<p>We are not gaming the system. The system is gaming us. Asking us for race prior to admissions is absolute ********. (If it’s for federal gov. purposes make it so that adcom can’t view it!). And study after study proves asian and white males are discriminated against. If we had any backbone whatsoever we’d start denying to report en masse.</p>

<p>Colleges should be ashamed of themselves.</p>

<p>Which race to put on your application? lol this is a stupid question. Obviously you should put black.</p>

<p>And yes private schools CAN USE RACE DISCRIMINATION. If you took US Government, you’d know that private schools can do what ever they want. There was supreme court case on this. Burke and Bakke? (I think)?</p>
