[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone please answer this question:

Why are some of you so outraged about ending DEI and think it will be the end of diversity?  Don't you believe diverse populations will be admitted on their merit?  Your objections seem to make it clear you *don't* believe this to be true.  I find that so curious.  You're actually saying that you don't think diverse/minority populations could possibly get in on their own merit, and that adcoms would need to know what race they are to make up for that.  Bizarre.[/quote]

Thank you. The unspoken racism in these posts is astonishing [/quote]

Of course many minority/low income students can get into UVA with stellar grades, even better grades than Kyle from
NOVA. However, other amazing low income / minority students might “only” have a 1390 SAT, despite English being their second language, while riding the bus to and from work every day after school, being their parents’ interpreter, not knowing if they will have food the next day, having moved over five times in their childhood, babysitting their siblings, trying to study in loud apartments, and having to dodge being recruited by gangs.  So, yeah, I think that 1390 SAT is outstanding, and well deserving of a UVA admission letter. [/quote]

DP.  [b]What you're describing would be considered first-gen. [/b] What does the color of anyone's skin have to do with their life circumstances?  Visited Appalachia recently?   :roll: [/quote]

Which is a huge portion of DEI.

The biggest beneficiaries of the DEI program at Michigan that RWNJs love to baselessly attack? Poor, white kids from rural areas.
