&gt; Daniel told me that he believed affirmative-action policies were justified for college admissions, but he did not think they should be used to filter out qualified applicants to honors programs and graduate programs.<p>Wonder why he thought they were justified for the former case but not the latter.

He may be the victim of institutional racism some people claim to fight, but implement it instead.<p>I don&#x27;t think we need statistics about racial achievements. We need people being treated without regard of their ethnicity. Everyone that complains about too few X should not be part of admission policy.

&gt; To be honest, I’ve never been quite clear on how we’re supposed to get over centuries of judging people by their skin color or ethnicity by paying more and more attention to skin color and ethnicity.<p>That.
