@planner03 I think I sense great sarcasm…? Lol. Anyway, that comment I made was in context to something else I said. I forgot lol.

@Madaboutx‌ I’m not here to say “all hail Asians”. I’m just saying that currently, right now, there is reverse discrimination. Yes, I completely agree that URMs used to be discriminated against, so it was very reasonable to come up with these rules and stipulations, but I think they took it a bit too far. Just as the URMs want equal opportunities, us Asians want equal opportunities.

To even consider such an uncontrollable factor like the color of anybody’s skin is blasphemous to democracy itself. Whether the color of the skin be black, brown, white, etc., it shouldn’t matter!

I hope you can see where I am coming from. I’m not attacking you at all, and I actually agree with a lot about what you said, such as not being entitled to certain things, and colleges picking students who fit well into the university.

However, some things you said rub the wrong way against me. It has even been quoted that an admissions officer at a high caliber school takes off a hundred or so points off of the SAT just because the person is Asian, and adds a couple hundred for some URMs, such as blacks. The difference ends up being very significant.

Also, when was I “shutting down the brain to reasonable discussion and debate and refusing to be persuadable”? That was my first post on here. You can’t determine who I am and what my future actions will be! That is just being rude.
