So to give you guys a little background, out of high school I was offered a partial athletic scholarship for football. This scholarship was to a private university that was very expensive and I decided to pursue and after spending a semester/season there I figured that it wasn't for me and transferred back to a community college near home to save money and eventually transfer out. I continued to play football and I carried a 3.8 gpa where I was put on the "dean's list".. fast forward to present day and it's the time where you're hearing back from universities on whether or not you got in. I live in California and applied to 6 California universities for a Finance Major while carrying this 3.8 gpa and doing sports, which for those of you who don't know elevates you because it shows you can handle a significant workload. Today I heard back from the last school I applied to and the count ended up with 3 acceptances and 3 rejections. I was surprised because usually the people in my range get accepted to these schools. After doing some research I was astonished to see that I had friends who got into these schools who went to the same school as me who had GPA's lower than 3.2.. but here's the catch, they were all "minorities". To essentially summarize, these people got in because their race was different. They were carrying a significantly lower GPA than me and some were even missing some of their pre-requisites. I am just one example of how white people are put at a DISADVANTAGE these days. It goes from schools to jobs of almost any field simply because of color. People who talk about white privilege these days are the biggest morons because it's the exact opposite, minorities are getting special privileges that white people like me aren't able to get. Everyone talks about fairness and how it's unfair that white people get these so called "privileges", man fuck that, why is it fair that these people who don't work nearly as hard as I do get rewarded for their half ass efforts? This goes in all fields of employment as well, someone who's black or hispanic will always get priority over someone that's white simply because they need "variety" and to show they're not racist REGARDLESS of that fact that the white person is more qualified for the position.*

But yeah, sorry about the rant, I just needed to get it out as it's been bothering me for a while. Whats your opinion on this topic?

you didn't know the popular schools will take lower grade average minorities? it makes them look more diverse and get grants and stuff from the goverment

I knew affirmative action existed prior to this, it's just my mind was blown to see how much more "cushion" these people get. My gripe is the fact that all these minorities bitch about how they're being put down and white people get all these amenities when it's literally the exact opposite.. these minorities practically get a free ride from all the grants and shit they get from the government in addition to just having priority and yet they just continue to bitch. It just boggles my mind..

OP got into the school and is still mad wut

The UK is suppose to be moving towards anonymous applications for things like this so hopefully that should fix the problem. Frankly it disgusts me anyway that these forms ask you to identify your ethnicity, gender etc. it should be purely based on, merit and achievement alone so the best and brightest are able to succeed for the work they've put in.

There will never be a truly "anonymous" application. Place will still have to ask for household income and location of the applicant and that will be factored in as well. Then they will priorities families with low income or living in worse neighborhoods which still puts the person more qualified for the position at a disadvantage. This whole movement for "equity" is just a bunch of bullshit because it's the opposite.

Wait until you have an 810 FICO score, get paid great and have a steady source of income, and apply for a loan for 25% of a vehicle and get denied because you don't have enough credit experience. This isn't directly related to race but just people who somehow get large loans, at astronomical interest rates, with an unsteady job making minimum wage, and little to no down payment. That's the shit that drives me insane. And I know a few of them personally.
