A black harvard degree is, at least in your mind, somehow less legitimate or more suspicious than a white harvard degree. Those nefarious blacks are the preferred children of the state....and deserving whites are being cast to the wayside on the altar of political correctness and diversity.
Or..you know...literally none of that is happening. 50/50.
If you want to find suspicious or "illegitimate" harvard degrees....you'd probably want to start your search in the white demo with legacy students.
Is an "also ran" trophy less valuable than a hard-run 1st-place? Of course. I'll say it straight-up: if there were no race-based balancing policies at the entrance level, the value attributed to minority-race holders of ivy-league degrees would be very much higher. How and why would it be otherwise?
As for worrying about white people-- no, that's not what we're talking about. As I said before, if America is going to survive against more homogeneous superpowers like Russia and China, it's going to have to fire on all cylinders. That means getting every citizen to reach as close to their potential as possible. Leaving the next Einstein on a street corner because he's black, or failing to get a kid to the point where he could even be recognized as such because his educational opportunities pre-elementary were too severely limited (remember our discussion about heritability), would be a fatal mistake. (and, just to be clear here, I think America is so fucking backward and broken that it will be in our lifetimes that it is replaced as the world's top anything)
