#2 So, how's the business of making silk purses out of sow's ears works out?

#3 Here's how it's working out:

"Under-represented" minorities - which does not apply to Asians - are so sparsely represented among qualified applicants that highly selective US universities fill their de facto quotas (not fewer than 20% of entering students must be afr-amer & hispanic) with fakes.

The vast majority of afr-amers admitted are either upper middle-class and biracial, like Booker or Obama, or else children of wealthy Nigerian, other African, or West Indian doctors or PhDs, like Kamala Harris's dad.

So the affirmative action program itself is a fraud. It has nothing to do with "leveling the playing field" to offset the harm done to the descendants of American slaves. It's just an upper middle-class subsidy disguised as yet more virtue signaling.

Next, these upper middle-class beneficiaries of aff action often cannot compete as equals after they get admitted. Their dropout rates are usually many points higher than dropout rates for whites and Asians; their graduate school admissions test scores are far lower on average; and they heavily incline toward BS "studies" majors and shy away from rigorous majors.

Finally, the collapse of this model occurs at the graduate school level, where the aff action admits cluster at the bottom of the law school or med school class. At this point, they have to start competing as equals, and they fail in truly impressive numbers. They fail again in far higher than average numbers when it's time to pass professional certification tests, and they fail when they're starting out as lawyers or doctors.

The above is an almost perfect description of Obama's shambolic failed career as a lawyer. Even his signature "achievement" - winning a popularity contest among his classmates to be elected to a non-merit based Harvard Law Review editor spot - was bogus.

The guy couldn't produce a single article. He can't write at all. He lacks the brainpower to do the work. He is your poster child for aff action: all virtue signaling and "creased pants," and no substance.

He was recruited at an early age. The items mentioned above were simply notional entries (pocket litter) for future missions and assignments. John Brennan has additional details.
