@SadGurl2K16@TheSWDiva It’s in the post Elle. He describes the kid, you can think he’s lying or the whole story is fake if you want, but clearly it struck a nerve because you and I both know he’s describing a common phenomenon.
The point of his post is that one kid who was not exceptional was treated as exceptional. And in truth he was, the exception being his skin color. You can say that op is racist but this is an explicit fact that the standards are lower for black people, whether or not this vague case was an example of that. We all can see this clearly even if you wish we couldn’t. Frankly, thinking that black people need lower standards is racist. So do the work on your racism Elle.
@SadGurl2K16 I like how I can read through your replies and see you going through the same goal post shifting as the other morons. Sorry people are now able to openly say the emperor has not clothes and y’all’s race based policies are psychotic
@SadGurl2K16@TheSWDiva Hey Elle I’m not the one advocating for race based admissions, like you are. It doesn’t bother me what the the group make up is, as long as it’s race isn’t a criteria for admission.
Here’s a way that we can make sure that no one racistly assumes it was because of race. Do not make race a selection criteria. In fact, make applicants color blind. End affirmative action. Then we’ll know that any student in any Ivy is there purely on merit. But I’m guessing you don’t want that.
@closetedomarap1@miriodere@SadGurl2K16 Swing and a miss! I’ll help you out. It is not a good or moral policy.
Yes and the whole reason we’re talking right now is because that assumption is often true and it’s a hot button issue that people who prefer that policy don’t want to discuss.
@closetedomarap1@miriodere@SadGurl2K16 Hey bud let me pitch this one real slow over the plate and see if you can hit it: is it morally acceptable for a school to prioritize certain skin colors over others?
It’s insane y’all’s brains won’t even let you digest what he’s saying. It’s like I’m talking to the westworld robots “doesn’t look like anything to me”. The fact some white people are accepted in some schools wouldn’t disprove his point. He’s saying this data set, the person chosen only exceptional quality was their skin color.
@miriodere@closetedomarap1@SadGurl2K16 Yes, he's making a casual observation. The reason it went viral and we are talking about it is bc it's an unignorable phenomenon that is backed up by stats. And it's ugly. And the people who support it don't want to acknowledge it. And it's coming to a boiling point.
@miriodere@closetedomarap1@SadGurl2K16 No, the implication is that the standards for getting in to Ivies change based on skin color. He explicitly said this student was not a better student than the others that were denied.
@DJportapotty@SadGurl2K16 Of course you do, that's the whole point OP was making. Jamal with a 5.0 GPA from the hood who still only got a 1180 on the SAT gets into an Ivy. There's a reason.
@GeorgeJourneys "My children and their peers are not given the same chance as others in their peer group explicitly because of their skin color"
"lmao you're poor"
Obviously this randos 1 high school story is a small sample size. But he’s describing a phenomenon that is becoming unignorible, that is backed up by explicit policies and stats. And yet there is group of people when you bring this up are quick to say that it’s not happening and if it is happening it’s a good thing and you’re racist for noticing that it’s happening. It’s almost like it’s a black eye on their entire worldview.
@SVB_CIO@mahasr199 You and op are both sidestepping the very obvious observation being made by oop. It’s like the west world “ doesn’t look like anything to me”
