, is because the debate is less about safeguarding an objective standard of merit and more about maintaining existing racial and class hierarchies.
Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes.
Total Black students: 44. That’s ~10 per class.
Total Asian students: 157. That’s ~40 per class.
There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school.
Black: 14% of America. Only 7% of Yale Med
Asian: 7% of America. 28% of Yale Med.
Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ?

Getting older is crazy. One wrong pillow angle and your neck is disabled for the entire week.

The vice president just told us we should all be ok with ‘edgy’ jokes from Republicans about gas chambers but you’re hyperventilating about a cholesterol joke?

Sorry, but "I don't think people like you should have any rights and I would prefer it if you didn't even exist. Debate me." is not a call for a calm, rational, reasoned debate.

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.
