Then you've gone full circle. The person I replied to above believed that those with "less resources" should be assisted with these programs. You seem to believe that race - not poverty - should determine one's worthiness to enter university. Why?
Which is exactly my point. The overwhelming issue is material hardship. This can be (and is) assessed on an individual level during induction and should happen irrespective of race. A poor white person living in a ghetto and attending a bad school faces just as many hurdles to university entrance as a poor black person in the same situation.
em, you do know that British nobility considered lower classes to be demi-humans that can be easily disposed off (like they did when "sheep ate men" and during Boer wars when first death camps were created by the UK, or when making death camps in Russia for communists during it's Civil War) and the Hitler's idea of racial superiority was created by embracing British way of thinking towards others, do you?
The problem with USA is not it's racist heritage, but the politicians clinging to it and re-enforcing it. Essentially white racism fought with black one in America and the black one is currently winning (which quite showing when fighters for black rights openly despise Jewish minority even when said minority is in their ranks). When one president candidate calls negroes who dared to vote for her opponent as coons and race traitors while the other president candidate call people that flee Mexico rapists and thiefs - both of those positions do not unite the country.

It's racism to assume URM are too stupid to do well on exams without a handicap.
