<p>Harvard wants a certain number or percentage of ethnically diverse students, right? So those students are competing for THEIR spots. YOU will never get those spots.</p>
<p>IF a URM student checked off the "white" box, THEN he would be competing for YOUR spots! So the URM individual isn't taking ANYTHING away from you. However, Harvard, the institution, is reserving spots away from you. If you think that's wrong, you must blame Harvard for thus dividing the competition!</p>
<p>Stop telling URM's to pose as white students, then there will be even MORE "white" kids competing for that limited amount of spots, and even LESS URM kids competing for their seperate spots!</p>
