[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are colleges obsessed with race.
They should be color blind

Why don't you see any value in meeting and studying with people that aren't like you?[/quote]
You sound racist if you think black applications are so ill-redeemable that they need handouts and boosts to receive acceptance rates.[/quote]

You sound like you don't understand statistics.

Let's take a look at NYC for example.  Here is some data for their specialized public high schools.

Here's a breakdown of the 2025 admissions data:

Black Students: 8 out of 781 students admitted to Stuyvesant.
Hispanic Students: Just under 7% of all students admitted to the eight specialized high schools.
Asian Students: 53.5% of the seats were offered to Asian students.
White Students: 25.9% of the seats were offered to White students.

And here is the demographic data for New York City public high school students.

41.3% Hispanic, 
24.4% Black, 
16.3% Asian, and 
14.4% White

You're the one that seems to think that this data is sound in it's indication that black and Hispanic students are not capable of deserving to benefit from the education available at these specialized high schools.

You don't see any problem with this situation and I do.  And on we go.[/quote]
