Cajun doesn’t qualify as a minority



FTR my son started UTD with 33 hours of AP credit, so it evens out somewhat. He basically tested out of a year of college

This class is the third graduating class from their school and there is a white girl in the Top Ten. Two white kids in the top 25. Graduation is like a UN assembly

Affirmative action may be officially dead but it's not really dead.


I guarantee your kids would not only get in to those schools, but have mega scholarships if they were non-whites.

Its just how things are. I'm sure there are lots of minority students that deserve everything they get, but there's definitely a negative side to selecting based on race, or even possibly immigration status.
