[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flood of white tears in this thread is amazing. Of all the problems minority kids face today, this is what you guys cry about.

The disdain for white folks in this thread, who lose college seats to those less qualified, is amazing. I wonder if the bigota going on about "white trash" are black?

And being kept out of med school, a lifelong dream, so that a lesser scoring minority gets in instead of you is a big deal. [/quote]

Why is med school your lifelong dream?    Do you hope to help heal the sick, and reduce the suffering in the world?      There are many other professions where you can do this, and not worry about the limited number of spots.    You could be a nurse, or a physician's assistant.     Or go into medical research, and maybe get a PhD, help find cures for some of these diseases.

Or is med school your lifelong dream because you want to make a lot of money?[/quote]
1) If making a lot of money was my dream, I'd be an overpaid lawyer - like many on DCUM. Med school is much tougher than law school.

2) I'm not talking about myself.[b] I'm talking about a white person who has dreamed of med school his entire life, earned nearly all As, and found himself displaced by a black kid with a B average because.....he's black.[/b]

3) And why should the more academically accomplished white student have to dial back his dream, and instead become a PA or nurse, so a black stident with lower grades can get HIS dream of med school? Why aren't you asking why the lower-scoring black student adjust HIS goals and become a PA? Why should the white kid make the sacrifice when he is the better student? [/quote]

In your fantasy world. You all make sh1t up 24x7.  :roll:

Don't tell me that you are unaware that [b]white kids with 3.8 GPA are rejected from the very same institutions that accept black kids with a 3.2[/b]. Apaprently, you don't like the truth, so you claim it's made-up sh!t.

You leftists demand  the continuation of AA policies that involve significantly lower admission stamdards for black kids, and then want to deny that black kids are getting in as a result of racial preferences. You can't have it both ways. [/quote]

My point was that you made up that particular scenario. It's fiction. That is not something that [i]actually[/i] happened to someone you know. It's all in your head.

First, let's talk about the earlier example [u]that you made up[/u].

1) Med school admissions is crazy competitive. "Nearly all As" isn't quite good enough for some schools. It was far more likely that he was NOT displaced by anyone. He just didn't make the cut. 
2) Let's say you do actually know a kid who applied for med school -- how far into the process did he get? How many interviews did he get? 
3) How do you know the GPA for the URM kids who were accepted into those schools? Why do you think they have a "B average"? 
4) Why do you think it was a black person vs. another URM?

And then let's talk about this new scenario [u]that you just made up[/u]. 
5) Now you are comparing a 3.8 vs. 3.2. Why are you changing the details now?

BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FACTS. You are just making up scenarios to support your argument.

Stop the BS and come back with facts if you are trying to make up a point.
