Court may limit Universities' use of race in college decisions

Race should not be a factor

Race should still be a factor

5

I'm completely for ending all of this racial bull crap. A lot of universities today will pick a minority who has worse grades than a white male simply because they're a minority. It's ironic that people say that they're not racist when they still practice racist things. I mean I get why affirmative action was instated in the 70s, but now we don't need it because the vast majority of America is not racist anymore. Well, at least towards minorities. The very fact that most colleges select candidates based on their race tells me that we are still very racist, just in a different way. Do you agree?

    I'm pretty sure this applies to genders as well. Any university with a majority of male students, however slim, will be open to criticism over selective recruiting policies. Returning to races, the university I attend gives full-fee paying scholarships to Aboriginal people who obtain scores of 90 or higher - whereas for the rest of the population, it's a 99.90 final score to enter.
