‘That’s just code for saying he got into law school because he’s black.”
Please allow me to break the code for you.
Actually, I think Buckwheat survived and graduated law school because he’s black.
I need additional evidence before I would take a stab at how this criminal got into Hawvaarrd in the first place.
“To have the same chance of gaining admission as a black student with a SAT score of 1100, a Hispanic student otherwise equally matched in background characteristics would have to have 1230, a white student a 1410, and an Asian student a 1550.”
These numbers are from before they added a writing section to the test, when the range was from 400 to 1600, and the mean score about 1000.
This brings up the question of who is the racist? What criterion other than racism prevents the child of a Korean immigrant from being admitted to Harvard, despite straight A's and a 1540 SAT score, because his spot was taken by a kid whose parents came from Kenya (and whose ancestors thus never suffered under slavery) and who managed to get B's in high school and an SAT score of 1100. In other words, black skin gets a 440 point advantage over yellow skin.
Would it be racist for me to notice that the doctor who is scheduled to do complicated surgery on me or my loved one is Black, and might have gotten into and through med school with a wink and a nod? Would I feel more comfortable if he were Asian? The quick answer to the last question is yes. That does not make me a racist. If the average time in the 40 yard dash for black cornerbacks is 4.4 seconds, and the average for white cornerbacks is 6.4 seconds, yet the NFL mandated that every team must have one starting cornerback of each ethnicity, which one would I want to have covering my fastest receiver? That's not racist--it's common sense and basic math.
