@gevansmd1 If a person can't fulfil the academic obligations that a university requires, for ANY reason, they shouldn't be taking spots from those who can. Study harder and try again next year. If they are capable, they will make it. If not, there are always other options. Community college or trade schools can give you the background to have a good successful life. You're NOT a failure if you can't go to Harvard. Qualifications first, anything and everything else is not to be considered and shouldn't be.

@gevansmd1 You make it sound SO nice. However, it's complete nonsense. Harvard is a school for the best minds in America. Period. If they add spots, it's called increasing enrollment and they still should go to the best minds that apply. When you add a spot and say it's ONLY available to a certain race, you're discriminating against ALL other races. That goes against the Civil Rights Act and that Act is explicit on what constitutes discrimination based on race, religion, gender, etc. If schools are failing in their education mandates....FIX it. Don't discriminate based on race in education. Do what's necessary in those schools, so the children can have as good an education as others do. We force our kids to go to school and then refuse to give them all same academic environments. Support the political candidates who would do that. Our primary and high schools are at the heart of discrimination based on race and you're proposing to fix it by discriminating in universities and not bothering a failed education system. What a horrible way of doing things.

@gevansmd1 Then FIX the political system that seemingly REFUSES to improve the quality of education of the inner city schools. Don't discriminate against those, the Asians as an example, who are not at fault for the discriminating attitudes of those who are in charge of education. Your plan is to fix discrimination, based on race, is to discriminate based on race. Asians are wealthier because they study and work harder and make wise life decisions. Japanese Americans lost everything, during WW2, yet they worked their way back to success within a generation, even though other Americans hated them because of what Japan did. Now, people, like you, are chastising them for working hard for success. American students of Nigerian and Ghanaian heritage are doing extremely well. Should Harvard discriminate against them, too?

@gevansmd1 "The accident of birth should not determine a child's future". That's correct. Being born Asian shouldn't determine that person's future. We finally agree on something.

@wolfman571000 You just can't seem to get over a person's race, can you? Affirmative action violates the Civil Rights Act that Doctor Martin Luther King fought so hard for. If you want Affirmative Action, you have to lead a drive to do away with the Civil Rights Act. There's a group, I'm sure you've heard of them, the Klu Klux Klan who'd be your biggest supporters.
