[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Then make Affirmative Action tailored and specific to multigenerational groups that have suffered discrimination. [b]Why the heck should a Columbian's kid who migrated here 30 years ago, get a leg up for admission.[/b] His family probably effed over the native Americans in Columbia and now they come here and get to enjoy special preferences? Why the hell should a conquistador's descendent be allowed to migrate from Mexico to the US and get preferential treatment in college admissions? They were the privileged a*holes in their country, but the minute they step on this side of the fence they become oppressed. BS [/quote] Because racial balance in college admissions is not done to make reparations; it is done because colleges feel they are better if they have a representative racial balance. The background of the student's ancestors is irrelevant to that mission. Why is that so hard to understand?[/quote]
