<p>Racism is what happened when the tortoise beat the hare.</p>
<p>If no smarter non-URM lost her/his spot in a given college to a URM with lower stats, ECs, APs, grades, rank etc., there’s no AA and they kid got her/his spot by merit, not by phenotype.</p>
<p>Most URM who got into any top college are as qualified, smart and have similar stats-credentials than non-URM also admitted. The problem is, however, the bottom of the cohort, where URM who got a “bump” certainly have stolen someone else (more qualified btw) place.</p>
