http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061202/pl_nm/usa_race_schools_dc This is the slippery slope at work. Racially based programs started at centers of learning in the name of "fairness", and now they're completely out of control. Now a 12 year old child may be turned away because he's not the "right" race. In Seattle public schools for example, the ratio between whites and other races is 4:6 - so if an applying student doesn't help meet this quota, he'll be discarded like last year's politically correct name for colored people.
Well yea... This is sort of sad... That kind of things should be completely racially unbiaised and rather focus on the skills of the person rather than on its race...

race should never be a factor. it shouldnt even be recognized by the education system. its really fucked up. same as when race needs to be a requirement to get certain scholarships. its just wrong, it should be decided on economic level not race.
but dont places want a diversity of students. what about in colleges with a lot of white people, they can turn down probably a white male (since white males are like a majority compared to white women) with great grades for a person of another race who just barely made the requirements.
The very institution that preaches diversity introduces a kid to racism and they wonder why it carries on for yet another generation; this is exactly what political correctness under its many guises gets you.
Political Correctness and Multiculturism will destroy this country, if not the world...
The fact that race is a factor at all is just sad
Seriously, what does race have to do with anything at all? The answer should be nothing, unfortunately the answer is usually everything.
Hey, Spork, long time no see.... :wave: On topic: Come on!! You'd have thought this was over and done with a two decades ago!! I hate politically correct people with a vengeance.

Let's shorten it..
They are turning away people based on race = fucking racism.
You know, I don't recall the article indicating the race...but, how much you want to bet its a white male. If he were any other race this wouldn't be an issue.
You know...the more and more I read or hear cases/incidents like this article it makes me wonder if the PC or so-called disenfranchised folks intentionally want to anger or upset white people. Gives them a reason to keep hating. So who really hates who? Can't wait for the black or hispanic KKK to start riding through the streets.
