#2> For example, the likelihood of admission for Asian American and White applicants who have similar academic credentials is significantly lower than for African American and Hispanic applicants to Yale College. For the great majority of applicants, Asian American and White applicants have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials.

Edit: WTF!? Why are people downvoting me for finding source and quoting the relevant bit? I’m trying to help.

The video on this link was absolutely striking. The moment we divide up America into racial groups, and then start recruiting, selecting, hiring and prosecuting people based on their race; the fabric of this nation will tear apart.
It is impossible to be a centrist. HN brings you downvotes when you convey a balanced view; friends in silicon valley despise you for offering a nuanced opinion, you get singled out and suppressed. Freedom of speech is degraded by extreme left-wing populace. Extreme right-wingers want a full authoritarian government but at the same time want freedom of speech and expression. That's contradicting and makes no sense.
I feel like leaving the United States and going to a place where there is more unity, thoughtful discourse and peace. Both left and right sides are to be blamed.

#7This is the same Yale that had a policy of restricting the student body to at most 10% of Jewish descent. Funny how things stay the same even though we are apparently more enlightened.
