To the 1 or 2 black apologists on this thread f u stupid racist bs

Take the average AP SAT scores and SAT II scores of 250 of 300 AA admitted. You can easily find thousands of whites and asians with higher net averages easily

Any y'all are fixated on the 2% over-representation of black Americans?

No wonder your kids won't get into Harvard. You lack basic reasoning skills.

Do I really need to break this out to you

We are talking about one of the best schools in the country which should have the best students in the country attending not proportional representation

Bet you are a liberal

Who are you to say these are not among the best students in the country? Did you sit on the admissions committee?

Anyone who thinks there is a quantitative way to pick the 1000 indisputably very best students in the country, no ifs ands or buts about the list, is someone who definitely did not get a very rigorous education.

Well, for one thing, we aren't yet at a country where people are only judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Maybe some day, but racial disparities in the way people are treated in all sorts of situations still exist, as countless studies continue to show.

I don't think he was ever in charge of college admissions, so there's that. Also, lol to race blind job applications. I'm so done listening to white people whine about efforts to level the playing field in a system that they rigged for centuries, and expect us to think you've done your due diligence in a single generation. Done. My mother couldn't drink at the same water fountains as some of you fools. I'm under 30. It hasn't been long enough for you to pat your selves on the back and called it square.

There is still a massive discrepancy in the quality of education and enrichment that many minority children have access to compared to your lily white snowflakes. So sorry to break it to you, but the black kid you think stole your kid's seat because he scored 100 points lower? That kid is a fighter. He ran the same race as your kid, except he had a handicap, and your kid had wheels, and in the end your kid barely beat him. Yes he deserves the spot. That black kid has the abilities coupled with a drive to change the world. He'll give back to his community and to the university. Your kid may do that same things, but white men have always had their chance. It's time for everyone else to have theirs too.

I agree.

I know right? It's like they are driven absolutely insane at the idea that other experiences they don't have access to could be considered valuable. White fragility is powerful.

Haha......my daughter asked the same thing. She was hoping there was a native american great grandmother somewhere in our past.

My mom recently did a DNA test and the results showed she was majorly Hispanic. A huge surprise bc she grew up believing her ancestors were French. Maybe my DD will choose to check the Hispanic box on her college applications.

Or you could choose to move to rural Mississippi. Then she'd have a great shot at getting into elite colleges if she is a stellar student. Are you willing to do that for your kid?

There are easily 3000 white and Asian students across the country who are better than 250 of the 300 black students at Harvard and deserve a spot over them

Define "better." And did those 3000 white / Asian students actually apply? If not perhaps that is an indication they did not have the interest. Maybe they preferred to go to a different school. Maybe they're not all that motivated or ambitious.

Why would they have to lower the standards? Your premise that minorities applying to Harvard are less academic vs white is not backed up by the facts.
