<p>The reason that I linked the video is that I don’t want to sugarcoat the experience the UC experience. The video was done out of the frustration that currently exist in the black community regarding the UC system. If you read the article on the daily bruin, you will see that there is already a prevalent thought that black people dont belong a certain UC’s and they are way over their heads academically. </p>
<p>While I agree that there is many hispanic and black students at UCLA, as a South Campus major I can tell you that there is definitely less people of color is certain majors. </p>
<p>Let me give you an example, I recently took a Economics 106T (economics of technology) that dealt with TEch starup. very interesting class, you had very important people come to speak (CEO of PACSUN, executives of ATT, Ebay, and Venture Capitalist that has invested in SnapChat). It wasn’t until the 3rd week of school that I noticed that there were no African Americans in this class. why is it that there wasn’t any enrolled in this class?? I mean people of all races use: facebook, snapchat, youtube, google, netflix, ext. so wouldn’t people from all races be interested how Venture Capitalist work??? then i noticed that I myself took this class by serendipity, I only took it because it was best to fit my schedule.</p>
<p>Now I don’t 100% agree with the video,however I think they bring up a valid point. Why is there few african americans at UCLA and why aren’t any of the interested in taking Economics 106T?</p>
<p>However I do believe that African Americans and Native Americans deserve to be part of Affirmative Actions</p>
<p>1) African American have been marginalized for centuries, look at Slavery
2) Native Americans have been robbed of their homeland.</p>
<p>I also believe that the UC’s should not be reserved for rich people, this is why I advocate for transfer student (regardless of race). I think that Community college offers a second chance for many people, something that I benefited from.</p>
<p>ps. Yes it was very douchy of Dre and Jimmy Iovine to donate money to U$C, as a Bruin I will never buy Beats headphones.</p>
