[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear ya!! Try telling that to a college admissions board.

It was very frustrating when the black kids (with same privileges and upbringing) were able to get into colleges with only a 3.0 grade pt average and average SATs while those of us with 4.0+ did not.

I hope the point of this post was that these rules/a.action were designed to help the kids in the inner cities without $ and opportunity, but they don't.  Those kids still linger in the bad neighborhoods in bad public schools while the scholarships generally go to advantaged kids (of many ethnicities--not just AA).  Seeing kids in some of the most elite areas of society taking the advantages designed to help the downtrodden is I think what irks some.[/quote]
A boy in my sons HS class benefitted from numerous scholarships designed for AA students. He is a white kid born in South Africia. [b]He legitimately checked the AA box on the form. [/b][/quote]

Actually, he didn't. He is South African American, not African-American. [/quote]

Not the PP, but yes, this is legit. I have friends from Egypt who checked "African American" too. Maybe the box needs to be changed to black. Caucasian isn't an accurate description of white people either, so that's why "white" gets used more. [/quote]
