Haha......my daughter asked the same thing. She was hoping there was a native american great grandmother somewhere in our past.

My mom recently did a DNA test and the results showed she was majorly Hispanic. A huge surprise bc she grew up believing her ancestors were French. Maybe my DD will choose to check the Hispanic box on her college applications.

That is not what colleges care about anymore.

They are looking for '"1st generation to attend college" "s1t gen am" or "spent time is foster care" race really is useless on apps now

You still could dump your kid into the foster care system.

What planet do you live on? Race remains a major factor in admissions.

But again this is just using one measure - test scores. There are many other measures that factor in.

No. If 2 people have the exact same background but different race, they will be measured the same. If they had a "different" background they will be measured differently ... Like the white girl that worked as a janitor in her school.

Are you just being willfully ignorant or are you truly this ill-informed? What do you think affirmative action does? It attempts to balance the playing field by making significant accommodations for URM applicants. A Princeton study of race and admissions found that on average colleges were giving a 250 point accommodation for black students, something like 150 for latinos and a negative 70 for asians. Try and educate yourself on a topic before spouting off your nonsense.

I don't think he was ever in charge of college admissions, so there's that. Also, lol to race blind job applications. I'm so done listening to white people whine about efforts to level the playing field in a system that they rigged for centuries, and expect us to think you've done your due diligence in a single generation. Done. My mother couldn't drink at the same water fountains as some of you fools. I'm under 30. It hasn't been long enough for you to pat your selves on the back and called it square.

There is still a massive discrepancy in the quality of education and enrichment that many minority children have access to compared to your lily white snowflakes. So sorry to break it to you, but the black kid you think stole your kid's seat because he scored 100 points lower? That kid is a fighter. He ran the same race as your kid, except he had a handicap, and your kid had wheels, and in the end your kid barely beat him. Yes he deserves the spot. That black kid has the abilities coupled with a drive to change the world. He'll give back to his community and to the university. Your kid may do that same things, but white men have always had their chance. It's time for everyone else to have theirs too.

There you go again generalizing. Many of these so called "snowflakes" come from broken homes, work several jobs and go hungry because there is no money to feed them. Whatever happened to the words "walk a mile in their shoes..." theory?

Well, the data shows that poor White kids do just fine in the Ivy admissions process. Better than higher SES Whites in fact.

Define "poor." The median family income for kids going to Harvard is $168,000, and only 4.5% have a family income in the bottom 20%. 15% of students have a family income over $630,000 per year. There just aren't that many scrappy poor kids going to Harvard, irrespective of race.

I think that's has a lot to do with self selection. A lot of poor families don't apply to ivy leagues

What I do care about is ignorance/stupidity on what really goes on in the admission process

and overall the PC and people running scared from speaking the truth.... hell I'm not even Asian

When California went race blind Asians shot up and Blacks shot down that's all you need to know

Why would they have to lower the standards? Your premise that minorities applying to Harvard are less academic vs white is not backed up by the facts.
