Now lets see how a white applicant would have to perform to get around the same 52% chance

I'm not disputing that UVa discriminates against Whites. It probably does. It also discriminates against people who aren't good basketball players. This helps make a university community. The question is to what extent they will take some applicants so they can say, for example, that they have student from all 50 states. If they try to take as many from North Dakota as from New York, that's dumb. If they take five from North Dakota ahead of five more qualified New Yorkers that's not so bad.

My own (limited) experience in classes I have attended (obviously I choose these classes, and I don't go to basketweaving) where there has been interaction, the Blacks haven't seemed any less intellectual than the Whites.
