Does ethnicity make a big difference?

<p>Yah… I don’t really like the affirmative action. I think people should gain admission based on merits, not on what colour your skin is or anything that you’re born with (other than family financial circumstances or other factors that might affect learning, but NOT skin, or race). Okay fine,CERTAIN Native Americans or people living in really rural area and lack basic education services might be exceptions.</p>

<p>By the way, race does not work that well at UC Berkeley’s admission process. Approximately 49% of student population at Berkeley are Asian.</p>
