A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Apply for the United ***** College Fund. |

It's the complete opposite. If anything that school had race quotas to fill and they already had the percentage of Indians in the school to be "diverse". This happens to whites much more than it happens to minorities. |

This is a little girl's opinion to why she did not get it.
I seriously doubt that NY city of all places have programs structured around just whites.
Please use some common sense when evaluating the news. |

I call BS,there's more to the story than what's there. I'm white and I sure as heck don't see a special whitey college fund or anything set aside for me or my son. Minorities get special treatment on a daily basis while whites get bashed. |

They don't. It used to be that way, but nowadays the minorities get more advantages than whites. By the way, whites are a minority now, at least in Los Angeles. |

What crap! If this is true, the media will crucify them. Now if it were a white person being denied because of affirmative action or anything like that, you would not even hear about it.
If you truly believe that white people get more advantages than minorities, you are smoking crack or you are living 100 years ago! |

That's a quota system for you. She ran afoul of a decisions intended to discriminate /agaist/ whites by boosting minority enrollment. The framers of that ruling didn't anticipate the success of asian students in the oh-so-racist American school system. |

your argument is flawed, the opposite is the case |

I call the BS card on this one, sorry. There's something else to this story besides her race. This just plays to everyone's excuse that it's the white man's fault that they didn't get what they want. It it couldn't possibly be the disciplinary record or grades... why would that make someone not eligible? If it's the race quota that eliminated her, I find it funny. The minorities always seem to support affirmative action... until it hurts them. |

Indians have to compete with other Indians, if they are all brilliant than they have to have a super high score. Thats just the way it is. They did that to make it fair to African and White, Spanish and Native American Indians. They dont have the same advantage as Indians because there parents dont force them to read a book at two years old but instead tell them to go outside and play. Indians have an advantage over Africans and everybody else, they did that to make it fair for African, Europeans, Native Americans and Mexcians. |

Actually, my experience has been the opposite. My son was put on a waiting list because whites and only whites had to go through a lottery for available spots. They called to say they would give him a waiver because they weren't able to find enough 'minorities' (a strange word since whites are minorities in the LAUSD) that were qualified, but my son had already enrolled elsewhere.
I think this is untrue. |

For her to say, "I would have gotten in if I was white," that's a crock and everyone knows it. She would have to compete with other students, regardless of their race or nationality, as well. I bet there are children there who are African or Mexican-American, and Chinese, etc.
Do you know how many Caucasians are denied certain Health care benefits or Bank Accounts simply because they're not Hispanic? |

They don't always.....In fact, this is my thoughts, people really control there own destiny....Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade....For example, this young girl can either get discourage and develop a chip on her shoulder, because she denied into this prestigious school, OR she could work even harder and continue striving forward, not allowing this setback to hold her back....You make your own future, greatness is not to be deterred.... |

there are some places where this does occur but you can't just ignore the fact that in some places the minorities are the majority and discriminate against white people.
i'm not white btw. |

Maybe in her mind her score was good enough to get in , but in reality her score was not high enough ? BTW , what is the Indian definition of brilliance , and what in her parents mind determined her to be "brilliant" ?/? The only advantages I know that white folks get are that they get to work harder and longer to pay taxes to support the Welfare System & The Illegals Free Ride thru the Countryside !!!!! |

Well I must say that this is unacceptable. This is such bigatry! What century am I in?! Are you kidding me? Is this hundreds of years ago when we had slavery and worked the indians or the blacks half to death? NO! I feel like I'm not in the U.S. anymore sometimes! And here's an even stupider thing... why in the world would you need a certain racial quota?! Pretty much they're saying that us whites have to be the smartest people in the country. What, so Indians can't be just as smart?
And I do not know who you are, but I don't think that your question is very fair. Why do you think it's always the WHITE people that get more advantages? You can not possibley say that. Black people get just as much advantages as anyone else. So I would suggest you think before you speak, and start hating or even blaming the white people. In fact, the black people have an advanges over us in education! Why? because they have the United N-e-gro College Fund. If we tried setting up the United Caucasian College Fund Rev. Al Sharpton would be knocking down our doors! |

The thing this family isn't comprehending is that the quota was set up to ensure that a certain percentage of the school were minorities. This was to ensure that the financially disadvantaged minorities had a path out of the social welfare state of their culture through better education. It is also clear that in this story that the girl that was denied, was not financially disadvantaged and isn't a part of the social class that the law was intended to help.
It wasn't written to give white people an advantage over minorities. I live in El Paso Texas and guess what, even though El Paso is 80% Hispanic and 7% Black and 3% Other, whites are not considered a minority. By the perception of the liberal legislators back in the 50s and 60s, minority meant a person of color.
I agree that the legislation that created this situation is outdated and needs to be repealed, I don't believe there was a discriminatory intent by the admissions board. This is a clear cut example of how affirmative action has outlived it's usefulness! Admission standards should be the same, regardless of minority status.
As long as we have groups like NAACP, ACLU, LULAC and many others demanding preferential consideration for people based on color, creed, ethnicity, socio-economic status, ancestry and about a dozen other characteristics that people want an advantage for, you'll end up with certain areas of our society that makes that quota requirement a henderence to minorities and not an advantage.
As I stated earlier, an entrance criteria or hiring criteria or promotion criteria or whatever needs to be performance based and any criteria imposed for one, needs to be imposed for all. |

Something does not sound right, perhaps they filled a quota on how many students of a particular race are in the school.
My daughter is half Indian ( Asian) and she is one of the smartest kids in her class. I see that Indians have a natural talent for learning, and I do believe it may of been her race that hurt her, but possible so a black or hispanic kid could get in her place.
Indian people for the most part, are very smart, but they are also very gready, I will never do buisness with them with out a contract. |

WOW u have no clue what ur talking about ever heard of Affirmative Action? |

Helloooo!

Are you serious about your question? I'm a white, single mother and the only thing I qualify for is getting to work and pay taxes so that lazy, uneducated people get to get food stamps and a welfare check, and they get housing assistance so they can use more of that welfare check for beer, cigarettes and crack, and they get full medical at no cost. I am so "advantaged" that I get to also pay back the student loan I had to get to go to school, I get to pay my own health insurance premiums and copays, and I have to pay my own rent. Lucky me! And you know what, I am lucky--I wasn't raised by losers so I'm not a sponge boohooing about discrimination. |

fake media information, it is illegal to not let a kid in because of their race.
she probably did not get in for other academic reasons, no matter what the parents are claiming. Gifted students are gifted, if the child is not considered gifted she would not make it in that school. the parents claim she is brilliant, what parent does not think that about their kid?
She did not get turned down for not being white, I will not believe that.
Also, where do whites get more advantages because I would surely move there. Everywhere I have lived, we get the sh-t BECAUSE we are not a minority. |

Racism will always exist if people like you let it. Stop spending your time hating white people and you'll get more out of life. I know indians ****** and mexicans that have a lot more than I ever will but you don't hear me shouting descrimination. You made it a racist thing when you used the term white. |
