no it shouldn't, but it does. It relates to affirmative action.

no.. but academics should

---

Yes. Because otherwise in 2050 there will be more spanish and black people then there will be white people, but white people will still hold a huge majority of the high paying jobs. This is a problem Just ask South Africa.

The race selection needs to be dropped on all forms. It makes no difference. If someone is getting hired or accepted to a school, what difference does it make as to what race they are? If their scores are adequate, then they are adequate and that's all that matters.

No. If you are smart you wont have a problem and before someone says minorities dont go to as good of schools thats bs too because not everbody at that school is always a minority.

---

yes, like chris rock said... white people had a 400 hundred year head start. On top of that blacks in america still aren't equal. Racism in America is still alive and well. I promise you the number of times you get discriminated against and held back from succeeding because you're black far outweight anything affirmative action can do for you.

I would say no, but I heard A speach on the subject from both Jesse Jackson and George W bush. If The college gives preference to the son of an alumni, They should give the same criteria of entrance for underrepresented people. If they don't , it would be another Jim Crow Law. I hate race base criteria in General. All seem to discriminate a different race, even though they are the most qualified. When I went to college, California actively discriminate against Jews and CHinese. Now it seems worse. I know African AMericans who has difficulty , beause they have a hard time selecting High school. The UC system decided to select the top 10% of each High school. That way they would have a more diverse group of students. THe problem was that my African American friend do not want to send her children in a prodominantly African American High school because of the lower education standard, but don't want to send her to a better high school, because her children would have a lesser chance to getting into the UC system.
