It should be completely blind to race. If you are qualified you get in.

yeah I don't like this bill @earlten1511

That is true equality

no, that isn't, because the minorities have a harder time getting to the point of being a good candidate

well, specific minorities I should say

if it is blind to race, it is blind to the likelihood that a person has had a uniquely difficult experience getting to where they are

So people should be treated differently based on their race?

I would obviously prefer it be blind to race, it shouldn't matter, but it does

well, are we talking about college admissions? because I am

Yes

then yes, people should be treated differently based on their race

And could you please define racism in your own words?

because their race is part of their experience in America, and colleges want people with diverse and compelling experiences

think my coils burnin. damn.

Put some ice on it

Oh crap liberals want that banned

Yeah: institutional racism is the imbalance of treatment to one particular demographic or race with the intent of continuing or creating a power imbalance through statutes, rules, and codes that do not necessarily specify race but which have an effect regardless. That is the definition of racism I have been using.

we want ice banned? lol

Liberals shouldn't be trying to abolish ice. The right is doing that well enough with the ice caps. liberals should be trynna save it. D:

ohhh ice lol

hahahaha

lol, it's a joke on ICE.

yee yee

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

I try to keep an eye open and I realize, I haven't closed my eyes in a long time.

This is the real definition

no dude, they're both definitions

Notice the “prejudice”

and they have different situations that are important

By denying whites that is technically prejudice

yes, you're right

but the power imbalance is not in that direction

Does this mean you are okay with racial prejudice?

Depends, again, on the power imbalance

that's what I keep saying

Can blacks be racist towards whites?

again, depends on the definition of racism

and the situation

black people trying to get the same opportunities as whites by getting some extra help is far from being racist towards whites

because of...again...the power imbalance that has endured centuries in america

I think anyone who shows they could really succeed in college should be admitted, and if someone who shows they will succeed is not admitted, that's sorta wrong. But, I think the ones being weighed in the issue of race are the ones mostly who show they "may." The lower end of the admittance pool. Am I wrong in this assumption?
