<p>as a URM(Black American), I must say, those previous comments were very well articulated.</p>
<p>Gaps still remain in today’s society that often limit minorities’ opportunities to receive the outstanding education Andrea may have recieved. Money, Education, and Resources trickle down through generations. I doubt my grandparents recieved a “fair shot.”</p>
<p>Affirmative Action may play a role in Williams’ admissions, but please realize that the issue is primarily one of supply and demand. To date, i’ve only ever met 1 other black perosn who’d ever even HEARD of Williams College.</p>
<p>And if Williams is graduating 90% of its black students, then I doubt the students in question are “inferior”.</p>
<p>Andrea, not everyone in our society is rich and white. If there were no AA, most colleges would still be 90%+ WHITE. It’s pretty hard to beat a race that’s been given a 400 year headstart.</p>
