| Someone asked me if I got into a college simply because I was black, would that be fair.
I say that I hope my credentials speak for me. Also, I think that if I was really looking forward to getting there, I would be happy no matter what regardless of the reason. I would say that affirmative action programs are good for those who want to get help, that's what they are there for. Some programs and scholarships are there for you no matter what race you are. There are some for Asian students, some for Arabian or Middle Eastern students, etc. By focusing on black students, I think it sort of borders on prejudice |
