I know I said earlier that I would take a break from this thread…but I felt I have to say something. Tenisghs, I don’t think thats what fabrizo is saying at all. All he is saying (i think) is that if you admit students for diversity, pick the best who truly will bring diversity to the campus, not just a black student simply for the sake of increasing higher black percentage in colleges. I dont even think thats what AA is like right now, but you seem to think that that is what has to be done. I applaud you for your achievements, and you probably were accepted to your college because you were very qualified. THey didn’t accept you becuase you are black and black representation “NEEDS” to be higher. You have to stop thinking that blacks are the only group being neglected and prejudiced and that is the only reason why black representation in colleges is low.
