[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an Ivy grad and I'm uncomfortable with policies that explicitly limit acceptances based on racial identification. I'm equally uncomfortable with policies that explicitly privilege admissions based on racial identification.

My children are half Caucasian, half non-Caucasian. If the other half is Latino or African-American, they get a leg up. If it is Asian, they get discriminated against. Seems wildly un-American to me. [/quote]

Would it be more American to have the Elite colleges consist of 50 percent Asians, 48 percent whites, and two percent combo of AA and Hispanics?  In a country that looks nothing like that?[/quote]

[b]If that's who gets in by merit then yes.[/b][/quote]Without insinuating malice, whites will throw major hissy fits and head straight for the courts if Asians take over the majority of spaces in all universities.  This would significantly displace white applicants without exception, and whites aren't going to stand for it.  It's okay to take the spaces of other minorities but if it meant they would lose a majority of spaces, it goes to the courts.

All of this talk about whoever gets in by merit is fine UNTIL it deeply impacts white applicants.  Wait and see........ [/quote]
