Not all high schools are the same either

I didn't say it negated your point.
In fact, it emphasizes it.
The extremes of quality of education are wider at the grade school level than it is with your choice of college comparison.

I see your white privilege and raise you one white man's burden.

The more I hear about "white privilege" the less I care about "checking" it.

You quoting some statistic you "heard the other day" is not science, you fricking tool.

I just find it funny when non minorities blame the 3 minorities in a class of 200 for their failings to get into a professional school.
Somehow the 3 minorites that got acceptance didn't earn it on their on merit. It's infuriating.
Like I said, if schools were only taking blsck and brown applicants to their professional schools, then we wouldn't be experiencing the lowest number of black male doctors in the last 30 years
I read elsewhere that college GPA and MCAT score ranges better estimate attrition rates than race, and also that minorities with equal grades and scores had approximately a 30% greater chance to gain admission than their majority counterpart. The article is definitely written on a personal level. He accurately referenced the first link I posted. I didn't fact check the rest of his article because I am lazy, but I include it for completeness of discussion and for where I gained the numbers, though I'll admit they're not necessarily completely reliable, but they're probably accurate. Ignore any personal spin after the numbers are delivered.
The number is definitely more than "3," and plenty of more qualified people miss out. But they're likely a second application away from getting in. Plenty of qualified people are held out. Some of them are held out by race. It's definitely a justified annoyance, but much more than race is at fault.

That is the dumbest thing I've read today, and that's saying a lot because I spent a good part of the day on the rant.

Yet another piece of propaganda to promote self-loathing among whites. Dumb.

I agree, all testing should be written using Ebonics as the language, and the font used should be old english.

How many white people get minority scholarships.
Being a white male will be the worst position to be in in a few years if everything keeps going the way it is.

A POC's chances run 44-50% because they are the ones who sell crack, carjack, rob rims, burglarize, etc. mainly to each other. Not the 4-11% crowd I belong to, however if I did that stuff I just mentioned, I would expect to go straight to prison. Dumbass post.

Just read an Op-Ed piece and apparently "White Privilege" has caused "Global Warming" This is according to the author, the Easter Bunny

Right on, honkies need to educate themselves.

Ok. To those of you who believe that "white privilege" is the source of most/all inequality, answer this.
I am a white, happily married, successful, young professional. I have 2 young kids who are happy, healthy, and loved. I worked my butt off to get here, and I am doing well enough that I will have no issue paying for their schooling, thru college and/or professional school. And, They know that we expect them to do well.
Please place the following reasons for my kids' (hopeful) potential success:
Individual talent and drive
Stable, happy, 2 parent family environment
Financial stability/resources
