Topic	SAT's Now To Grade Students Based On "Privilege"

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? It is racist, how is it not? I don't understand dumbass liberals that think racism is ok if it is positive The only thing that should matter is merit, the best person for the job should get the job regardless of race, the best students should get into schools regardless of their race, etc. You are right, the only thing that should matter is merit. Except people's lives don't exist is some kind of vacuum free of society. An individual's merit must be determined in our highly radicalized society - one that sees minorities accepted in universities at lower rates, graduate at lower rates, and otherwise struggle to engage with Eurocentric education systems that sit in racially divided society. We agree that the only thing that is important is a student's merit. You just seem to think white people getting advantages in white-dominated society isn't connected to race when, statistically, we have proven otherwise. It is funny that you advocate for equality in education yet you ignore what any respectable leading academic is saying. The only people saying affirmative action isn't correcting a historical wrong are racists who operate at the fringe of their discipline. <cite>JTekashiro posted [p:922135428] in SAT's ...
