<p>I hate the feeling that students are not on even playing field especially for berkeley. Colleges should seek to admit the best students possible-period. I do not think we should have affirmative action (Is it fair to the asian kid who has to have higher scores than the hispanic kid?). I am a URM (hispanic) saying this and although I enjoyed the advantage, it is not fair. Similarly, California students shouldnt take away international student spots because they are from california-let the best kids in isn’t that what education is about? Instead of using race and ethnicity as factors (which I believed is no more racist than the quotas imposed on minorities in the past) we should only use economic status as factors. If a kid is low income he has had less privileges regardless of if he’s black yellow green or pink. If he’s high income, then he has had more privileges- simple!</p>
