I don't think that's the case. Name a university where they ask for diversity essays in order to reduce the percentage of whites. The reverse is often true. For example, many universities use it to control asian population.
- eweise 4y agoWell, same thing really. They are asking a general diversity question in order to get more info about your cultural background.
- EarlKing 4y agoAh, so it's not racist because it only discriminates against the non-majority portion of the proletariat. How very bougie of you. The fact that you don't see that as a problem tells me all I need to know.
- petilon 4y agoI didn't say it is not racist, and I didn't say it is not a problem. Public universities, especially, must use objective criteria. Students need to be able to control their own destiny through hard work. That's a basic principle of fairness that should apply in this land of opportunity. No "shaping" of the student body by universities that receive funding from taxpayers, because that is unfair to students. Imagine being denied admission by the only good public university in your state, not because your grades or test scores are not good enough, but because you didn't fit in whatever "shape" the university decided is appropriate for that year!
