<p>Agreed - yet race still is used as a factor despite this fact. /:</p>
<p>Lobzz-Sadly your statement is false. Again, in GENERAL, not always but more often than not, whites live in more affluent areas with nicer/better schools, while blacks are more likely to live in slightly more depressed areas and not have a chance to go to better highschools. You can look at the statisitcs, but it is undeniably true that in general, whites are wealthier than blacks. To say that race has no bearing at all on socio-economic is simply wrong.
Of course, this is not because blacks are in any way inferior, but they often do not have access to the same education that whites have. This puts them at a disadvantage when applying to college.</p>
<p>You’re in at Stanford. I can’t say about other places.
Hispanic male from Louisiana applying to Stanford, c’mon people.
If you were a Hispanic female, your chance would be remarkably high.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I believe that Hispanic females are quite a bit more well-represented than Hispanic males at top schools.</p>
<p>but females, in general, have it easier than males.</p>
<p>^ What makes you say that?</p>
<p>Because in the past, minorities and females were discriminated against</p>
<p>^ I’m not following the connection.</p>
<p>“Hispanic male from Louisiana applying to Stanford, c’mon people.”</p>
<p>^Are my chances really that good haha? Because if they are, that’s really encouraging. 
But do my state and ethnicity make that big of a difference? Because, as NJDS said, Stanford does get alot of Hispanic applicants. Also, what’s more advantageous, Hispanic male or Hispanic female? Because among my Hispanic community, far more of the girls go to college than the guys.</p>
