Abstract
The Supreme Court is poised to ban affirmative action in college admissions. So we asked the question: Do colorblind admissions = racially neutral admissions? In a society where race/ism pervades so many aspects of our private and public lives, the unavoidable answer is: No.
To unpack this insight, we explore how numerous colorblind considerations in Harvard's admissions process function as a race/class bonus for wealthy white applicants. Legacy preferences form a part of this story, but that's just the beginning.
