So what's the number? And how many have a white student got accepted to? Did every white student who got into less apply for all 8 of them? Why can't you just admit that girl is qualified?


CNN listed four other 'recent' people accepted into all 8. All who are clearly "black". Given the racial makeup of the U.S. it is a disproportionate amount of people of color getting accepted into all 8.

Your other questions can't easily be determined, or determined at all, so we may never know. However, it's safe to assume some people belonging to all nationalities and races would apply for all of them. Unless you have a reason to believe otherwise.

Furthermore, Affirmative Action is a law and it is no secret that people are getting preferential treatment due to their race regarding employment and universities.

I would have no trouble admitting she is "qualified" if Affirmative Action wasn't a law and there also, at the same time, wasn't a disproportionate amount of people of color getting into all eight. However, given the last two facts I would have to lean towards Affirmative Action playing a role in her admissions.

Since you feel otherwise, do you support repealing Affirmative Action since it's clear that so many people of color are getting into universities because of their "qualifications" and nothing else?

So it's disproportionate when, at this one time, the applicants accepted happened to all be black??

You can't make this argument unless this happens every single year. but I can assure you it doesn't

also, "preferential treatment"?? lmao, that's a good one.

Hiring a bunch of non white people in order to not appear racist does not mean that they are treated better than whites


These are 'recent', not just all this year.

I'd like to see some sources of this being some fluke you chalk it up to be. Show me how the people admitted into all eight universities isn't disproportionately people of color.



Look at the student demographics and you'll have your answer

You still have yet to show any proof of your claims


Student demographics of students who were accepted into all 8 Ivies? Where is that link?

I think the article I've provided and what I mentioned in my first post is plenty of "proof".

At the very least, it's worth you saying, "That's simply not so. Look at all of these others who have been accepted into all eight Ivy League Universities who are not people of color. There's plenty of them. Take a see for yourself, visit this webpage. Check out this statistic."

Lol proof of what?? That a black girl got accepted to 8 schools??

Short of the schools stating that "we are making moves to be political" you have no proof that they rigidly abide by affirmative action laws. I have personally never seen any business that does, but you hating ass racists think that every time YOU don't get a job, it's because a colored person got it instead


Affirmative action is the law. It is absolutely enforced. You cannot adequately disprove my statements.

Calling me a hater and a racist is how most of these discussions end up going once the left cannot adequately present a counter argument. I'm sure you'll get affirmative action support from your peers. Good work!
