[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol speak for yourself. I don't believe in affirmative action and neither does half the country. It will eventually be outlawed nationwide, just might take a decade or so.[/quote]

This is not in place to help URMs.   :roll: Affirmative Action is used by Whites to block Asian-Americans.

The numbers of URMs who apply to programs is so low that even if all are taken it will not impact others too much.  It is just that Whites are not able to sacrifice as much as the Asian-Americans for academic results and things had always come easy to Whites without effort. Now they are incapable of competing with Asian-Americans but with the new changes the group that will benefit is average Whites from MC or UMC families.

As a white person, I’m happy to be used as the white bogey man if it makes you feel better and especially if it makes you talk sense into people who want to destroy the academic integrity of the premier high school in the DMV, (and also one of the top 5 high schools in the nation) in the name of equity. But I assure you most of “us” hold the opinion that hard work and academic merit/achievement should be rewarded. (After all, didn’t the Smithsonian just release a document insisting this type of value was an indicator of “whiteness”  :roll: ) so I am 100% all about supporting admission for students who make the cut regardless of their race or ethnicity. And yes, even when that means TJ is 70% Asian.[/quote]
