"They got in because they're black"?

Its obvious that many people of different races get in. They get in because the colleges feel and know that the person can succeed and thrive in that atmosphere. That has never been a question of doubt. Race has never been a factor in determining capability, but this is just my opinion: affirmative action, and other policies alike, create a “reverse discrimination”. In places where I have never seen any Asians get in with certain stats and scores, I see a ton of URMs get in.

I’m not hating on anybody but I just feel like Asians are not getting the same treatment. There’s really not anything you can say to prove that what I am saying is wrong.

I also saw someone say that legacies get preference, and yes, they do. It’s sort of like school pride, to have a student from a trusted person who already went to the school.

As for the people saying recruited athletes don’t deserve to get in with their stats, you are completely wrong. They are at least somewhat capable of doing the work, and they excel greatly in a potential career path. College prepares people for careers, and sports very well may be their career. You are in no place to discount their achievements and hard work.
