[quote=Anonymous]For the "stigma" associated with URMs to go away at school and at the workplace, they need to compete and earn it at the same level as others who they seek to replace (i.e. Whites and the "minority who you don't want to include among minorities" (Asians)).

You do that by providing them the runway -  training, opportunities, etc. - to compete as "equals", not by diluting standards and lowering the bar.

Asking people to shut up about it and shaming them because a logical thought popped into their head is not going to fix it long term.  I bet we will be having this discussion as a society, a 100 years from now if this how we choose to fix this problem, to the detriment of the URM population.

I truly want deserving URM kids to get the opportunities they deserve.  I want them to out-compete my kids.  Anyone that doesn't is diminished in my mind.  This includes athletic, legacy and URM recruits at colleges.  Sorry. But that's my reality, and a reality I will be sharing with everyone who cares to listen and likely be influenced by my opinions.
