So to help fight discrimination, elite colleges now seem to discriminate heavily against Asians and poor white people. I don’t know how that’s supposed to help fight discrimination, but people who run elite colleges don’t have a reputation of being very smart so they’re probably just confused about things like what racial discrimination. You see, it’s not enough for an applicant to be really smart for a Harvard applicant if that person is an Asian; then he needs to be compared against his own race and has to be smart for an Asian. With white people, colleges favor those with money to pay for the poor people of other races they bring in. Also, they don’t like the wrong kind of white people, like those in ROTC or 4-H clubs. This would look like obvious racial discrimination to most people, but again the faculty of elite colleges tend to have problems with simple concepts. We really need some sort of educational program to teach them not to treat people like Crayola crayons and that they need to focus on more than just getting balanced set of all colors. Colleges need to look at the content of people’s character instead of grouping everyone into races and discriminating. And if maybe colleges had a bit more intellectual diversity, they might not have developed their racist problem in the first place because then there might have been a few people to say, “Hey! No! Bad!” In the end, it’s up to all of us to educate college professors.
What I fear is that the only way we are really going to be able to finally end this discrimination is by making it worse before it gets better. In other words, someone is going to have to start obviously discriminating in favor of whites and against others – say, by creating a scholarship fund only for white students. And, of course, our liberal friends will cry “that’s racist, that’s unjust.” And we’ll say “indeed it is. So is what you are doing. Let us all agree to stop this nonsense together.”
But obviously nobody wants to start a whites-only scholarship fund, for the simple fact that it really would be wrong.
Doesn’t such discrimination seem to be implicit admission that Asians and poor whites are intrinsically “smarter” than the other races? R–r—ra…er, wait, they define those bounds.
Seems to me that if colleges weren’t racist, they would have no clue as to the race of their applicants.
Colleges are racist.
Anyone else find it funny that they need to know the race of the applicant in order to ensure that no race is given preference over another?
I’ve got two (white) nieces fresh out of college. My sister is now a hundred grand in debt just so her daughters can say “white people” with the same contempt that most folks would reserve for child molesters. Mission accomplished.
Uh….Frank…. How do you expect racial equality to happen if you don’t divide everyone up into little groups and then treat them differently according to race?
Geeeeezzz, it’s like you think that you can treat everyone the same and solve the issue…
I know someone who is in a 4-H club for shooting sports and is considering ROTC. What a good cracker!
Um, what else is new? Has anyone had an interesting conversation lately with a recent college graduate? What a sad and frustrating experience. Wanted to get a rope and hang myself.
They still have colleges? Why? There are no jobs, so for $100,000 you basically get a piece of paper, suitable for framing.
Or a piece of paper to wipe your butt on.
They re-named a lot of streets and stuff to remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr., but no one seems to have remembered his dream that someday people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. We’re going backwards. What’s the opposite of progress? Oh, yeah: congress.
And here I thought the whole idea of college was to educate people who wanted to be educated. Silly me. Of course basing admissions on talent, intelligence and character is so 1776.
You know I get really tired of hearing how dumb the American student is in comparison to the average European or Asian student . What the loony left doesn’t tell you and the Europeans keep quiet about is, they don’t educate everyone. If by the time you’re 15-16 years old you’re not making the grade out you go. Get a job, become a government worker bee, or TV talking head or reality TV star. We here in the US educate everyone who’s willing to stay in school. That my friends is why we “lag” behind. We don’t believe in throw away people, at least most of us don’t. Too bad so many parents seem to.

Even our weaknesses reveal our strengths!
