Why it’s important for Students for Fair Admissions to win its discrimination case against Harvard
Racial representation’s ultimate sin is that it dehumanizes. When Harvard rejects some Asians because they are already “represented” by other Asians, in order to admit some blacks to “represent” other blacks, it collapses these students to their skin colors. The phrase “people who look like me”—which one hears so often these days—is profoundly reductionist, implying that all blacks look alike, that all Asians look alike, and more essentially, that they are alike. This is racism.
