[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF slavery has to do with admission to colleges for kids born in the 21st century.

I know you wouldn't know.  Enjoy your ignorance.[/quote]

Yea right some kids born in 2005 should be sacrificed for your kids because of slavery.

[b]Racial policies in college admission have nothing to do with slavery, reparations or guilt[/b].

Racial policies in college admissions exist so colleges can build the classes THEY WANT based on criteria THEY SELECT.  End period.

Which they are free to do with any criteria as long as they don't break the law.  And yes that means they can take an athlete with lower SAT scores, or a talented singer, or a civic leader, or the son of a donor, or yes, someone of an under-represented race.

Don't take my word for it.  Ask one college administrator, then another.  Just f-king ask them why they have the policy.  They'll tell you, in detail.  [b]But you won't ask them, because you don't want the answer[/b].

[b]All races benefit from this policy where they are under-represented.  This includes asians at top LACs [/b]and whites at Howard.  You people don't know what you are talking about.  You don't understand and you don't want to.  You just want to talk about the lucky minorities and how they are oppressing you.  It is pathetic.[/quote]

Asians are not URM at top SLACs. Maybe 20+ yrs ago fewer Asians had heard of them and were applying. Not true if you look at #s today (someone posted them upthread).[/quote]
