Have you read any of my posts or not?Is the "affirmative action" you support based on race or not?

There you go again - repeating that false narrative.Yes, that is why I know you are in favour of race-based selection criteria for university admissions, meaning that you favour racial discrimination.

You can have those stats and still not get in. That's the point. Harvard and other elite universities have always admitted based on "diversity". They can deny you because they needed some left handed violinists. They can deny you because they needed someone who's an aspiring astronaut. They will definitely deny you if a member of the Bush or Clinton Dynasty is an applicant and they have average grades and no extracurricular activities. As many people have already stated...You do realize you're whining over a 1/10,000 chance at getting into harvard for that poor white/asian kid, if the policy was dropped, right?
He sure as **** won't have perfect grades/SAT, 8+ APs, national/international awards and co-authored research that's needed to get in
lol ok, keep beating this drum of the poor white man getting screwed out of elite colleges by the rich black man. I'm sure in its class of 2400, you might find 1-2 who fit the mold
Elite private schools having a 1/10,000 acceptance rate makes sense mate. That's why they're called elite private schools.
Anyway:
Things Harder Than Getting To Harvard - Business Insider
I feel universities should accept students based on their intellectual abilities, not on the basis of the colour of their skin. Too bad you disagree.
So i maintain that affirmative action to an extent levels the playing field and almost never deprives poor white/asian applicants, who wouldn't get in anyway.
I don't agree it should use race, but economic background yes. I'm simply denying that even a race based policy will harm lower-middle class white/asian applicants and i have no sympathy for the spoiled brat upper class kids who get rejected because of it. You are taking up a banner of a group that wouldn't give you the time of day (assuming you are not white/asian and upper class)
So you admit the discrimination of whites is happening at harvard and your only response is to say "not that big a deal".!!! Get help please.
