[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Systematically denigrating the achievements of white and Asian kids who work their butts off in order to benefit black and Hispanic kids from relatively privileged backgrounds elevates politics over merit. [/quote]

Who is denigrating the achievements of white and Asian kids???

The only kids that are denigrated in the US are Blacks.  They are murdered and slaughtered shot to death by our leaders and police at a horrendous rate...the ultimate denigration and the police (all white) go scott free with their pensions and salaries.[/quote]

It's absolutely denigrating the achievements of white and Asian kids when less qualified black and Hispanic students are selected instead in the name of "diversity."  In essence, they are penalized for the alleged sins of others, while less qualified black and Hsipanic students (often those who are higher SES, not the poor) receive an undeserved boost.

If you think the only kids disadvantaged in any way are black youths, due to police violence, the answer is to reform the police departments, not give black kids an advantage they don't deserve when applying to elite universities.

You, my friend, are an arrogant jerk.  You declare these students to be less qualified and have no idea about their entire application, situation, struggles, etc.  Based on what, SAT scores?  A multiple choice test of algebra and geometry that you can take as many times as you want and prep for is how you define superiority?  You and your ilk put way too much value on these scores.  The schools may use them as a blunt instrument, but they are by no means indicative of success by themselves. [/quote]
