[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should sue and he should win. These kids work their tails off and then they are rejected because of race. It's outrageous.[/quote]

Says who? Prove that. Show empirically that those schools chose someone else instead of this guy because of race. Berkeley? You seen the student population of Berkeley? You think Asians are being rejected from Berkeley because they are Asian? Are we serious right now?[/quote]

Yeah, I know.  I believe Berkeley is 50% Asian if you include internationals but the kid didn't get admitted because one of the 3% of blacks took his spot...  Unfortunately, the likes of white supremacists are loving that minorities are being pitted against minorities (divide and conquer) despite the fact that the vast majority of spots at these schools are reserved for ALDCs.  You look at the athletes on the rosters of these schools and they are disproportionately white (you will only see black faces on the basketball and football teams, and these the numbers are minuscule when you consider all the other sports like lacrosse, fencing, swimming, crew, soccer, baseball, squash, tennis, etc.).   All these people have no problem cheering on their black athletes on the basketball/football teams (these are the only sports that matter) but if they are not bouncing a ball or scoring a touchdown, then to Hell with them....[/quote]

Berkeley is more than 10% blacks after spending tens of millions on recruitment of black students and hiring black admissions Director.[/quote]

Don't know why you are just making stuff up.  It is 4%.
