<p>...well thanks for the input everyone.</p>
<p>And for the record for whoever implied it, and for the most who thought it, I am not planning on getting into college based on my race. I have worked my ass off for the last 3 years of my life to get where I am now, I just can't stand people saying "Well you're an Indian so you'll get into any college with a **** GPA and for free." Simply put, that is not the way it is, nor should ever be.</p>
<p>I don't know if I would say Scalia would repeal the 14th amendment, but he's certainly a racist.</p>
<p>It definitely helps. When I applied, I got a paper asking me if I was native american. lol.</p>
<p>fabrizio - love the Scalia quote. Brings to mind another from Chief Justice Roberts in dealing with affirmative action: "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."</p>
<p>I've often heard that the advantage in admissions gained from being a URM is comparable to being a recruited athlete. I think being a Native American will certainly help you a lot. Native Americans have the lowest average SAT and ACT scores, I believe, of any race. They also have one of the highest poverty rates, and are generally not well represented at elite universities.</p>
<p>EtTuBrutus,</p>
<p>Please provide proof for your statement that Justice Scalia is racist. If by traditionalist you mean old-fashioned social conservative, he is certainly that.</p>
<p>Justice Scalia has certainly been critical of substantive due process, but I don’t believe that he has ever advocated for repealing the Fourteenth Amendment. Please provide proof for your statement that he’d reinstitute the three-fifths compromise.</p>
<p>Edit</p>
<p>Do you disagree with that quote from Justice Scalia?</p>
<p>BronxBombers7,</p>
<p>I like that statement from Chief Justice Roberts, as well. Unfortunately, as straightforward as his words are, they mean nothing to some people.</p>
