Probably because it's a legitimate argument.

Re: Blatant Racism Really Boils My Blood
Not a legitimate argument when you consider that AA's earn 65 cents on the dollar compared to whites. (Source: Carmen DeNavas-Walt, Bernadette D. Proctor, Cheryl Hill Lee (August 2005) (PDF). Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2004. United States Census Bureau. pp. 60–229.) Or when you consider American history. Socio-economic status cannot be separated from race. Maybe one day. Not today though.guinness1547 wrote:Probably because it's a legitimate argument.

Yeah because the effects of over 200 years of oppression, racism, and slavery are only felt by the poor.guinness1547 wrote:I believe race shouldn't be a factor in admissions in any scenario(shocker, white kid here), but instead it should be socio-economic status.

I believe racism should be a factor so that minorities can make in-roads into traditionally white, male professions. Shocker, white kid who can see past the end of her own fucking nose.guinness1547 wrote:I believe race shouldn't be a factor in admissions in any scenario(shocker, white kid here), but instead it should be socio-economic status.

Re: Blatant Racism Really Boils My Blood
I think we should only admit white students, and then give a set amount of URM candidates a roster and they get to choose whose spot they take.
