In Reply To: just that its obvious that minorities have huge advantages to get into b-school, and such post command lots of indignant replies, which is what a troll wants. don't know the name of that program, not a minority, but several friends of mine took advantage of it a few years a go. and yeah, its a lot easier to answer the obvious question,
Message: this may be inappropriate for this board but none the less this is a place for ideas and I suppose venting. If we don't post our concerns, and discuss them there will never be progress right? so here goes: obviously intelligent and resourceful. just like other similar non-minority and yet gets an advantage b/c the color of the skin/ethnicity. i suppose this is the exact definition of the problem with aff.action. everyone wants equality and yet there are still a number of programs that discriminate...legally. here we are about 40yrs after the supposed civil rights acts and yet NO ONE is playing on a level field. truly sorry thing for the US. Will this land ever be a place of equality? I honestly would suppose not. Humans unfortunately seem to have instincts of loyalty toward family and I guess those of similar "features" or even interests. what do you think?
