[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly didn’t read the 1619 Project.  Learn some history.  Get over yourself.  Black people aren’t taking anything away from you.[/quote]
Huh? BLack kids with mediocre grades who get into college over better-scoring poor whites are indeed taking something away from those poor whotes: a chance to go to college and move out of a lower-class existence doe the rest of his life.

You need to at least admit that when black kids with a C average get into college over a white kid with a B average, they are indeed taking something away. You are not ENTITLED to affirmative action for generating after generation. The least you could do is say "thank you" to the white kids being displaced. [/quote]

It isn't a zero sum game. Every time a college was forced to stop discriminating against women, blacks, and other minority students, they increased the total enrollment so that they did not have to cut back on white male slots, and especially legacy slots. White kids are getting into the same schools they would have gotten into in the past.  [/quote]

While there are many things in this world that isn't a zero-sum game, such as the economy, world trade, and etc, college admissions is indeed one of those zero-sum games, where there is a fixed number of slots every year at better colleges and they get *far* more applicants than what they admit.
