[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t they just put on the application “were your ancestors even enslaved in the United States”[/quote]

Because racial quotas in college admission have nothing to do with slavery.

This shows you don't understand the issue at all.  It's not reparations, and it is not affirmative action.

It has to do with colleges wanting a representative balance in races to achieve their mission.  If they can't then they can't get the students they want, for the same reason non AA people don't choose to attend excellent HBC schools.  And in colleges where Asians are URM applicants, they get the same benefit from the policy, which is again proof it isn't racist.

These are facts.

[/quote]. Interesting point.  I’ve never understood why Asian students so rarely apply to SLACs, where they are underrepresented and could get in more easily, but would get a great education.  It should not be Ivy or big state school.  Especially males, who are greatly lacking at SLACs.  I would say that an education at a highly ranked SLAC rivals Ivy League.[/quote]

Check Asian population of top 15 SLAC  schools and come back[/quote]

Not that PP but
Williams 12.3%
Amherst 14.9%
Pomona 16.3%
Swarthmore 15.7%
Wellesley 23%

I dunno, looks pretty good for Asians to me, what's the problem with SLACs for Asians?[/quote]
