Officials told the Raus that because Nikita is classified as a minority, she would need to score at least 84.4 to be accepted, while white students needed to score 77 or more.
Both her parents are doctors and she scored a 79. Clearly, by stacking the scores like that they are discriminating.

Setting different scores based on racial/ethnic background is just plain wrong. One standard for everyone. If 77 is good enough to admit a ANY student to the school, she exceeded the requirement.
