[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree. I think efforts like undermines accomplishments of truly gifted URM kids and people like you. They can't escape "you got in because..." whether you are talking HS, college, or real life/career. It will always follow them and cast doubts on their true abilities. I am not sure MCPS's effort is truly helpful to URMs. [/quote] You seem to be saying, "We shouldn't work to increase the number of qualified people in a program who are black, brown, or poor, because that just encourages rich white people to believe that the black/brown/poor people don't deserve to be there." You didn't really mean to say that, did you? If I think, "I deserved to get into Yale but they didn't let me in because they gave my spot to some girl just because she's black!", it's not her responsibility to fix this racist thinking; it's mine.[/quote]
