So, there is not systemic racism? Well, there is, but the reverse of what everyone claims.
I served for two years on the Admissions Committee of a university most people would know. Our job was to look at students “at the margin” who would not get in based on normal criteria. In my opinion, reverse discrimination was rampant at the time on this committee. I cannot count the number of times I said that we are letting someone in who cannot possibly succeed in this academic environment; that we were just taking their tuition for one semester in a dishonest fashion. Truth be told, I was wrong on several students, but right on the vast majority. Do we really help marginal students by placing them in a situation where we can be almost certain they will fail?
