I've been busy with real life shit, but good lord, this thread became a total shit show.

It's about raising minorities up and helping people who have been discriminated for decades, centuries and even millennia. White people complaining about another race getting a better chance is fucking hilarious. Laughable, like I can't stop myself.
Once enough are in higher education, races that have been historically discriminated can move up in the class system and move into the middle class. Why is there a large amount of black people living in poverty, or a vast majority in prisons? Because they were discriminated against, by who? White people. You complaining about getting into a school, that you still got into, is the definition of white privilege and victimisation. While you're getting into school, having a comfy life, police have been gunning down innocent black people because they were black, and getting away with it. You're the kind of person holding back other races.
After enough time, minorities will become more educated because of programs like this, crimes will go down, salaries will go up, quality of life will go up.
Ben, your posts are literally visual cancer. This is the last time I reply to you in any sort of discussion as you've lost all possible credibility.

Uni's/Colleges don't give a fuck about students kek they care about they money they make and how good they look as a uni with diversity and shit..
You are a lil hoe
Again, you've missed the point. This thread isn't about me getting accepted or rejected, I'm just a mere single example of thousands of other people that are put in these positions. You and Ronye just can't handle a thought process that requires to look at something that's not face-value.

So basically you are assuming that they got in because of their race haha do you know it for a fact? No. Also remember not just one person accepts people into a college...and those people have different standards of who's allowed in. Also they could of gotten in because of who they know. PLEASE STOP THROWING THE RACE CARD ITS SO ANNOYING ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S NO PROOF.
How are you going to argue that there's no proof when there's literally a law saying minorities get priority as far as college application? How much clearer proof do you need? And like Oneup said, it's funny that as soon as a white person brings up inequality for whites that it's racist bullshit but for the past couple decades everyone that's not been white has been dropping the race card for all sorts of shit but it flies because it's "racist" to disagree with.. again it's funny how that double standard works.

lol are you one of those white people that says mexicans are stealing their jobs, but yet you will never work in construction. You dont know what hard work is m9. Once you work 15 hour shifts 6 days a week in rain or shine, then i will belive you "work hard". You complaining about this just proves that you think you are better. Instead of complaining and bitching, keep "working hard" and take it as motivation. There will always be someone that is more privilaged. In life it isnt about your education, its who you know in life. You could hav a 4.0 gpa and not get into harvard. But a kid with 3.0 gpa with a rich daddy that knows powerful people will get in. Education does help, but isnt really necessary. Work for your shit and dont expect hand outs.
Chill vato, no one was talking about illegals and hispanics. That's a whole different story. I'm keeping a level playing field and talking about legal citizens of all color: hispanic, black, native american, etc.. How does me saying that I'm better qualified, which is PROVEN ON PAPER, make me think I am better than any one else? This has nothing to do with them as people, I'm not saying hispanics or blacks are shitty people and I'm better than them because they're getting this help.. I'm saying that it's bullshit that people are trying to work for "fairness" and "equality" when is clearly evident that it isn't a level playing field at all. If I've worked harder in school, which is reflected through my GPA and classes I've taken, does that not mean that I am more qualified to get that position when compared to someone who's GPA is lower? I'd think that's just common sense..
As far as knowing people, sure, that's a fair argument but that only applies to small amount of people. Just to put it into perspective, I applied to San Diego State University and they had over 80k applications for about 7k spots. Less than 1% of those people who got there, got in through solely off of connections.
Lastly, you talked about hand outs. So you're saying I'm expecting a hand out because I'm pissed that I've outworked someone on paper and they got that opportunity that I've outworked them for? That's some of the dumbest shit I've read on here. How is it a hand out when you've out worked someone?
