Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Readit NewsIf I invited a dozen guests to a party at my house and half of them objected to having #7 on the guest list because he's a shitbag, it would not bother me one bit to have him disinvited.
If, on the other hand, I myself were disinvited in such a manner, my first thought would be to reassess my recent behavior rather than suing the house owner.
Of course, when faced with a few loud complainers, you would never consider yourself to be right, and them wrong. You would recognize the folly of your ways, and the wisdom of the crowd that was right all along.

It seems what he wrote was accurate. What problem do you have with it, specifically?
Uhh... have you read his sexist and racist remarks online?

If one digs deeper, one sees that of the 25 university heads, 11 (44%) are Jewish (2% of the US). Meaning of the 25, only 12 (48%) are non-Jewish white (58% of the US) (NYT counted 13, but Jahanian is Iranian, which surely qualifies as a minority).
For the supreme court, 3 (33%) are Jewish, and 4 (44%) non-Jewish white.
Of the major news organization heads, 4 (27%) are Jewish, and 53% non-Jewish white.
Of the top TV and Hollywood heads, 7 (28%) are Jewish, and 60% non-Jewish white.
So it turns out, looking at only non-Jewish whites, they're more often than not under-represented.

Surprisingly nativist rhetoric coming from the Guardian.

Tangential, but this is highly misleading. Jewish students are still over 5x over-represented, and non-Jewish white students are 0.6x under-represented, according to Harvard's own diversity report and polling done by Jewish organizations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23764422
Here is the problem with that logic. To say now in 2020 that the school should be colorblind does nothing to address the systemic racism that existed for hundreds of years. Princeton did not accept black students until after WWII[1], so several generations of blacks were denied entrance, despite being academically qualified. Their children and grandchildren are therefore denied the benefits of legacy admission (which currently runs at about 30% acceptance vs 5.8% for regular applicants[2]). In this example being colorblind still hurts some students (or helps others, if you see it that way) solely based on the color of their skin.
