Liberals love skin color, as long as it is not white. That’s why the New York Times had a glowing article about the University of California at Merced, which is majority-Hispanic.
[…] The article never debates whether U.C. Merced, created in 2005, should even exist, given that the majority of students fail to graduate in four years. Consider that graduating from U.C. Merced is far, far easier than graduating from Stanford or even U.C. Berkeley. With majors like ethnic studies and women’s studies, students can virtually coast through as long as they can write variants on “the whites oppress me” or “the men oppress me” for four years. If nearly two thirds of them can’t even do that, it raises the question of whether too many people are being admitted to college. more
clarification, any and I mean ANY UC university is NOT AN EDUCATION but an indoctrination. My daughter went two quarters and said enough was enough………good old Janet Napiltano runs the UC System now so that tells you all you need to know while IT collects a $500k annual check….DISGUSTING
I was a school board chairman for a few years and the wonks kept giving me stats like “test scores for free and reduced lunch students are lower……..”. My dumb ass asked if their scores would go up if we charged them for lunch.
Point is, schools love to segment the population in order to feel good about the effort, not the results.
The Liberal Nutz are Obsessed with Dark People, because they find them to generally be so Special in certain ways. Those ways start with a lower I.Q and end with Different or Alien to themselves. Oh and Great Dancers.
I have no time for stupid, long assed articles about skin color and shit. I am grateful to Anon, Tom, and Plantsman for their comments. I got it.
Before Napolitano, the UC system was the cream of the California crop (Stanford notwithstanding). To get into the top UC schools, you needed a grade point average over 4.0; for the rest, you needed a GPA of at least very close to 4.0.
Then came UC Merced. It was a joke in 2005, and it remains a joke today. When my son was looking at schools in 2006, you needed a pulse to get into UC Merced. Merced was a UC school in name only, and I suspect that the politicians created it so students who had no chance of going to a real UC school could claim they graduated from the UC system.
It’s no surprise California touts Merced’s diversity because that’s basically all the university has going for it. California’s politicians may be fooling the general public with calling Merced a UC school, but California’s college bound students know better.

That sounds familiar. Vaguely… no… so… oh, so, familiar. If only I weren’t Educated™… perhaps I could discern a pattern.
Hispanics are the majority in every college South of the border. And the medical, engineering,and, architectural advances are nothing short of astonishing,said no one with a viable brain.
