Affirmative Action

I do think that colleges should use affirmative action.  I think that the diversity of schools should be much bigger.  It seems that most great schools are usually all white, with Asians being a close second.  "At the University of Michigan, Jennifer Gratz decided to sue the school (and ultimately won) because the year she was rejected, around a hundred blacks, Latinos, and American Indian students were admitted despit having lower test scores and grades than her." (Wise 75)  I personally admire the University of Michigan for admitting minorities over some white students in ordder to gain more diversity.  I wouldn't want to go to an all white school because I would want to go to a school with more than just white people.  I don't think that a school should be allowed to get sued just because they admitted someone who has lower test scores than someone else.  A university should be able to admit whoever they want to.  When you bring in more minorities, the minorities can bring more to the table than a bunch of white people, I do not mean that in a racist way, I mean it in a way that white people generally have it easier that minorities, since a lot of minorities live in the inner-city, and have it a lot harder than us.  In order for a minority to succeed, they must try a lot harder, because they usually do not have the same amount or quality of resources that we do here in a place like Deerfield.  Overall, I do think that race should play a part in the admissions process at colleges.
