TBH, I think some of you all read her PP with a slant.  I did not read the way you did at all!  Read what she said in her second sentence.  You guys focused on race and she said SES was the primary factor.  And you are naive to think that a low SES raised person (who happens to be AA) has the same advantages as a higher SES person.

[b]No offfense but if a higher SES White student had her scores (with all of the inherent advantages of being higher SES), I would venture to say that PP is more deserving.

If I were putting together an admissions class at my own fantasyland college, I would compare each race and SES against others in that race and SES.  I would choose the best within a race and a SES group to fill out my class.   Truth be told, high achievers in any race will do well - SES not so much.  Mid and high SES White folks hate Affirm Action the most because it is the "average" or mediocre students compared to other like White students who are being squeezed.  Mid and High SES Whites no longer get the benefit of being mediocre. [/quote]

What in the world??  That is just silly.  She's simply more deserving because of the color of her skin?[/quote]

No.  That is not what I said.  But let me rephrase to make it clear "No offfense but if a higher SES student had her scores (with all of the inherent advantages of being higher SES), I would venture to say that PP is more deserving."  Took our reference to color. [/quote]
