think about this scenario, your kid who has 2300+ SAT score, top 1% ranking with all the leadership, extra curriculums didn't get into a school he/she applied and another kid has a 1900+ SAT, ranked only top 15% without any other things got in just because he/she is black. When your kids was crying and asking you if this is fair, how would you feel?
If life, you don't feel bad if you give your 100% and lost to a better candidate. But you do feel violated if you lost because your color of skin!
Glad your kids are still young, hopfully, if we keep fighting this and they don't have worry about the affirmative action whey they apply their schools and jobs. |
