<p>I may sound really ignorant… or tired right now , but in a sense I feel as if the outcome of this particular situation, or other types of situations such as this one are justifiable. What IS FACT is that African Americans or minorities on average are not given the same opportunities generally in life as the majority . A lot of them (not all) go through great lengths to get an education and “succeed” in life (in this instance,mainly referring to the ones who are of ivy league credentials.) Because of this, I feel as if the African American (or minority) who on average has less opportunity and who’s racial group has had less opportunity for for the most amount of time should (obviously not every time) get the advantage .In the future, because of the existence of things like AA;things that are trying create to balance within our social constructs, everyone will be given ‘equal opportunity,’ and your situation will not exist. My point is that yes the URM that has 300 less points on the SAT than you, on average will have had somewhat of a “harder” time getting there than you (depending on the circumstance); yes because of their minority’s history. You may not get it, but in many ways it is proven and has be proven on this post. Unfortunately,because of our past history it needs to be done. The margin of minorities who achieve the higher SAT scores are lower than the majority. Which makes sense because of their opportunities or lack thereof. Nevertheless, this shouldn’t always be the case. Colleges look at the applicants in their entirety, and race, regardless of whatever ******** people are saying about it being a “social consrtuct,” has A TON to do with ones life, education and social status etc. Our already admitted flawed society unfortunately probably would never change if we didn’t have things like AA and colleges taking race into consideration.</p>
