Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Racial breakdown of students at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford compared to students scoring 1400+ on the SAT by tabthough

Race can't play a factor for the simple fact a kid can't change it.

We have had this discussion time and time again, but at the end of the day everybody should be treated equally regardless of sex, race and any other factors not related to the content of their character.

Schools should be able to decide who to except off of GPA, SAT, essay, whatever they want but race shouldn't play a factor in it. Period.

Race isn't playing a factor, test scores are, for schools like this high test scores get you an interview. The schools value a good story, be that hard work, overcoming adversity etc, every single person you see in this graph scored amazing on tests every single one earned a spot at these schools but there isn't enough spots. interviews said this breakdown deserved a spot. plain and simple.

I thank all of our lucky stars that there are smart people out there in positions of power who disagree with you

Instead of making admission easier for urms, maybe we should actually change the fucking circumstances that make it difficult for them to go to school.

And there are underpriveleged people who aren’t urms? Or urms who are rich.
