re: Whites at top colleges would go from 66% to 75% if SAT only admission criteria

So for all of your "race shouldn't be a factor" BS, at the end of the day, you are still perfectly happy to pass over more qualified white students to meet some race quota.

What are you talking about?

What makes these hypothetical students more qualified?

Hypothetically? Higher test scores and GPA, coupled with identical socioeconomic background and extracurriculars.

By your standards , whitey gets passed over "because diversity"

I'm trying to build the most complimentary class possible. Students that will challenge one another in all facets. Accepting another cookie cutter valedictorian doesn't always do that.

In the real world of college admissions, whitey is getting passed over for another whitey with lower scores.

Why wouldn't it be?

I can give you as many reasons against as you could give me for. The point is that the left doesn't like America as founded or the white people that founded it. The white liberals have a self loathing and guilt for being white, but why? There's nothing wrong with the founding of America. We fought a Civil War where half a million people died to right the wrong of slavery. But other countries have had slavery throughout the course of history and they're never discussed. In fact, the warring tribes if Africa would enslave their captives throughout their history. They eventually started selling these slaves to others around the world. No one seems to have a problem with Africans, being ALL black, being proud of their country, but white Americans can't take pride in theirs because there's not enough diversity?

Why is diversity a strength?

The test scores will give you a hint at why...

am Ok with the right person getting accepted or hired based on what the university or job qualifications require. Unfortunately over the last 5 to 10 years a more diverse workforce or university may not be better off. Now you throw in a qualified diverse workforce or university then we maybe talking. I know Rome wasn't built in a day maybe it will take time so we shall see. I am open to that.

It makes it impossible to discuss when you keep bringing in the workforce.

This ain’t about that.

I disagree with that approach. If a 1300 is what is needed to succeed, that should be the case across the board.

---

This is completely BS. Let’s use the NBA because it’s a perfect example. No one is picking the white guy because he has the minimum needed to succeed. That’s not what the academic institutions are trying to do. They are supposed to be pushing to improve and increase intellect. You don’t do that by taking anything but the best.

Furthermore, your whole premise stands on the fact everyone getting in has a 1300. That’s wrong. The issue here is that the admissions really want something like 1350 to be the minimum but certain races can’t get enough so they lower it to 1300 so when those races have candidates with 1275’s getting in it doesn’t look as bad. But the fact is the 1275s have proven to have considerable failure rates.

Your approach is like taking a 6’ Asian guy that knows the game mentally better than anyone else over a pure Athlete. Just because you have the team that has the best basketball IQ doesn’t mean you win championships. It’s actually complete liberal BS that diversity makes a better workforce. There’s actually very very few career fields where that is remotely true, and the vast majority of career fields it’s false and BS. Most career fields the best person for the job has certain criteria, and their race, skin color, sexual orientation, sex, etc. has nothing to do with it.

If I’m in a foxhole surrounded by Al-Qaeda, I don’t want the black chick that got into my squad due to diversity to watch my 6. I want a fricking warrior who was top of the class.
