Some people just get a fairer shake than others.


It just so happens that the darker your skin, the fairer your shake.

Diversity should not come at the expense of merit. It is counterproductive to do so.

And the Asian students are completely right in their assertion.


Good on them.

Why do I get the feeling that a black trans lesbian Muslim would get the best shake

I'm a conservative white male with an average ACT score. Can I get in?

I wish more people with good ACTs would go to a vocational school.


The country would be much better off.

And this isn't supposed to be demeaning. I mean that the country would actually benefit from more in those professions. And they are self employed and make bank.

Absolutely. 4 year college enrollment should be cut by at least half. Eliminate all of the BS degrees. If you want to learn more about gender studies then you do it on nights and weekends on your own dime.

Less student loans, lower unemployment, more tax revenue, it's a win-win no matter how you look at it.

Ivy League schools go easy on poor people. I thought this was common knowledge?

Some don't offer admission if they can't offer aid.

Apply this at an ivy league school and you are lauded as forward looking and progressive.

Apply this at a swimming pool and you get arrested.

Because you forgot the golden rule...



Princeton obviously could not use a man like Ajo Devil.

You won't be able to call them the "minority" for long.

There should be a minimum to go to college. People with ACTs in the teens shouldn't even be admitted.
