I’m sorry— are you saying we need quotas for white students now?[/quote]

No. Im saying that a sensible system that accounts for historical disadvantage would produce demographics that resemble the population as a whole.

In a system like that it would be easier to use Naviance data and placement within peer groups locally to identify a good mix of schools to which to apply. Under the system as it is this year, it’s not. Which is why there are a lot of kids with very surprising outcomes.[/quote]
You realize the URMs are STILL underrepresented in US colleges right now, right?  By your logic, they need to do MORE, not less

Your grievance with one tiny, tiny California school really doesn’t outweigh centuries of systemic racism and oppression.

By the way, my (white) son goes to a difference Claremont school, and he knows literally every Black freshman student because there are so few.  [/quote]
