[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear ya!! Try telling that to a college admissions board. It was very frustrating when the black kids (with same privileges and upbringing) were able to get into colleges with only a 3.0 grade pt average and average SATs while those of us with 4.0+ did not. [/quote] I hope the point of this post was that these rules/a.action were designed to help the kids in the inner cities without $ and opportunity, but they don't. Those kids still linger in the bad neighborhoods in bad public schools while the scholarships generally go to advantaged kids (of many ethnicities--not just AA). Seeing kids in some of the most elite areas of society taking the advantages designed to help the downtrodden is I think what irks some.[/quote] A boy in my sons HS class benefitted from numerous scholarships designed for AA students. He is a white kid born in South Africia. He legitimately checked the AA box on the form. [/quote]
