[quote=Anonymous]If schools should be race blind, why not be gender blind too? I suspect people will chime in on why these are completely different concepts, when the reality is that having gender blind admissions would disadvantage those posters, so they are against it. For the record, I would be fine with removing race targets because I think it falsely reassures people that they are in a “diverse” setting when those settings are socioeconomically and ideologically / values-wise not at all diverse. I think it’s fine if people want to be around people pretty much just like them (do what you want with your money and privilege!) but it does annoy me that they pretend to care so much about diversity etc. The vast majority of parents care only about what’s best for their kid, without regard to others/society. I don’t think that’s the case in all countries but it is the case in the US. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is. [/quote]
