Affirmative Action

I actually agree, which is why I didn't know why silver called the OP a fucking pig.

The only thing that really pisses me off is college acceptance. In some of the more prestigous colleges, where the ranking system, which is based on courses taken, extracurricular activites, test scores, etc. is sometimes very close to either getting accepted or not, or to determine how much of a scholarship you get, white people are actually at a handicap.

This is completely hypothetical, and I'm making up the numbers, but I know the percentage basis is somewhat correct. For example, if a white student gets a 1400 on their SAT's, they may get something like 100 points on the ranking system. Now, if a black student, applying to the same school gets a 1000 on the SAT's and has all the same credetials as the white student, the black student will get accepted to the school because of a technicality. That being, they got extra points for being black, and that is bullshit.

All-in-all, AA is horseshit, and shouldn't even exist anymore. At one point I must admit that it helped, but now it is getting out of control.
