[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they have to change the exam? They can just lower the cutoff scores for Blacks and Latinos. [/quote]

But...but...but...how will that benefit the Whites?   I mean, all this talk of helping Blacks and Latinos is just a ruse to help more Whites get in.[/quote]

Whites don't need extra help. There are plenty of smart white kids around. Plenty... [/quote]

There are also plenty of smart black and Latino kids around. There are plenty of smart kids, period.[/quote]

Then I guess they don't need to change the exam, right? [/quote]

That doesn't follow logically at all.[/quote]

Really? Well, if there are plenty of smart kids from all races, then the exam should not be changed. The top ranked candidates should be offered the seat regardless of their skin color.

If you think HHI plays a role then, you also give a scholarship to kids who qualify.

Else, admit that there is discrimination against Asians by Whites.
