It's interest that the top academic African Applicant's have a better than 50% chance of admission, but that it's still long odds for white and asians and somehow that isn't evidence of racial discrimination

Just in case no one has mentioned this yet (I’m still reading through the thread), it’s likely that the numbers of white students and Asian students who apply are astronomically larger than the numbers of African American students. Native Americans don’t even get a column. So understanding the numbers and what they mean is very limited without knowing how many students are in each category. And of course the racial categories cross with other categories such as sports and legacies. So one reason the admission stats might be so high for the African American and Hispanic students could be because they are relatively very small numbers. ( As in 56 % of 10 students vs 13 % of 100 students will yield 5 students vs 13 ).

So you're saying there is a racial quota? I can't wait for this decision to come down

NP. Or it could be fewer black students even apply and the ones who do are actually qualified.

? how is a math test racist? Can you give me an example of a racist math question on the SAT?

A restaurant bill is $120. What is the total after 5% sales tax and 18% tip?

Blacks don't have money to go to restaurants, and would not be aware of tipping, and whether the tip applies after the sales tax or before.

Are you being serious? Because I go to restaurants pretty frequently and I routinely see black people dining in them.

dp.. that was sarcasm, PP.

People who are saying that the SAT is racist are being ridiculous, and using the ^^ as an example of how ridiculous that assertion is.

How can a math problem be racist? And if someone brings up the stupid "regata" example, I'll just remind that person that a lot of Asian Americans and white people also wouldn't know what that is. I sure didn't when I took the SAT in the 80s.

The math problems aren't the problem with the math SAT. The math SAT is problematic because it reflects all of the experiences that lead up to that point.

The "math" experience is racist/sexist/classist.

yes, we should get rid of math because it's racist.

I have no problem having my tax dollars pay for more tutoring and services to lower income families. My family was once lower income. But, I do have a problem with racial quota.

I posted that, and it wasn't sarcasm. That is the argument that gets made over culturally biased questions. I was too lazy to put up the example from Diff'rent Strokes about how many people can sleep in a house, that involved black people know people sleep on the floor and in the bathtub.

? some people are saying that those math problems are racist because black people don't go to restaurants and tip? Wow, and I bet those same people think they are enlightened and not racist.

I had never heard that one before. If that is really the argument pro-affirmative action groups are making, then I think we need to get rid of aa because it's feeding into those stereotypes.

LOL blacks will stiff you on the tip and they know damn well they are doing it.

I can see why they didn't tip you.

They are not picking white or Asian kids 300 points lower from a flyover state.

They certainly are for some kids from Wyoming/Montana/etc.

Wyoming has one of the best school systems in the country

You really shouldn't engage with race-baiting trolls. It only encourages them.

As a troll, but not the race-baiting kind, I can confirm.
