    As a first generation white student wanting to go to college, this makes me happy! Hopefully other first generation white students will get equal treatment too.

    Edit: I guess racism against white people is socially acceptable now…

      This also makes me happy. While I generally wish that more people would pursue the trades and avoid college completely, this is a step in the right direction. Good luck to you!

      Lefties constantly talk about being inclusive and fair. Yet they can’t see through their own BS.

      Social equity programs DO NOT promote equality. By requiring colleges and universities to use colorblind criteria in admissions, it ensures that all applicants are evaluated based on their merits and qualifications, rather than their race or ethnicity. So this ruling is a big win!

      This approach aligns with the principle of equal protection under the law, as enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Removing race as a consideration allows for a more objective and fair evaluation of applicants’ qualifications. Focusing on an applicant’s individual qualities and achievements enhances diversity in a more comprehensive and meaningful way.

      Considering race perpetuates a form of discrimination in itself.

      We must eliminate systemic barriers and leveling the playing field for ALL PEOPLE.
