[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millionth time:

Colleges seeking racial balance in admissions is not affirmative action.

That’s not why they do it. Read the above sentence many times and get it through your thick skulls.

They do it so they can build the class they want more readily. You don’t have to take my word for it call any college admissions office and talk to them about it. And yes someone there will talk to you. But you won’t do that because it will conflict with the narrative you’ve already committed to.

You are free to debate the efficacy and appropriateness of affirmative action but that discussion has nothing to do with college admissions. Nothing.[/quote]

Abbott Lowell was also very concerned about what you call "racial balance" in admissions: "The anti-Semitic feeling among the students is increasing, and it grows in proportion to the increase in the number of Jews. If their number should become 40% of the student body, the race feeling would become intense."

You can call it what you want to make yourself feel better. It's just racism, though.[/quote]
