- johntiger1 3y agoAgreed. For one thing, "race" buckets are far too broad. "Asian" is a term that represents ~60% of the world population, lumping countries as diverse as Indonesia, North Korea, Bangladesh and Kazahkstan together.
- olliej 3y agoSo you also agree legacy admissions should be banned? that schools should be funded based on number of students not wealth or race of the neighborhood? that college prep programs should be made available to everyone?
- throwawaymobule 3y agoI don't think paying your way into collage has anything to do with being a protected class. Not familiar with the US university system, but aren't these institutions run independent of the government?
- johntiger1 3y agoYep, legacy admissions are not great, but it's an orthogonal issue.
- lockhouse 3y agoI’m ok with literally all of that.
