You should know better. Your colleague clearly made the cut. She wasn’t given a spot because of her skin color. My guess is she grew up middle class, went to a good college and scored well on the MCAT.
Accepting unqualified POC is no better than your legacy example, both took spots they didn’t deserve. Keep, SJWs and wokeness out of medicine.

Didn't Mindy Kaling's brother fake being black to get into med school? I guess he was a party boy with a 3.1 and a medium MCAT, so he shaved his head and trimmed his eyebrows. He used his middle name "JoJo." He even had on excruciating interview where a black faculty member asked him if he was really black. He ended up going to University of St. Louis Med School for two years before dropping to attend UCLA Anderson. He did say that people treated him differently-he got pulled over more often and was accused of shoplifting. He lost his girlfriend because of this move and Mindy was was very embarrassed.

If you get in on merit, that isn't racist even if the outcomes don't result in equity among the races.

AA causes people to question if a minority graduate is competent or not which is sad. If entrance and graduation were all merit based, that doubt would go away.

and LRC allowing a proliferation of race baiting threads makes one question if threads like these are ever sincere or just another excuse to host a racist sound board. If race baiting threads were not welcome and celebrated here, that might go away.

Why don’t we have equitable outcomes?

Affirmative action is in the news constantly. More broadly, racial issues and equity are in the news every day in the US. The Vice President mentioned racial equity with respect to Hurricane Ian just the other day. The Supreme Court is going to hear another affirmative action case this term. Discussing issues that are in the news constantly is not "race baiting" and does not turn LRC into a "racist sound board" just because you disagree with a large percentage of the posts -- none of which are racist, by the way.

Racists don’t believe they are racist, obviously

Um...you mean the suburban peers who have $100 an hour tutors to help them prep for standardized tests and to tutor them in all their subjects and to help them navigate the admissions process? And you do know that a large number of elite universities were tests optional the last few years, right?
If you are my doctor, I don’t care how you became proficient. I just care that you are very good at what you do. If you want to ease undergraduate admissions, fine. Don’t extend that to medical school and MCAT.
If you don't care about how your doctor became proficient why are you concerned about MCAT? You should be looking at what they left medical school with, not how they were doing before they started.

The sheltered SJW libs don't really care much for merit, only about looking morally superior to others despite the actual effects of their beliefs.

They are probably reacting your assertion that "none" of the posts on LRC are racist, which is obviously absurd.

I'm guessing you haven't met many racists. Actual racists tend to be pretty forthcoming about their attitudes.
Applying your logic, you could say even anti-racists like you might be racist since you don't believe you're racist. How would you know otherwise?70 -

Ok, test your theory. runnerboy70 is on this thread. Ask him if he's racist.

Maybe, but I was obviously referring to this thread, and that none of the posts I've seen are racist. If they were, YOU would have pointed them out by now, because YOU are the guy who alleges a thread is "race baiting" merely because it raises affirmative action or racial equity issues that are in the news literally every day.
