The report focuses on the three Virginia public law schools -- the University of Virginia, William & Mary, and George Mason University -- and reveals odds favoring black applicants as high as 731 to 1. To put it in other terms: A student with an LSAT score of 160 and an undergraduate GPA of 3.25 had a 95 percent chance of admission into U.Va. if he or she was black, but only a 3 percent chance of admission if white, Hispanic or Asian."

So much for the notion that affirmative action is to help minorities. Apparently, we can only have ONE favored race at a time (MLK's Dream?), and blacks demand to be first, even though they are not the largest (Hispanics just passed them in the last census), nor the smallest (three times as populous as Asians) minority. I would think that Hispanic minority organizations would be screaming about this discrimination againt them. Another race is 92% more likely to be chosen, simply because the Hispanic is not of the right race.

I agree with you. I'm not sure why only 35% of Hispanics tend to vote Republican. Maybe because in many states where there are more Hispanics than in Virginia, affirmative action helps them more.
