"If you are talking about affirmative action in college admissions, I think your example doesn't really apply."
College is just an example. And it does apply, at least in my opion. "Really intelligent poor white kids tend to get into good colleges as well. I got into a top private college in spite of being poor and white." Sure. And a lot don't. A lot end up going to jail since they can't stand the tedium of blue collar work and crime seems an easy way out. I know quite a few. And, what about the intelligent poor white kid versus the really intelligent white kid? Or the average white kid? Or the dumb white kid? Economics give a clear cut boundary. It removes bias.

If I help him, hes gonna help me. - Peggy Jos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323252 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
