It doesn't work. Now I know the majority of the people on here are probably black, African-American, whatever. But what I'm trying to see is that ifyou guys who are black agree with me; I don't think it should be allowed.
It isn't a case about being fair, but I think it is about not being the right thing to be implemented. While I do agree that it is beneficial for blacks toget scholarship funds if they have a lower income, does it make sense to statistically allow a person who has had a lower score that another person who had abetter score into college? It is the school system that should be changed if anything. They are the ones that are preparing whatever race attends that schoolfor college; Every student should correlate with their college not by skin and diversity, but by their knowledge. I don't think affirmative action doesthat. I don't like how the truly gifted black students I know of are being cheated out of how smart they really are, and getting scholarships based offtheir skin color, not their educated merit, when a white student who isn't black, Asian, or hispanic, but does just as well in school doesn't receiveany scholarship for their diversity.
Do you mind that you were picked by a good college because you're Black, Asian, or Hispanic? Or would you felt better that you were accepted because youwere smart?
I just thought about this today and wanted to know if this board would agree. All opinions are welcome, I want to see some thoughts.
