I think people should get in on their merit rather than their race. There are many white, black, Asian, Indian, and Hispanics (did I leave anyone out?) that are extremely smart. I went to school with a lot of them. I don't understand why race has to be an issue. If a white man has a 35 ACT score and a 4.0 GPA, but a black man has a 30-something-less-than-35 and a 3.9, then is it really fair to let them in on the basis that they are a minority?
I have heard some arguments that minorities don't get the same education as whites, but what would happen if it was the white man who went to a "lower" school and the minority man went to the higher school? It still doesn't get reversed. I hope what I said makes sense, cuz I'm not sure how to get across what I'm thinking.
