[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the suggestion that race based affirmative action should be re-tasked to favor lower- income applicants regardless of race. [/quote] IMO, that's probably not going to happen. If race based affirmative action was replaced by SES affirmative action, the number of minority kids in top schools would plummet. There are many more poor whites than poor blacks and Hispanics, and poor whites score significantly higher on entrance exams than poor URM. [/quote] "poor whites score significantly higher on entrance exams than poor URM." I don't think that is true, but if it is - what is the justification for denying the higher scoring poor whites the opportunity just because they are white?[/quote]
