I ran across this Columbus Dispatch Newspaper article from Feb2011 at AmRen's website.
Why is "skin color" still a qualifying factor for college admission in the 21st century?
I suspect these policies are a whole lot more wide spread than just Ohio State and Miami universities?
I thought liberals and the democrat party were suppose to be champions of the victims of racism?
This is a yes or no/black or white answer with absolutely no grey area to hide behind.
You either condone and defend racism OR you speak up and publicly denounce it here and now.
I believe it is safe to assume that any poster who is afraid to cast a vote most likely condones racism.

I know that such questions are asked more for demographic information - that is keeping track the number of students of different ethnicities applying and so on - rather than the decision making process with regards to admissions.
But with regards to the poll, yes, I do think ethnicity should be a factor with regards to university admissions. I think that those ethnicities with low employment in certain fields should have affirmative action applied so people of those ethnicities can enter those fields. That way, people of all ethnicities will have access to those fields and occupations will be based less on ethnic lines.
