White supremacy is an ugly thing.[/quote]

If you haven't been paying attention the last 30+ years, it's not about white people.   The Asians are the ones getting shafted.  [/quote]Not true in the UC system. UC Berkeley is 36% Asian, 22% White.[/quote]

And if Berkeley was "race blind" in their admissions, do you think it would be more than 36% Asian?   A qualified student should not be denied admission because of their race, in favor of a less qualified student of a different ("under represented" race.)

This is why AOs reject certain kids.  Once they discovered that their parents are racist, they predict that the apple does not fall far from the tree.  It is a racist trope to assume that  the URM student is less qualified.  In many cases they are more qualified.   Please take your racism and fragility someone else because you do not speak for Asians.   Also, it is most definitely white supremacist ideology which bemoans the 2-3% of URM students that are attending these predominately wealthy and white institutions.

For all this talk about URMs, the majority of top universities in the United States are overwhelmingly white and wealthy.  URMs are not even 10% or in most cases 5% of the student population, however you will not attack the admission of less qualified legacy and athletic students because as long as they are white it is okay.[/quote]
