They are not poor as you depicted. So it was all about racial quota, nothing about helping the poor.

I didn’t depict anything about black peoples wealth. I definitely don’t think they’re any wealthier than any other race of students.

But are they poor? If not, why did they receive the special treatment?

How would people like it if some college said, “We require at least 95% white people! Oh we aren’t discriminating against black people really! We just want at least 95% white people.” Everyone would be outraged.

We should also avoid scenario 2. What’s clear amongst republicans is they want an outright reduction and make it near impossible for poor students and students of color to enter higher ed, at least the highest rungs of higher ed. They continue to sue schools who don’t have the type of diversity they want and continue to perpetuate the idea that black students are inherently worse applicants.

That is sheer BS. The only thing at issue is RACE-based discrimination (or favoritism). First-gen / low-income students are given aid based on their financial status, not race.

Sorry, but the color of your skin should not dictate the amount of aid or preference you get.

Thank you for not addressing my comment. There are currently many issues related to financial aid hurting the poor right now as we speak, particularly for professional school. But yeah, advocate for the poor while doing nothing but sitting on your ass and complaining about black people.

Wow, the chip on your shoulder must be visible from space - your victim complex certainly is.

I said nothing at all about black people - OTC, it’s YOU who is absolutely fixated on the color of people’s skin. You know what that’s called? Racism.

That is sheer BS. The only thing at issue is RACE-based discrimination (or favoritism).

Favoritism of who? Who's receiving all this favoritism? What group could you possibly be talking about? Myanmar-Americans? White-Descendants-of-Italians? The Iroquois? You totally didn't skirt around saying what you really meant by just saying race, right

You are utterly unhinged. I truly have no idea what you’re ranting about, and it’s pretty clear you don’t either.

Classic dcum. Suddenly nothing makes sense when it’s most convenient

My victim complex of not wanting poor students to be barred from going to med schools because they cant afford it without predatory loans? You are the one emphasizing race, dingbat.

I’ve said that race should not be a consideration at all. But trust you to twist that into something totally different. Low-income students are all races. Financial aid should be based on finances, not race.

And “predatory loans” are exactly why they should be limited. Why should anyone be able to borrow huge amounts that they’re never going to be able to pay back? Logic is clearly not your strong suit.

These med schools offer FREE tuition to any student bright enough to get in. Dingbat.

Predatory loans aren’t being limited though? You’re not understanding. Federal loan guarantees are being reduced so you have to either have wealthy parents or parents with good credit. There are students right now who are delaying med school until after the trump admin because these loan policies make it so poor students don’t go to college.

Also no, med schools don’t offer free tuition. It’s nothing like undergrad, and it is expected you take out a lot of debt. You are really unaware yet so brazenly confident, it’s disgusting.

Educate yourself.

No, you are flat-out making no sense. Ranting about “Myanmar-Americans,” etc?

Tell us: why do you think anyone should get race-based preferences? We’ll wait.

This is a pretty big dinner of a lot of the push for diversity over merit. You think these schools are woke? This is where a lot of it comes from

Really hope all this DEI crap goes away and we get back to merit/performance. I can’t read the article above.

Agree.

What race were you talking about getting preferences? This is why I don’t believe you’re confused. You know exactly what you said and now want to act like I’ve said something completely out of left field.

I asked you a question first. Why do you think ANYONE should get race-based preferences - black, white, Latino, Asian, whatever? But of course, you won't answer that and instead, try and obfuscate. It's ok, we all see you.

You mean indices that benefit privileged white dudes? Gotcha.

FWIW, holistic is about merit, but you have to view merit in context. Also, the inclusion of diversity factors benefits all students, enriching the learning environment. But reducing "merit " to the metric of a test that benefits the most privileged just speaks to the lengths that some will go to ensure the system is rigged for the wealthy.

Yer boy, T is the poster child for this.

Because no students (including white students) want to study in an environment that is overwhelmingly white or monoracial. Students (the consumers of the college product) WANT more racial/ethnic diversity. A college that can attract diverse student body is able to attract more students to matriculate there. They are in the sales business.

DP who just read back through this thread. You are a piece of work. You realize the people (implied because as PP pointed out, you won't say it outright) you complain as receiving "favoritism " are underrepresented on these campuses. Have you set foot on an Ivy League campus? They are largely white and Asian.

The kind of BS logic (or lack thereof) you out up is like written by someone with iq<70. I’m so glad Trump is tearing down these idiotic clowns who have been dreaming of running/ruining the world (god bless Trump won).
