[quote=Anonymous]Let's think about this honestly. You can be against affirmative action, but a black or brown kid did not take your spot. Let's see how this works at an ivy league school: the vast majority of students come from legacy, athletics (club sports like crew, lacross and squash), donors and faculty. Then, you have early admission, but you have to have the funds to commit. All of which, I might add, have NOTHING to do with merit. That leaves the rest to fight for a spot. Do you think those above are coming from black and brown students? Absolutely not. So, your kid is still going to have a terribly difficult time getting into an ivy unless you fit one of those categories. So in effect, the SC did what America has done throughout its history - create division among all of the have nots.[/quote]
