Well, that's only right, kingbee, since blacks only comprise about 17% of the population. Why
should they be 'given' 50% of admissions to anything?
I mean given literally, too, even if that result is achieved through subterfuge, like the dumbing down of tests and other entry requirements until such a result is achieved.
Far too many people have confused 'equal opportunity' with equal
results. When we start fiddling with results, the opportunities are no longer equal at all, but skewed to ensure the equality of results.
My guess is that in order for UCLA to have bragging rights for GRADUATING a 17% figure for African Americans, they had to have an admission rate of 50%. There's nothing equal about this, and I'm glad they put a stop to the practice.
In my opinion, the problem starts with the low quality of PUBLIC education available to blacks raised in low income areas, we need school choice, we need to hold our educators accountable for their dismal results, and we need to abolish their leftist dominated unions that have brought so much misery to the very people who vote them into office on empty promises.
Of course, the left HAS to maintain a permanent underclass in America, who else would vote for them?
