Affirmative action waters down the education system.  It is sending a message to minorities that they are not as smart as the white and Asian students.  They should compete on a level playing field.

Absolutely bull crap. Minority students do not need the world to tell them they can compete. They see that much of Americana is from their cultural legacy.

Affirmative action means you do not get to discriminate against the disadvantage. Also, every metric tells us SAT is cultural and is a predictor of first year viability not graduation potential. The world is a better place when different cultural viewpoints are in the house.

Bullschittttt!!  You DO NOT know what Affirmative Action is.  It is when you lower the admission standards in order to admit minority students so that those students who would not otherwise qualify based on merit would gain a place in the university.

You spill a lot of garbage on this site with a lot of flowery words and you think people are not on to you!!!!!!!!

Minority students are students who are not white. I have seen a lot of Mexicans, Indians and South East Asians getting in universities. Being in the top 10% of your class entitles you for admission.

You obviously do not. It is not a lowering of standards. It is an acknowledgement that some communities are undeserved because of institutional racism and so there should be allocations in  state subsidized schools to reserve a percentage of placement for minorities.

It means that these would otherwise be filled by higher scoring students and those with marginal scores would not get in and often these are students from poor and under-served school systems.  There is no special basket weaving classes afforded them or marking on a curve to keep them in school.

Statistically they graduate in higher percentages than their white counter part. These very schools who do not want to take in these marginal students are the ones who grab up all of the athletes so they can make billions on their backs. Athletes are an example of white discrimination. Minorities  make up most of the traditional sport line up in track and field and also the high income earning basket ball and football squads. They go out of their way to dumb down the curriculum to keep these stutents on the squads yet these very schools complain about reserving placements for other students.

Do you even understand what you just wrote?  It makes absolutely no sense.

Asians are no longer considered a minority in higher education.  In fact, more Asians than whites are admitted to some universities based on merit.  Depending on the school's policy and the percentage of places allocated, most of the affirmative action students end up being black or Hispanic citizens of the USA.  The Nigerian students are right up there with the Asians.  They don't need affirmative action.

I never said that affirmative action does not help minority kids.  I said they should compete on a level playing field.  The better minority kids get the scholarships yes, but they only get it after a quota has been allocated.  So in the end, you get a smart white kid who does not get admitted and an average minority kid who gets admitted.  Is that fair???

You are completely ignorant of what happens. The quota is a reserve placement for a set number of students to come from minority communities. It did not say stupid students. Obviously the best of them gets at these placements. These students all do well and their communities are enriched by it.

Smart white kids can always get into schools. They are better prepared, and from school systems geared to producing good students. That is by itself an white advantage. They are benefiting disproportionately on the nations wealth. Most of these school even the elite ones are state subsidized in instances.

It would be to the detriment of all communities if all the good schools are all white. In time they become deprived of information from the rest of the world any by that deficit become academically poor. These reserved and developmental seats makes for a better more diverse world.

D2 stop talking Shit.  Affirmative Action guarantee seats for a certain number of Blacks regardless of scores.  It is a lowering of the standards and the justification is history of oppression for Black Americans.  And Black from other contries like Guyana benefits eventhough they were the oppressors.  This takes away from those Blacks who makes it fair and square as everyone assumes they are beneficiaries of A A.

Listen D(unce) 2.

Seats are finite. Larger populations mean there are larger supply of excellent students. Institutional race based advantages further serve to stack the deck in their favor. It means that if there are no reserved seats the elite schools would be all white. It then mean the elite schools would be under served.

And not all high scoring minority student wants to go to white elite schools. Most want to go to historical black schools where their college experience would be culturally more fulfilling. Every black person who is who want their child to go to under graduate at Howard, Morehouse Meharry, Chaney, Texas southern etc.

The  creation of developmental programs and reserved seats for minority students is advantageous to these universities in that it brings a diverse point of view to the student body. The pool of minority students from these institutions are dispersed across the world creating information networks that benefit the universities.

One of the remarkable thing about going to Howard is one can meed a Tibetan student or a Navajo or a Yoruba, or an Algerian or a Frenchman. It is said if you sing the fight song in any capital someone will answer back. There is value in such interconnections. It truly makes for a world community of intellectual cooperation and information sharing and accretion.

D2 is correnct of the purpose and intent of Affirmative Action but Bibi is correct, it waters down the educational system by lowering standards to meet a quantative outcome.  Many White and Asian/Indian students are sidelined so Blacks (with lower scores) can get the reserved places. d2 talk aaa lotttt of shyte to confuse the issue and hope to win by a "war of attrition"!

Sir, there were no special courses in physics at university of Pennsylvanian for minority students. No special Mathematics class was set up for them. The university has great support system beyond what a regular CUNY school may have so the student excels. It is community that produces excellence.

These universities have their inherent problems. They are filled by upper class so their social and cultural focus are different. One can easily feel out of place because what is normal for them is not normal for the average student. Some students suffer alienation. They have a special name for them "imposters".

This is not only a minority experience but a poor white experience. Many drop out not for lack of ability but for sense of disconnection with the social ethos. Minority students are a great benefit to places like these. They do not dumb down the place but increment its cultural experience. There is no war to win. There is just the truth to be told. No elite school is made poorer by the presence of minorities.

I have never seen a historically black college that is "ghetto" and I have visited many of them. That is pure nonsense. To the contrary, if you go to these schools you are in a relentless cultural content stream. Howard which I know is fashion runway any day. It is as far from the ghetto as you can get. These are reservoirs of creativity in every hallway. Practically every black person you can see in the media came from one of these schools.

Look the kid grew up with being mixed and it can be a culture shock to be with all of his own.

I heard Guyanese Indian doctors who went to study in India echoed the similar sentiments, not about Ghetto , but too many of one.

Chief, you are a blasted liar. Stop making up story to impress people.

Most Black immigrants, including Guyanese, prefer their kids attend White/Asian majority schools.  I dont blame them, standards are usually higher.
