[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cal tech admissions model for all schools. [/quote]

Cal Tech is 29% whites,  41% Asian and 16% URM.

MIT is 35% white, 26% Asian, and 20% URM.

All the white people clebrating this need to take a minute and realize that if college admissions were truly race blind, there would be fewer whites and fewer URMs, and a lot more Asians.  Right now, Asians are the group that takes a hit on college admissions, not whites.  And both of the big lawsuits out there on race based admissions are brought by Asian Americans-- not whites.

[b]Bingo. This is what many people are not getting. [/b]The affirmative action takes from Asians and gives it to Whites, Blacks and Hispanics. I am of Asian origin and honestly the really good asian students get through to top public schools like Berkley, UNC, UVA, Michigan etc EVEN IF they are rejected admission to Ivies. They do just fine in the end.

So I am for AA but it should be based on Socio-Economic factors with income as a big factor.

No. What you are not getting is that many people oppose race-based preferences in admissions for principled reasons - regardless of whether Asian Americans or anyone else might benefit most from their removal. [/quote]

You didn't read my last sentence. Without Affirmative action many blacks and hispanics coming from disadvantaged background will never move up. College is ONLY one aspect of life NOT ALL for the wealthy and upper middle class. [b]Students coming from a high social class get to where they want regardless of which college they go to. Thats not the case for many blacks if they never get to college and finish college because they get sucked right back into the gloom of their neighborhood. [/b][/quote]
