      That doesn’t have to do with the topic at hand. Universities should be meritocracies, with the best of the best earning doctorates / degrees / positions. There shouldn’t be a situation where someone goes “well, your scores are better, but he is black so he gets the position”

        Your theory does not account for systemic racism, history of oppression, and socio-economic disadvantages that minorities face in America.

        If the only race who gets a fair shake in America is white people, albeit rich white people, then those will be the only ones to get into College based on meritocracy.
