[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were a legacy or big donor kid, legacy/donor admissions would make me really question my worth. Every other admissions category comes with a personal challenge and merit. Athletes are exceptionally hard workers (I’m not one btw, but do not understand the unhinged DCUM haters). First-gen did not have the family assistance. URM [b]have faced racism.[/b] But legacy and donor kids did literally nothing to merit their admissions. It had to mess with their heads. They must know they are only there because of pure luck. Idk. I can’t understand why people want that for their kids. [/quote]

Hahaha. Hahaha. So precious. The classic [b]disparity proves discrimination[/b] trope. [/quote]

You do not think URM face racism in the US? Well, that’s a bold take. [/quote]

I dare you to prove that [b]systemic racism[/b] is what is keeping minorities down in this country, without simply asserting that whenever you see disparity between majority and URM , it proves that URMs are discriminated against.[b] A random bigoted person on the street shouting a racist slur[/b] at me is not what is keeping me down[/quote]
A random bigoted person on the street shouting a racial slur at you is not the same thing as systemic racism. [/quote]
I know genius. Casual racism exists but is inconsequential to your life's outcomes is my point  :roll: [/quote]
