"They got in because they're black"?

@Madaboutx‌ So you are saying that I should throw away my disliking for this obviously unequal treatment? I don’t think you properly understood, or you feel that different skin-colored people deserve different things. I never said that certain people “earned” anything. I’m saying that there is discrimination in this process, and that discrimination hurts Asians. I do notice one thing, though. Every single time, you have cleverly avoided this, or tried to transform it into a different, irrelevant topic. I never ever said anything about merit being the determining factor for anyone.

Am I wrong in believing that Asians have lower chances of acceptance just because they are of different ethnicity? Please answer this question, and this one alone, as I feel we have both been beating around the bush for far too long.

Also, you made me have quite a laugh when he mentioned a white guy instead of the URM. So white vs asian? White is given priority. I’m starting to feel that you are not trying to actually prolong this debate, but rather are quite uninformed about a multitude of things regarding this topic. It really is not your fault, and I’m not holding anything against you, but you might want to do a bit more research before you say things like that; you undermined your own stance on this topic.

@ItsJustSchool‌ I really respect this, and am willing to read it at a later time. Thank you for showing this to me. However, I just want to remark that my whole stance roots itself in the belief that race or ethnicity as a whole should be insignificant. I am not saying that certain races are taking away opportunities from me. That’s a futile attempt. I am merely stating and expressing my sadness that such a thing as skin color is being used in the admissions process, regardless of how significant or insignificant it is.
