[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From that podcast!

“Okay. I'll tell you what else they're not going to want to get rid of. You know, the poor kid from Appalachia who's white, who has a terrible test score compared to the national averages, but is actually a really good test score in his context.

I've said this before on the podcast. Talking with the Yale Admission Officer, Senior Person, if I can get a 31 out of Appalachia, like I'll do a cartwheel. Like that's probably the high score they've had in five years.

They're going to somehow defend and support that, and they're going to make it all about race. And I just think there's so much evidence. So I was like, well, how can you be so opinionate?”

Why should poor kids get affirmative action? It's not like an upper middle class or middle class kid can choose where they were born and they're still not overly wealthy. Why are some kinds of preference (legacy, sports, lower income, gender) still allowed but not race. No one wants to go to school in a college that's homogenous racially. PWIs get a bad rap.[/quote]
