Affirmative Regression Analysis

1. Affirmative Action destroys the idea of meritocracy and students should be chosen based on their intelligence instead of their race or gender.
“At the University of Wisconsin, the median composite SAT score for blacks who were admitted was 150 points lower than for whites and Asians and the Latino median SAT score was 100 points lower”. This quote shows how Affirmative Action destroys the idea of meritocracy and applicants are mainly chosen on someone’s race not intelligence.

Abigail Fischer, after being denied attendance to the University of Texas, stated that she was denied attendance due to her race. However, after her case was looked over, it was evident that she was denied a place in that college due to her inadequate test results. Abigail Fischer, over the years, has become a symbol for victimization in America. Abigail Fischer stated,
The Affirmative Pro side is choosing certain races including hispanic and African-American based truly on the color of their skin. Doesn’t this remind you of slavery in America? Because of the European fair skin, Europeans were given more rights than the enslaved African-Americans. Although, the injustice of that has not changed into reverse prejudice where race and gender is a main aspect of how you are chosen for college. According to affirmative action reverse discrimination statistics, “In law school admissions, white students who at a median LSAT score and grades had a 10% chance of being admitted. This is comparable to a 70% admission rate for black students and a 33% admission rate for Hispanic students”. Doesn’t that seem wrong that our society values the color of your skin more than education equality?
