Reverse Racism

[Bourne]

<p>

If Affirmative Action applied to socioeconomic status, then maybe I can understand…I mean, what if we were to say that there were suddenly qoutas on the NBA, because there were too many African Americans, and they picked ppl who were not nearly as talented based on race…it just doesn’t make sense in any other context, so why can it be applied to education? Also, Asians seem to be getting gipped, -50 SAT scores? Is that really fair to be putting a qouta (and yes, I feel it has come to that) on one race to make sure the others succeed? Sounds like the qoutas put on the Jewish people, which was declared illegal!
I feel the African Americans and Hispanics are just as intelligent, and can have just as high averages…and if for some reason that doesn’t work out, then maybe there is something wrong with the way the college board assesses students.

<p>Quotas are unconstitutional. </p>

<p>Why would there be something wrong with the way collegeboard assesses students simply because certain races get lower scores?</p>

<p>Tom you seem to post those numbers proudly in everyone of these kinds of threads. Get other sources to support your opinions. I will not and can not and shall not base my conclusions on the published studies of one university. You seem to want people to apply those same numbers to EVERY school just because those are the conditions that existed at UM. Maybe so… but Maybe not.</p>
