[quote=Anonymous]It worries me that the troubles at Yale are now leading to folks on this thread attacking affirmative action, and assuming all the black students at Yale are their because of their URM status and no other skills and abilities.  Say what you want about this Yale student, but racism still permeates this board and every aspect of our society.  My middle class, well-behaved  black son gets pulled over by police to "check" his driver's license and registration, is questioned when coming out of a 7-11 and asked if he is loitering, is asked what his test scores are
and is frequently asked what sport he plays when he says he goes to a Big 3 school. etc.  When he rides the metro at night, white people move away from him.  We have had to go to battle with the schools to put  him the upper level classes where he gets As.  I could go on and on.  White people who assume if you are not poor you have experienced "equal" treatment if you are black are really misinformed.  The only good that comes out of this is that most black kids who are successful are hardened realists, not the kids who complain about pc language, and avoiding "painful" words in law school.  They have every right to expect to feel safe and comfortable on college campuses.[/quote]
