Saying he's not being denied based on his ethnicity is not avoiding the point, galaxy brain. Admissions aren't just SAT + GPA, I had A's and a 1570 and didn't get into every school either

So education shouldn't be based on the ability to learn? Education acceptance into a place of higher learning shouldn't be based on academic achievement? That train of belief seems like something right out of the mysticism that led to the Dark Ages. I guess we should be informing the NFL etc that they are doing it wrong and have to include quotas that favor people who just can't run, jump, pass, or play football.

Absolutely, the fact that a 4.65/1590 Asian student didn't get into a school with a 4% acceptance rate while a 4.1/1510 Black student did is not proof of discrimination at any school you want to talk about. I know people have heard of college essays and interviews and extracurriculars before

So the ability to write an essay or interest in non academic matters should qualify someone while eliminating another with exceptional aptitude in math and science from studying engineering or a degree in math or physics ... or perhaps someone who is better at biology, chemistry, etc than writing from a promising medical career? That's BS; you need to figure out what education is all about rather than maintain some sort of parochial thought process about "higher" education as a form of philosophical/societal enlightenment.

Being able to communicate effectively is a crucial aspect of almost any job

Of course it is, but there's a huge distinction between being a gifted writer and being a competent writer discussing a highly theoretical topic. Technical writers can do a lot to improve communication, but a gifted technical writer cannot do the work behind the report. The extracurricular thing is a joke when it comes to technical competence. Perhaps it has a place in the liberal arts and business fields - but little importance in more the technical fields that tend far more toward individual effort.

There is no magic number that gets you into a school like this. I realized that by age 17 and some of y'all still haven't

I've also read that US schools like Harvard are where Indians unable to get into the Indian Institutes of Technology go. Let's not forget all the garbage in DC churned out by Havaad either. Unfortunately a lot of people look at ivy league grads as "special" without considering that many are mediocre with ways in to the schools. I believe you quoted 25-35% legacy and affirmative action; I assume "legacy" means daddy went there and gives a pot of money so academically underachieving junior has a spot.

I'm old enough to remember a time when Democrats thought Trump's lack of decorum was a disgrace to the office. The same people are cheering as Joe Biden enables this gaggle of confused weirdos shaking their fake and or amputated tits at a formal white house event.

The Hill -

A Gallup poll found that 69 percent of American respondents say that transgender athletes should only play on sports teams that match their birth gender, a 7 point increase from 2021.

That ^ is interesting.

Democrats are split on the issue. Among Democrats, 47 percent responded that transgender athletes should be able to play on teams that match their gender identity, and 48 percent said that they should only play on teams with their birth gender

That ^ is downright surprising.

No.

LGB Americans should not be “forced back in the closet”.

Neither should Trans Americans. Saying Trans people are not entitled to special privileges does not mean they should have to “hide”.

What if they refuse? You gonna “round em up”?
