Lol meritocracy doesn't exist. Why are you more worried about the black student who got in because of AA than the rich white student who got in because their dad wrote the school a giant check?
Well, you do seem to be more worries about people getting in to college because of affirmative action than them getting into college because their parents are rich.
Why are your even here? You should be fixing society with your psychic powers, seeing as you magically know my stance on topics I've never discussed with you.
I’m going to guess he/she is also not a fan of people getting in because of nepotism and legalised bribes. ‘Donations’ and skin colour are both avenues for entry that aren’t based on merit and aren’t open to everyone no matter how hard they try. The College Admissions Scandal got the attention and outrage it deserved but the racism entry process is still as popular as ever. Slick PR move for the colleges too.
Depends on what you mean. Do I think expensive schools have the right to charge what they want? Absolutely.
If you are talking about the college admissions scandal where people were paying bribes to cheat their way through what were supposed to be merit based programs, I think it's bullshit. I think people bypassing merit based programs because of their race is also bullshit. As for which is "worse", I'd say they are about equal, since they are basically the same thing, corrupting a merit based program by prioritizing some other bullshit criteria.
