But that's the thing. I know that there are minority students who worked just as hard and deserve to be there, but there are many people who will assume that. (I'm trying to argue with one of the most racist transplant-Southerner I know about this whole prop 2 thing... he is one of those people) I just thought that it would eliminate that assumption and be fair to those getting rejected because of the "quota".
Are white students ever concerned that people will assume they were admitted based on "race, class, or athletic prowess", rather than merit? If your last name is Bush, for example, do you care that everyone assumes you made it based on your family's connections??
