Today 30% of blacks have a college degree

What is the juxtaposition of these two statistics supposed to suggest? Probably more important to consider this statistic from that second link:
Quote:National data on attainment by race and gender reveals significant gaps between Black and White women and men: There’s a 15 percentage point gap between Black and White women and an 18 percentage point gap between Black and White men.
It's important to note just how far we come from 1960. College used to be only for the elites.
The trend for everyone getting college degrees will likely go up in the next decade.
Another thing to consider is there is no federal law stopping these colleges from accepting everyone that applies.
They could lower their standards to nothing however, at some point, it may do more harm than good if dropout rates increase substantially.
There are two core beliefs people seem to have:
1. Equality of outcomes
2. Equality of opportunities
I believe in equality of opportunities
All this discrimination is all fun and games until you are the one being discriminated against, which is the case primarily for Asians.
Why a student pretended to be black to get into med school
