| Yeah, Obsessed Mom, take your legitimate points elsewhere! Erm . . . speaking of equalizing, I have a friend whose parents fled the Chinese "Cultural Revolution", arrived in the US without speaking English, went to community college and then state schools and now have a miniature rental house empire and six figure salaries each. So, I suppose regardless of the best attempts of high-minded admissions officers at social engineering, or whatever is they're paid to do, folks with chutzpah, moxie, cojones, bollocks (or whatever it's called) can be and often are super successful. I don't think college shenanigans necessarily translate into real world success.
Also: Under what definition do sweeping terms like "Black" or "Caucasian" constitute ethnic groups? There are people with dark skin and people with light skin who are culturally and linguistically identical, eh? I'm confused, but who would dare question those admissions officers of ineffable wisdom!?!? Not I! |
