How would some of you in Ca.

well said, didnt notice your point because comments about california dont offend.  
(edit)
Whats sad about this article...and i'm sorry bout not knowing the names cause I dont feel like looking back on it.....is this guy who wrote this letter is being demonized for pointing all this out.  I agree this problem isnt just califronia, but I think its worth pointing out that this is happening all over the nation and is in fact WRONG.

here's a few more:

Elk Snout Comm. Col.
Ren & Stimpy How to school
Paxton beatuy academy
Truckin USA
The Derick Zoolander school for children who don't read good

I applied to berkeley in 1995 with a 1410 SAT score and got denied.  An African-american friend of mine from my high school class also applied with a 1070 SAT score and was admitted.  Berserkeley is exactly how we describe it.  I think this sort of thing needs to be taken into account by employers of Berkeley grads.  The over-blown reputation of the school needs to be re-examined.

If I'm from south africa but have white skin can I check the african-american spot on the application?  Do you have to back up your race?  Would I have to prove i'm actually an "Eskimo"?  I think people need to find better "leagle" ways to cheat the system.

Sorry for the multiple posts but stuff like this gets my blood boil

Damn, it's too bad you didn't try two years later. If you are/were a California resident, there is a fool proof way to get into Berkley, if that's your thing. Even if you're whiter than the french battle flag (just kidding France, I love you baby).

The California Community College system introduced an honors program that garunteed acceptance to any of the UCs upon completion. It wasn't particularly hard (no harder than getting A's at a UC in my experience) and it was a hell of a lot cheaper to boot.

At the end of the day those who want it, can get it. Sometimes you just have to find another road. And if you stop and complain about how unfair the system is, it will pass you by, fair or not.

Just out of curiosity, how many people in this thread besides Blackbal and I applied to a UC school since the Affirmative Action  ban in 1997?

So before Carl Limbacher breaks out the race card, aren't we at least allowed to see a breakdown of what races are in the 400 students admitted?

I am waiting to hear that also.  I bet some of them are the stupid children of wealthy alumni.

SOmeday you will realize that californistan is not the place to be.  They have made it so the harder you work, the harder they make it to make a living.  If all you want to do is sit around and collect welfare and food stamps and have 13 million kids, life is good.  This state has so much potential it just makes me sick to se how it has turned out and where it is going.  8 days and I am soooo gone.  Just got another offer for a full time job in Montana, going to go play the court and see which one offeres me the best deal.  Even if the Montana thing doesn't work, I am never comming back to this state.

According to this list, UC Berkely is the highest ranked State University in the Nation. (MIT and CIT don't count)

so results justify racism?  if I started a company and refused to hire any women or minorities, then that would be ok as long as we had a good profit margin?

if SAT's don't matter for minorities then they shouldn't matter for anyone.

I was responding to this..

Totaly in line with Berkley, no suprise there, they are all stupid.

and this

Who do they think they are, educators or somthing?

But since you brought it up... exactly how did you determin that Berkely had racist policies? Not from that posted article I hope.

And why not midnight? from their own admittance race is a basis for their policys. Just like affirmative action is based on race...The action clearly decides issues on skin colour alone...

[medicboy]

"Affirmative action" is racism in its purest form, plane and simple.  Giving someone preferance because of race is just wrong.  I am a minority in california, why can't I get special treatment?
