This seems to be forbidden to say, but for all intents and purposes, “diverse” means “not white”.

- AussieWog93 4y agoNot sure why this was downvoted. Asians get discriminated against even harder than whites when applying for elite universities.
- balls187 4y agoCertain asians (Chinese and Indians descent), are over represented in elite universities, so yes, students of those origins face more competition, than say students who are Native American (who are very poorly represented at elite schools).
- 31337Logic 4y agoExcept it doesn't seem to mean that (at least not anymore). Hence the exasperated comments you are reading on this very thread. All people (including whites and heterosexual males) can be the targets of negative discrimination. No one wants to see themselves or their kids be intentionally disadvantaged based solely on the colour of their skin or their sexuality. Any attempt to create ANY exception to this rule is disingenuous and does nothing but further damage the very thing you claim to be trying to resolve.
- prepend 4y agoEvery not white parent I’ve met is concerned with their kid’s future- what job, what education, what marriage, etc. I’ve met a lot of people from different backgrounds and one thing I notice is how much we have in common. I worked with people who make less than a few dollars a day in developing nations and it was interesting how the parent stories are almost the same. Pictures of kids and grandkids. Stories about successful kids. Plans for kids to have education and jobs. The scale varies but the concerns are very similar.
