[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am mixed on the issue. On one hand, I definitely see their point. On the other side, what happens to [b]African Americans and Hispanics who get bonus points to their score for their minority status.[/b] Do you change the criteria for universities to allow one group to have more students, Asians, knowing the ruling would really harm another minority group, African American and Hispanic. [/quote] That's something that I think hurts everyone. I guess the question is, at what point do we assess a person on their merit rather than on the color of their skin, whether for good or bad? If you are talking about SES, low income vs. upper income, I might agree with you. But, I don't see how giving an upper income Black/Hispanic student extra point just for the color of their skin when there are poor white/Asian students who don't have a fraction of the advantages the wealthy Black/Hispanic student has as being fair.[/quote]
