Like I told Jack, it's retarded, but novel. I'll give him credit for that.

The sheer amount of historical black holing you have to do though, especially when he's quoting the fucking founding fathers, just wow.

I'm excited to see how he will double down on his original claim

I've literally never heard someone called a tugboat until this thread

I've heard people use "tugboat complex" but not actually call someone a tugboat

I’d support an upper age limit. We’ve got people rocking modems and floppy disks in charge. We’re just asking for it.

Ageism is the only ism I am A-Ok with

Old people suck
 
The worst part is if Biden can't continue we get stuck with Kamala Harris. Like I've mentioned before I get why other countries are laughing at us

Just think a candidate that her own party hated, gets to become president because that same party elected an old ass guy to be President.

I thought you could park in front of a hydrant, IF the curb is not red.

I was wrong.
 
I posted these charts in the med school admissions thread several weeks back and, not surprisingly, got no responses.

Basically, the difference between a black applicant and an Asian or white applicant is small. Just 0.25 GPA points.

But despite this huuuuuuge difference, black students are still far underrepresented in med school students, and Asians overrepresented-

And when you take the gigantic differences in wealth between the two groups into account, is it really unfair that a few, say, dozen black kids across the country with 3.5 GPAs got into med school over a few Asians with 3.75??

Great data. Some absolute numbers by each would improve it.

It’s interesting that as you get to the highest gpa/mcat brackets is that the Asian rate almost converges with the average (3% off), while the black rate still climbs to over 90%, and the white rate is also > than average.

I would guesstimate that there are a ton of Asians in the highest bracket and very, very few blacks for this to work.

On a similar level the Asian and white rate is well below average for the lowest scores so it seems like the AA is really happening in this area. So in the lowest category Asians could ~triple acceptance absent AA, although without absolute numbers it’s hard to judge this. If most of the acceptances are coming from the top then this is not significant imo.
