Welcome, Guest!

Devin, I meant a mostly Asian and White school. You are right that I should be more careful, but I also think that the small typo was a miniscule part of my point. Rather, I was discussing the need for affirmative action as a filter through which we must look at the applications of whites and minorities. It is not impossible for a minority student to do better on a standardized test than a white student. But, if one looks at general trends, then one will find that white students often do better than minorities. That is an unfortunate truth. But rather than be in denial about it, we should try to find a remedy and provide more minorities with a better education and more resources.
