Journal 34: Race to College

The issue around racial advantage has been around for a long time and in many forms. It started up with racism and whites thinking that they are superior to blacks and many other races. Slavery has been put to a end but racism still here with us today. Colleges are allowed to use the race of a person in the judging of their admission and too many people it seems unfair. The colleges shouldn't just assume that if a person is of a dark skin tone that they are raised in a poorer family and that they had to fight for their opportunities.  Just because the other candidate is white doesn't mean that they are raised in a extremely well environment and opportunities are just given to them. It very much could be the direct opposite, black candidate was raised in a wealthy family and the white candidate in a poorer family. That is why I think that race and ethnicity should't be considered into the acceptance of students. It should work around where and how they grew up and not what shade their skin is. Yes, many time blacks live in a less beneficial environment but many times it is not the case. To include race and ethnicity in the process of admission is racist.
