Do you believe black and Hispanic children should have a lower threshold (grades and lower test scores) to college entry than a white person or Asian person? Yes or no[/quote]

I think children from disadvantaged backgrounds, regardless of color, should not be denied entrance to a college because they have lacked the same opportunities of others. I do think that colleges should consider these factors.

Do I think this is fair? I don't think that question is relevant. You might as we'll ask me if it is salty. There are no objective, hard requirements for entrance to the Ivy League, and no guarantee of admission, so the notion that you are being "denied" something you have "earned" is completely wrongheaded.
 
I also think it is complete and utter horseshit that upper income parents are blaming black and Hispanic kids for "denying" their snowflakes something to which they feel entitled. How come no ones panties are in a knot when athletes get into the Ivy League with lower grades and scores? Or when the children of the rich and famous get in with lower scores? That kind of "unfairness" seems to get a pass, yet I suspect it happens far more frequently.[/quote]
