Nope. White males are historically over-represented, and therefore should have their grades adjusted down.

proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups

Interestingly, the most historically over-represented group for most of the last 75 years has been Jews, till replaced recently by Asians.

But Jews are still over-represented in elite colleges by 10x to 15x their proportion of the population. So we should cut every Jew's grade significantly.

Actually, we need numerical quotas to ensure Jews don't get into these colleges at rates higher than their proportion of the population. It's only fair.

That’s the funniest thing ever.

Asian students would feel demeaned if they had to be inserted. They are perfectly capable of standing on their own accomplishments..

I agree 100%, Bookman. It’s a racist policy.

Because all it does is continue to perpetuate a negative stereotype.

In fact, I believe that’s the real goal of all AA policies.

exactly, a smart student will simply go to another school rather than have his education diluted by any system that distributes grades according to racial quotas.
