"The Invisibility Of Whiteness"

Consider Brian Tamanaha's discussion of discrimination against Asian-Americans applying for admission to the nation's universities and colleges. "The only justification I can think of is this (put bluntly): America is a white society, so universities--the training ground for our next generation--must maintain a substantial white majority of students to properly acculturate our youth. If that's the explanation, universities should have the courage to state and defend it on these terms (which won't be easy)."
