OP here, I visit DCUM once in a while, I also read College Confidential, and based on the type of informative, honest, straightforward responses which my similar question yielded on CC, I would never have anticipated that my question would have devolved into some sort of race or ethnicity wars in a place as educated and civilized as DC.

I officially withdraw my original question, and ask that people please cease responding to the ugly postings on this thread.  Thank you.[/quote]There are maybe  one or two questionable remarks but even they aren't 'ugly' as you put it.  There has been sound debate (doesn't matter if you agree or disagree), and I don't see any ugliness or vitriolic response or language.  Yes, the thread did go in another direction but anyone who has been on DCUM for awhile in this forum knows it eventually bounces back to the original topic as someone will make a relating comment.

And as far as College Confidential goes, I have been a follower for years.  It most certainly has its questionable moments especially in the prep school forum.  It is unfortunate that you find the people here not quite to your liking as they engage in spirited debate.  With that said, please stay away from the Political Forum as you most likely will find it extraordinarily distateful to your delicate sensibilities.

Team OP here. Like OP, I'm sick of the racism that turns every thread into "the reason my kid didn't get into HYP is because some undeserving minority was given his slot."  You people need to grow up and do some reflecting about the real reasons your kids were rejected (grinds with no compelling story?).

It's also pathetic that PP thinks s/he's justified for derailing yet another thread on this topic. Couching it in what passes for condescending "humor" is a fail, too.  [/quote]
