[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]speaking of agendas....

Why do you hate/resent African American professionals so much?

And do you have any evidence at all that their children are keeping *more qualified* first generation college African African students out of elite schools?  Seems highly unlikely.

Are you opposed to legacy preferences generally?[/quote]

No resentment here, I was just describing what you chose to ignore, driven by your obvious resentment against white students.

As for evidence, just look up this same thread, a few comments before ours:

1) "Overall, UC campuses are admitting more students from poor families than before the ban -- no surprise, perhaps, given demographic shifts and the system's post-Proposition 209 emphasis on reaching low-income students of all races. More than one third of the roughly 35,000 UC freshmen enrolled in 2010 came from families making less than $40,000, up from 28 percent in 1995. And even with record-high applications, the system's universities accepted 75 percent of all first-generation college students that year who applied."

2) And, white and Latino admission rates have kept steady, while AA have gone down

3) Do your math
