Topic	SAT's Now To Grade Students Based On "Privilege"
JanwayDaahl 05/19/19 4:15:30 AM #39:	JTekashiro posted... JanwayDaahl posted... So basically another form of affirmative action pushed by leftists to justify racist and classist admissions. Blaqthourne posted... It'd be intersting to see what happens if all the "privileged" kids all decide to only take the ACT. I've known adcoms my entire life, and they're very sneaky people. If they see that you took the ACT, and interview you, they'll try to suss you out and assign some BS like a "personality score" that takes into account that you're probably from a privileged background. Basically insidious tactics to circumvent being called out for the racists/sexists/classists that leftist adcoms usually are. Right, affirmative action is racist, makes sense. The significant factual statistics highlighting the inordinate amount of difficulties racial minorities experience only point to one thing - the lack of systemic racism. Affirmative action is just giving racial minorities MORE handouts, amirite? There are 1,0001 problems with what you're saying. The problems you're talking about are largely antiquated (systemic racism), and in the context of contemporary representation, it often has more to do with certain racial groups simply scoring better, on average, than other racial groups. Asians are the prime example to use here because their parents often come from poor backgrounds, yet they do well in spite of these circumstances. Yet people like you want to be blatantly racist by discriminating against them simply because they were born a different race than others, and managed to do better on their own merit. Also, you have no way of proving how disadvantaged one kid is compared to another. You're just making a sweeping platitude based on race. For all you know the hispanic kid you're giving an advantage to grew up with loving parents who gave him a good environment to foster educational growth compared to the white kid who, in spite of being richer or more "priveleged" on paper, had a shitty upbringing. --- I do not support homosexuality in any way. <cite>JanwayDaahl posted [p:922086487] in SAT's ...
