[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how fervently people are against AA but not athletic recruiting and legacy admissions. So if rich white legacies and athletes are stealing you kid's spot its ok, but if the person is Black or Hispanic, that's a no go? [/quote] Is it so strange that some people perceive racial discrimination as a worse evil than garden-variety favoritism on other grounds? I would expect that to be a relatively common point of view. And no one would suggest it was not racial discrimination if Black applicants were being held to higher objective criteria, such as grades and test scores, to have a reasonable chance of admissions relative to other racial groups. Particularly if some sort of subjective “personality factor” was driving that outcome. [/quote]
