[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) The cost of the lottery ticket is higher for Asian American kids than Black kids. I get that at some point admissions is a lottery for the most selective schools, but you cannot get around the fact that the floor of SAT scores is much lower for Black and Hispanic students than Asian ones.
2) I am not confident that AOs appreciate and take into account the huge differences within the Asian American community with regard to income and parent education.

Honest question, why aren't you screaming from the rooftops about the mostly-white legacy students who make up 30% or so of the incoming classes of these universities, compared to the less than 5% of black kids?  You know that it's much more likely one of those kids "stole" the spot others think they are entitled to.  How much does *their* lottery ticket cost?[/quote]
There's no denying that. I think that legacy should end. It's not mutually exclusive to end legacy and insist that the bar to entry be the same regardless of race.[/quote]

It might not be mutually exclusive, but the cries about the legacy kids are a whisper, compared to *all this* about the very small percentage of black and brown kids getting into these schools.  Let's all keep that in mind when we claim we're fighting against systemic racism.....[/quote]

Amen[/quote]
no.. you are all dummies.

Using ALDC is not discriminatory. Using race is.

Bunch of idiots on here.[/quote]
