<p>“If the above statement says that Stanford is replacing a science/math geek with an art/history geek then it is appropriate but replacing a science/math geek of one color or race with another color or race just on the fact that there are too many of one color race is absurd.”</p>
<p>I think it probably referred to the art/history geek thing. I also think that there might be more to their classification than “math and science” versus “art and history” – there might be subtle differences among the math and science students. Perhaps there is more diversity among certain groups of math and science geeks. I think the key is that they could admit 100% of any type of high achiever if they wanted to, but don’t want to…I will take on faith for now that they’re being discriminating about something other than race.</p>
