Grow up and at least admit the reality smacking you in the face.

Any black student, Latino/Latina student, or Native American student within a football field of a 1590 SAT score would receive full tuition offers from every elite school in the country. That is a fact.

You can think the disparity in standards is good policy, or morally or historically appropriate, whatever. But let’s at least acknowledge reality. [/quote]

Some schools are test blind now.

They do not takes scores into account.

Your accept the reality of that fact. [/quote]

Yes. Some schools went test blind in a frantic effort to somehow promote underachieving, less capable blacks and Hispanics without flagrantly violating the Constitution.

What’s your point? All I asked was that we acknowledge the reality: less capable, lower achieving POC are subject to drastically lower standards than Asians and whites.

I frankly don’t care very much. I went to elite schools, I’m rich, and my kids will check both of those boxes as well. What I can’t stand is the incessant, utterly transparent refusal to acknowledge obvious facts. If you need to lie about basic reality, I tend to think everything else you’re peddling is complete BS.

What?

I do like that you’re modeling how low standards translate into the real world. You keep at it though, don’t let anyone try ‘n tell you how to conversate![/quote]
