To jubilence, who obviously saw the first few lines of my post and jumped to conclusions, i'd like to ask where I said all minorities are admitted because a white kid got screwed. This will probably take you a while, considering I didn't say it, nor did I even come remotely close to implying it. Better luck next time.

However, the majority of qualified applicants applying to good schools are white. Likewise, the majority of qualified applicants getting rejected are white. The simple fact is that affirmative action has kept white applicants from being accepted. The question is whether less qualified minorities have been given their "spot." I imagine the answer is yes,

Are you sure you didn't come close to implying it? The above shows that you said that you think less qualified minorities have been given the spots that would have went to qualified applicants who are white.

Try again.
