The vast majority of spots at competitive colleges will go to white kids. They will continue on their easy path of upward mobility. Why are you so focused on the handful of spots that go to URMs? What about other spots at those colleges that go to other kids with lesser grades? Don't hear you complaining once about them.

+1     I recently talked to a white acquaintance who said her 13 year old daughter is interested in going to medical school, but "she probably won't get in because affirmative action will give all the spots to blacks".       She has her excuses ready 10 years in advance!     &lt;sarcasm&gt; After all, affirmative action is the only possible reason why she couldn't get in medical school &lt;\sarcasm&gt;

No, your acquaintance probably read the AAMC charts that showed how difficult it is for whites to get in. (And if she's Asian, it's even worse.) It's actually quite discouraging to see how blacks with a B average get into medical school and whites with an A- average have to kiss their dream of becoming a doctor goodbye - unless they go to some crap Caribbean school.

When I meet a white doctor who recently graduated, I know how smart he must be. He had all the odds stacked against him, and still he made it.  [/quote]

You are sooo full of shit. The number of black medical students has decreased significantly b/c black kids aren't interested. If whites aren't getting in, it isn't because of black students.[/quote]
You are sooo ignorant. Take a look at the AAMC charts, and you'll see how med schools bend over backwards to let in black kids and demand the top, top, top from whites.[/quote]

7% of medical students are black.  We are really taking away those slots![/quote]
