Does anyone have text of Scalia remarks about blacks in elite colleges?

[grasswire]

CNN reported that Scalia wrote something about how AAs should attend the lower track schools rather than the elite one?

Does anyone have that?

At that point, Scalia jumped in, questioning whether increasing the number of African Americans at the flagship university in Austin was in the black students' best interests. He said:

There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well. One of the briefs pointed out that most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas. They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them.

He went on to say, "I'm just not impressed by the fact the University of Texas may have fewer (blacks). Maybe it ought to have fewer. I don't think it stands to reason that it's a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible."

5. I thought he said

That students who don't perform well enough to get into elite schools shouldn't be admitted, but I admittedly may have misread.

6. Wow!!! n/t

[TeddyR]

7. Perhaps you should read what he actually said

Instead of engaging in hyperbole. Or perhaps you prefer hyperbole to the truth

8. WOW!!!!! n/t

11. Good retort

9. Wait--the U of Texas is an 'elite' school?

[TexasTowelie]

13. It is a Tier I university

and automatic admission is only provided to the top 8% of high school graduates.

10. I think it's pretty clear that's not what he was saying

Like his comment about black scientists. He was speaking about black people in general terms, not addressing specifics of underperforming black kids getting in.

12. He was quoting a brief filed with the court

Or referencing one. So you claim he's racist because he referenced something someone else said?
