Race baiting student put in her place again by Supreme Court

At stake is the claim made by Abigail Fisher, now 25, who hails from a wealthy suburb of Houston called Sugar Land, that she was deprived of her rightful admission at UT Austin because, in her view, some person of color who didn’t deserve it stole it from her.
quote:
Throughout her now seven-year campaign to make the school pay for not letting her in, Fisher has never been able to produce any evidence that the school tossed her application to make room for a less qualified minority applicant. That’s because, as UT Austin has maintained throughout this ordeal, Fisher was never getting in to their school. Fisher’s GPA and SAT scores weren’t high enough, and she didn’t have enough external accomplishments to convince the school to give her a shot otherwise. As Pro Publica explained at the time:
quote:
It’s true that the university, for whatever reason, offered provisional admission to some students with lower test scores and grades than Fisher. Five of those students were black or Latino. Forty-two were white. Neither Fisher nor Blum mentioned those 42 applicants in interviews. Nor did they acknowledge the 168 black and Latino students with grades as good as or better than Fisher’s who were also denied entry into the university that yeaR

People need to learn that being offended isn't a catastrophe.

Clearly has no soul.

She would have been admitted if she were black. She was just born the wrong color.

All race baiters are pieces of shite and deserve to be ridiculed.

Wait.
Is op dumb enough to claim that universities don't take race into account when evaluating applicants?

Good post, but I'm sure it'll boil down to reflexive whining. I'm not entirely comfortable with race as a standalone consideration in admissions, but there should be a reasonable way to address this debate. This girl kinda sucks as a representative "wronged" white student.

Didn't click to verify bunk source, but this statement along tells me they have an agenda.
And that girl has a very ugly and punchable face. Woof.

Man...that's a ginger that doesn't make it move.
And that's saying something.
