NCAA Claims minorities aren't smart enough...

It'd be cool to have some black leaders say "we oppose this elimination of standards, and realize that it's an insult to blacks to assume they can't compete with the rest of the population academically".

I'll be expecting something like that real soon....lol

Thomas Sowell says tests aren't unfair; life is unfair, and tests reflect that. Is that close enough?

I’d think It’s a lot harder to be a straight A student if your mom works three jobs and your dad is in prison, than if you lived in Oak tree in Edmond where you scoot over to your girlfriends House on a golf cart. And the title of this thread is very disingenuous and fairly offensive

So if we stereotype them like you, and assume that the minority families are fatherless and poor, is the solution to just lower the bar for them?

Do you not think that is devastating to self esteem?

We say, bless your heart, you just can't reach the same standards of others, we'll just lower the bar for you.

I see this as a nasty kind of racism.

My comment was only to refute the title of this thread. I haven’t a clue what the answer is. It’s obvious that lowering the bar as you say, is useless and counterproductive
