Racism, black or white is wrong (contrary to the view of President Obama)--no one should get into college because of their race and no one should be kept out of college due to their race. If you put someone in college because of their race, that means you are keeping someone out, due to race.
"Here are the facts: The number of minority admissions to the University of California for this fall without the benefit of preferences exceeds that of 1996, in absolute numbers and, more important, as a percentage of all "admits." The numbers are, in almost every category, quite staggering.
Latino students have gone from 15.4% (5,744 students) of freshman undergraduate admissions in 1996 to 23% (14,081) in 2010 (a 145% increase). Asian students have gone from 29.8% (11,085) of the freshman admits to 37.47% (22,877). Native American admits have declined slightly, from 0.9% to 0.8%, but their absolute number increased, from 360 to 531. African American admits have gone from 4% (1,628) to 4.2% (2,624), a modest gain in percentage but nearly a 50% increase in numbers of freshmen admitted.
The only major category that declined in percentage terms was whites, who went from 44% (16,465) of the freshmen admits to 34% (20,807)."
Remember, the last remnant of racism is government. Government allows it, enforced it, and now, after the people said no; government wants to return to the politics of George Wallace--shame on their bigoted souls.
