They help us understand /the scale and speed /of the coronavirus crisis, but not much else. In particular, they don’t help us appreciate the ways /in which death has been unequally distributed across America, and how that has affected society’s response.

2月,非营利性组织“公平录取学生”向美国最高法院提起诉讼,挑战高校在录取招生中考虑种族因素的做法。此前,下级联邦法院裁决支持了哈佛大学的招生政策。最近,最高法院同意接手案件,将可能就高校是否能够通过考虑学生群体种族构成,来促进校园多元化问题上做出里程碑式的判决。

Nearly seven years ago, the nonprofit group Students forFairAdmissions (SFFA) brought suit against Harvard University, claiming that its admissions process illegally discriminates against Asian Americans. After protracted litigation in US District Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the case has now arrived where everyone always expected it to end up: at the doorstep of the Supreme Court.

大约七年前,非营利组织“学生公平招生”起诉哈佛大学,称其招生过程非法歧视亚裔美国人。在美国地方法院和第一巡回上诉法院进行了旷日持久的诉讼之后,这起案件终于迎来了大家一直期待的结局:起诉到了最高法院门口。

In a forceful petition, the plaintiffs are asking the justices to review the lower-court rulings, which accepted Harvard’s claim that its race-conscious admissions processpasses musterunder Supreme Court precedents — especially the 2003 case of Grutter v. Bollinger, which allowed the University of Michigan to take race into account in the interests of achieving “diversity.” But SFFA goes farther. It wants thecourtto overrule Grutter and ban the use of race in college admissions altogether.

The idea of race-blind admissions may beanathemato progressive activists, but it appeals to the great majority of Americans. The Pew Research Center found in 2019 that 73 percent of US adults believe that universities should not consider race or ethnicity when considering student applications. That belief holds across racial and ethnic categories: Majorities of white, Black, Asian, and Hispanic Americans all oppose the use of race as a factor in admissions.

进步人士可能很厌恶不考虑种族录取的想法,但这一想法吸引了绝大多数的美国人。皮尤研究中心在2019年发现,73%的美国成年人认为,大学在面对学生申请时不应该考虑种族或族裔。这种观点在各个种族和民族类别中都成立。大多数白人、黑人、亚裔和西班牙裔美国人都反对将种族作为招生的一个因素。

The “holistic” process whereby Harvard turns away academically accomplished Asian Americans today is a direct descendant of the process adopted to radicallycurtailthe number of Jewish students in the 1920s and 1930s.

今天,这个所谓“全面性”的招生方式——哈佛大学拒绝录取有学术成就的亚裔美国人,是上世纪二三十年代为大幅削减犹太学生人数而采取的招生方式的直接后果。

Explaining his proposal to deal with the “race problem” of too many qualified Jewish applicants, Harvard president A. Lawrence Lowell wrote in 1922: “We can reduce the number of Jews by talking about other qualifications than those of admissions examinations.”The stratagem succeeded atputting a ceiling onJewish admissions. Now it succeeds at holding down Asian American admissions.

哈佛大学校长A·劳伦斯·洛厄尔在1922年为解决合格的犹太申请者太多这一“种族问题”,提出了相应建议,他解释道:“我们可以通过考虑入学考试以外的其他资格条件来减少犹太人的数量。”这一策略成功地给犹太人的录取数量设置了上限。现在,它成功地限制了亚裔美国人的录取。
