[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one question - why do people on here always single out Blacks for everything?

On one hand, you lecture us about doing waht we need to do to improve our communities - including increasing college matriculation.  Then as those numbers have increased, we get crap like this.  What is this damn obsession with the opportunities that some Blacks are getting?[/quote]

The issue is not with Blacks attending colleges. All students wishing to attend colleges should be able to attend. The issue is some groups are discriminated on the basis of race in college admissions. I think you would understand if the situation was reversed and blacks were currently discriminated against on the basis of race in college admissions. You would find that unacceptable for blacks.[/quote]

If the situation was reversed would my black child receive the [b]advantages and privileges that[/b] white and [b]Asian children receive at every step of the way in the educational process[/b], before and after college admissions?[/quote]

Asian children DO NOT receive advantages and privileges in educational process. In fact, many Asian students have to learn a new language, deal with the fact that often there are very few Asian students in their schools whether elementary, middle or high school. Isn't this what many black students complain about? Asian students have to suffer this from elementary school to even colleges since NO ONE even cares that Asians have too few peers around. Asians suffer in silence too often. College admissions may be the issue that may finally be the last straw.

Not only that but they have to put in super effort to achieve academic success that are almost impossible only to be told that they are not welcome at the selective colleges since they are not legacies or URMs-because they are of the wrong race. I hope you can see why this picture is very disappointing to Asian applicants especially if they are middle or lower class with limited options besides academics. [/quote]
