If that was the case then why aren’t minority college grads doing tough majors and going into law, medicine, consulting, appears, engineering jobs.

Instead they fill up gender and racial studies departments, become further enraged and victimized, and go on to make peanuts working for liberal NGOs, schools or esol programs.

Peanuts? Diversity deanships pay way more than many law firm jobs, sucker.

And ironic how these same liberals, who are calling anyone a racist who objects to using race as a facfor (ironic right there), are also exhibiting a big WGAF where whitey is concerned. We've had disdainful remarks about "white trash" and how poor, white Billy with excellent grades can just suck it up at community college so Dashanda with the B can go to a four-year university. I am dumbfounded as to how a group,of people can condemn others with awful racist accusations, and then demonstrate their prejudice against whites - particularly low-income whites.

I say we've had two full generations of giving a big break to blacks, and that's enough. This claim that we can stop doing it when blacks have achieved the same level of success ignores the bad behavior more associated with blacks which leads to failure - notably, having the majority babies out-of-wedlock.

And finally, stop blaming slavery that happened generations before any of us were even born. Jews suffered thr massive discrimination imaginable during the lifetime of our parents, and that didn't stop them from studying, getting top scores and grades, and going to college - all while they listened to their parents crying over the murders of their relatives - AND while facing anti-Jewish quotas at the Ivies.

1) The expense of a small % of majority kids. It's a small price to pay. Those kids will be fine.

2) Provide some data that the small % of kids who aren't getting in are the poor white Billys. That is a purely a fabrication of demographics. It could just as easily be middle-class kids - actually even more probable given the applicant pool for college.

3) PP is being called a racist because she's not worried about other kids (athletes, legacies, other URMs) taking spots in college. ONLY black kids.

4) We are all still experiencing the nasty side effects of slavery and systematic racism (that exists TODAY). Why do you think they'd just magically go away quickly? Why are you denying that they exist?

5) "Bad behavior" - so you are slut shaming an entire race? Again, don't complain when we call you a racist.

There are multiple factors that get special consideration in the admissions process. Underrepresented minority status is just one and is actually the most justifiable one because the underrepresentation is the direct result of discrimination.

BS.

Underrepresentation, assuming that's even a valid concept, is a direct result of lower personal academic merits.

Only (some) Asian Americans and white students suffer today from direct discrimination.

You are clueless about America.
