<p>Yeah, lets go with I just don’t like the requirement . For me I feel like its a another filter to keep certain students out, students who are great academically aside from not being exposed to a foreign language . </p>
<p>I still think it can be interrupted as discrimination since if you weren’t exposed to a foreign language at a young age , your going to have a very hard time learning it now . </p>
<p>Of course this can be countered with a good language tutor, but if you can’t afford a language tutor your out of luck again . Socio-economic discrimination isn’t recognized, you get to check a few boxes on the UC app about it and you get maybe one automatic email about how their are so many resources to help you. But if you say something crazy like " I’m applying to your campus for next fall, unfortunately I will have to drop a pre-req class to go back to work, can you give me an exception " you’ll get a cold shoulder . The vast majority of students who go to college come from a soci-economic standing which allows them to focus on school . </p>

<p>But If I started a thread saying that the UC as a public university system should enroll higher numbers of disadvantaged students I would get flamed again . I quit my job, and spent a very serious amount of money to try to pass french , and its not going to happen . And now the teacher, at the point in which the class gets insanely difficult , says if you’ve taken French before the class would be easy , and if you haven’t it will be a challenge . Now if only I knew this day one, I could of saved alot of time and money .</p>
