Here is the POV I am talking about.

What’s the point?

As I suspected. Too dumb to even realize how far behind America has fallen.

This is directed at all races, if the US isn’t good enough for you, why are you even here? You could move somewhere else, somewhere better esp if you you have so many great qualities to offer.

And interestingly, the US has only ‘fallen’ since we began accepting people from every village in the world, that’s precisely when we began to lag behind the rest.

Since the beginning of the nation?

DP. I don't think there is a causation there, but it's true that immigration has skyrocketed over the past few decades.

What is the cause of the decline in quality US education? I am so curious. It correlates with increased immigration during the later 20th century, no?

It’s caused by the affirmative action, watering down the quality of everything so that the more “preferred race” can be selected.

Try again. The largest shift in demographics due to AA was the significant increase in enrollment for women. URMs are still...underrepresented.

"underrepresented"? that's a liberal/fascist word, not a human language

No, it's a numbers thing. URMs are not watering down the quality of anything because they aren't there.

Kids were dumbed down to accommodate more and more URMs. How hard is it to understand? Are you saying URM numbers were down since the affirmative action?

It has got to a point college admission is 'test optional' WTF

Yes and interestingly it has been show that those "tests" have a racial bias and also hurt the lower income students (no matter what race they are). So schools have chosen to use other/better methods for determining admission. Nothing new there. Been moving towards that for 1-2 decades for some schools.

Tests are far better for intelligent, poor students than any of the "holistic" methods which are much more strictly wealth-gated. Smart poor kids have a much smaller shot at making a non-profit, interning at a top company, winning a top science fair competition or, or having a great essay ghostwritten for them.

If I was the rich parent of a kid with mediocre smarts/work ethic, I'd much rather prefer a test-optional admissions process than one which looks at test scores.

I was a poor kid with uninvolved parents who greatly benefitted from standardized tests. It’s no exaggeration to say that my life is completely different than if I hadn’t been able to demonstrate aptitude through testing. I think test optional is great but don’t like test blind at all. I hate to think of kids with chaotic lives that affect their grades/extra-curriculars not having a chance to show they are bright with standardized tests.

yea math is really biased toward intelligent people
so they use essays that you don't even know who the F actaully wrote it

DP: See the documented literature on stereotype threat--hundreds of studies since the 1990s confirm. When a marginalized group (like Black Americans) are told a test assesses intellectual ability, they perform lower on the test. If they are told the exact same test measures effort, or learning style or something like that, they perform higher. Conversely if White or Asian-Americans perform higher on tests they are told measure intellectual ability, but lower on the same test if they are told it measures something else. The initial U of M study (Aronson & Steele) found that this difference was substantial enough to explain race-based differences in test scores of admitted students to UofM. It has since been shown to impact performance of many types of all races when a stereotype is "triggered" (e.g., White men jump lower when they are first shown images of Black basketball players than when they are just asked to jump as high as they can, women score better on spatial tests when they are not told they are tests of "mechanical aptitude" than when they are). Stereotypes that are generated over many years in subtle and not so subtle ways get triggered by tests and affect performance, especially when they are high-stakes.

Agreed. The group that most benefited from keeping Asian Americans out of college have been whites. They can't compete with Asian-American kids. Earlier they were lagging behind in Math but lately they are lagging behind in English and liberal arts too.

How does this benefit Asian Americans? I think we can no longer be told that we have to give way to URM. The deception of giving our seats to low performing whites will not work anymore.

My take-away has been that the rich class or anyone else who are full pay are going to be ok.

we will see how this pans out.

Provide the link to this study. I won't surprised if you intentionally misinterpreted it.

So these tests were created by Whites.
It's biased against Blacks, but towards Asians.
Yea right GTFOH

Most recent MIT research shows SAT/ACT is a great tool in predicting who would be successful in colleges.


So it's biased against

What are you implying? Asians are cheaters? Do you want to see the news links of district wide cheating scandals of blacks? That’s exactly the problem, Affirmation Action has created this problem in US that race being the first and most important identity of an individual. There are good and bad in every race, we don’t need to constantly remind and reinforce the stereotypes.

So these are international foreign students.
Asian Americans are all for limiting and closely controlling international students.

What part of this opinion touched on alumni? Is not being legacy a protected class now?

More whatabouttism. This was about racism but the racist posters can't stop bringing up legacy and athletic admissions. News flash: NOBODY CARES! This was about a racist policy not about a totally separate legacy issue. If you want to take that up then start your own thread about that and quit the stupid whatabboutism. Must be AA beneficiaries starting this stupid tangent

You all are exhausting. People who support AA are not necessarily racist. Colleges who want a diverse student body are not inherently racist. We all now there is no law against ALDC preference, but if you are concerned about fairness and transparency in college admissions, then you should not just be against AA, you should also be against ALDC admissions. Makes it seem as though you are only upset when minorities get admitted for some reason.....
