[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just suppose… that every single African American high school senior in California claimed to be a descendent of slaves and then had “priority” (which doesn’t mean guaranteed admission) in their application. African Americans are 6% of California’s population. 
 About 28%  of African Americans over age 25 have a four year degree. So let’s say this giant prioritizing increases that to 50% (unlikely anytime soon) in the next generation.  That means a whopping 3% of students in the Cal state systems might be African American. If they are able to remain for four years( hard with economic challenges and some will come from poorer high schools).
Mercy!
Tiny price for reparations. Probably would turn out to do a lot of good… social and economic. If it passes, it will have far less effect on the people fearing this than they think.[/quote]

This x10000. I am so sick of hyper competitive white and Asian people freaking out that Junior didn’t get a spot he must be entitled to get. Junior will be perfectly fine. [/quote]

It’s entitled to think that a lazy and incompetent kid needs a back door to get something they didn’t earn.[/quote]
