How does it help minorities? It helps people whose scores are middling and hurts people whose scores are great.

The trick of it, my good man, is this. There is one fewer class of applicants the blacks and hispanics have to compete against. Previously, there actually were geeks that shined with scores well over the 75th percentile. Now, they are just part of the league of identical asian and white boys that can be passed aside for legacies, athletes, donors, and, ahem, blacks and hispanics.
