That was an interesting post. I did hear about the UC Berkeley petition and how the petition had an affect on the admission system for UCs. The outcome of the petition targeted the asians overall. The asian ethnicity group gets one or two points deducted on their admission scorecard while other ethnic group did not get affected. Meaning, more competition was introduced for the asian h.s. seniors just so they can get admitted into the limited slots for UC.
It is incredible how the student body (whether it be small or large) in Berkeley and UCLA can obtain so much control over the UC board of education. Who can blame them...they know exactly what they are doing.
And for the hot-dog event, the caucasians aren't afraid to express their feelings and opinions toward other ethnicity groups. It is not like the admission boards will expel each students that took part of the action (or did they?).
Great evaluation Victor!
