Might I remind members of the forum rules: “Our forum is expected to be a friendly and welcoming place, and one in which members can post without their motives, intelligence, or other personal characteristics being questioned by others."
and
“College Confidential forums exist to discuss college admission and other topics of interest. It is not a place for contentious debate. If you find yourself repeating talking points, it might be time to step away and do something else… If a thread starts to get heated, it might be closed or heavily moderated.”
Examples of phrases to avoid (and this list is not exhaustive):
-
Let me explain it to you in words you can understand
-
You clearly don’t understand
-
That shows how little you know
The conversation tends to work better when one does not attempt to put words in another user’s mouth.
There is one thread and only one thread in which race and admissions can be discussed. This thread isn’t it.
