Not paranoid at all... just want to look at numbers. Have you not seen them?Who am I? I'm a guy questioning your claims and asking for you to back them up with facts and not opinions. I can make up some numbers and put them on here or I can give verifiable stats to back up my claims. It all depends on how serious I want people to take me. You obviously don't want to be taken seriously.I ask for numbers and not an editorial so you post an editorial...'I'd love to look at those numbers, can you provide them for me so I can see what you are talking about? Real numbers not an editorial article.
As Nieli puts it, “Being Hispanic conferred an admissions boost over being white … equivalent to 130 SAT points (out of 1,600), while being black rather than white conferred a 310-point SAT advantage. Asians, however, suffered an admissions penalty compared to whites equivalent to 140 SAT points.”
“To have the same chance of gaining admission as a black student with a SAT score of 1100, a Hispanic student otherwise equally matched in background characteristics would have to have 1230, a white student a 1410 and an Asian student a 1550.”

Who are you to make such demands?
The article clearly does give such numbers, but it's not good enough for you princess?
I'm not saying you are wrong, you may very well be right... i'm just saying show some real stats that I can look at to see whats happening. Reading biased editorials is not going to get us anywhere. Is that were you get all your news from?
The La Times says similar.
They must be lying too, though.
Paranoid much?
