[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are visiting colleges now with our DCs. According to DCUM, we should be seeing plenty of URM « black boys » on these campuses. We simply are not. But do carry on lamenting how these Black boys are stealing your white and Asian kids’ spots at Ivy schools and How life  will swing the pendulum back and will be fair again. 😏[/quote]

True.

We've been on tours of the T20 schools. Across 5-10 schools, we've seen very very few URMs and almost no black males.

Most of the people on DCUM college threads are astute. They look at Common Data Sets and know the demographic stats. [/quote]

I love how no one on here is acknowledging this.  Again, the URM kids [b]are "stealing" all the spots[/b] at these elite schools from more deserving white and asian kids, but the vast majority of the demographic on these campuses (white and Asian),  are the the ones who actually deserve to be there, correct?  How do parents know that it wasn't one of these kids who stole their child's spot?  How do they know that legacy wasn't a factor, or money, or influence, or cheating, or lying?  Nope, its those CLEARLY unqualified blacks and Hispanics.  :roll: [/quote]

No one is acknowledging this because this is not a position that people are taking. You are making up a strawman. Second, your anecdotes are meaningless against real actual data that's been published. It's undisputed fact that schools are discriminating against Asians in favor of other student demographics.
