There will become a point when we no longer enable those of color to be considered a victim; however, this movement is still a ways off.

I can tell you there are numerous opportunities (unfair and fair) that allow people of color to obtain a college education and about the only thing that is required id desire. It is the same thing that is required of any youth wanting to advance.

WTS, John Roberts is one of the more (most) open-minded Justices in the Court and he voted that this discrimination should be allowed and in the larger scheme it probably impacts very few.

Racist?  Or discriminatory?

I think using just grades is just as discriminatory.

I knew many kids who got so-so grades that excelled once they could focus on their major.

Many smart kids can't take tests well.  One of my best friends in high school scored 100's of points below me on the SAT's and I never took a course to prepare for them and almost slept in the day of the test.  But he is MUCH smarter than me to this day.  So if schools just looked at test results and nothing else it would discriminating against those who can do well in all other aspects of education.

If schools want to give those who are on the outside looking in a chance based on their race so be it.  If they are deliberately no allowing others in just to let those people in that would be more wrong in my book.
