To state the truly obvious, if being of a certain race helps some applicants' chances, it hurts applicants who are not of the favored races. Do they think we are idiots?

This actually is a zero sum game. If they gain, I have to lose.

The universities insist it is better for them and for the nation if they discriminate to foster greater racial ans sexual diversity.
I believe they and the nation are better off if the spaces available are filled based upon actual merit.

Harvard is not discriminating because of race. It discriminates against people with certain names.

I guess logic isn’t a strong point of academicians these days.

Race can’t hurt, unless you are white or Asian American.

Oh they most certainly do. The only other option is that they actually believe what they are saying. That’s an even more frightening thought.

College bound Asians have been discriminated against by California Universities and Cal State Universities for decades going back to the 1960’s.

Unless you're white.
If there are X number of seats and Y applicants and X=Y-Z(who dont make the cut), then race WILL harm someone's chances all other things being equal.
Why is logic so hard for these idiotic college writers??

...race is just one factor thats considered and can only help a students chances of getting admitted. Even if your race is "white"?

pre-WWII the Ivies discriminated strongly against Jewish applicants by saying they favored certain “character” traits which just happened to be found much more among WASPy prep school applicants. They wanted to be sure to keep down the numbers of those unwelcome nerdy Jewish kids, which is quite analogous to what they have now been doing to Asian-American kids for generations: pretending that highly qualified applicants are “too academic” and not “well rounded” enough for the Ivy League.... gee, maybe they should take more of those bright promising Asian-American kids and help them to further their educations....

A lie. They use race to determine who is admitted. The only reason why they admit Whites is for THEIR MONEY! Somebody has to pay the tuition for those specially-privileged individuals who don’t pay tuition.

In a closed system like admissions, anything that helps one person’s admission hurts another’s.
