[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it is sour grapes exactly. We really don't know exactly what they take into consideration and seeing as how colleges take race into consideration thinking that it might play a role here isn't completely unreasonable.[/quote] PP, for what it's worth, the item #25 the PP at 14:41 refers to is "When college acceptance letters came out, people started whispering..."People shouldn't be able to get into college just because they are black".[/quote] Agreed. By definition, when schools start looking at factors other than test results, the groups that tend to perform better at objective, quantified criteria, will suffer. This is how historically Jewish and Asian students have been discriminated against, either in favor of mainstream whites or AAs. This is a fact, which we may justify as a means to broader society objectives, but we cannot ignore.[/quote]
