I'm in a debate. The topic is, "College admission boards should..." Any info? (Other details inside.)

We Answered:

Affirmative action is racism. Essentially, it's saying minorities are inferior so they need help artificially. Their race is the problem, so we need to artificially increase their numbers despite their race.

It's pretty ridiculous. That's why, when social scientists looked deeper into the reasons for using race, they found that socio-economic class was a truer indicator of being disadvantaged than race.

Not everyone has the same chance to get a good education. Some schools are better than others. Some people can afford SAT prep. The common denominator of those people are coming from poor backgrounds, not their race.

Should college students be allowed to invite their friends to spend night in their dorm?

We Answered:

If they are in college, they are old enough that they should be able to have anyone they want spend the night! Why do people still get treated like children once they are no longer legally minors? That is just silly. By the way, I'm 21, "college age"and I have my own apartment am "allowed" to let whoever I want stay over.

Stongest argument is that using race in admissions actually promotes racism. By singling people out based on their race and then giving them "bonus points" or otherwise easing the admission requirements you are basically saying that they can't do it on their own.

Also, you should probably attack the strongest argument on the other side: that diversity in the class room actually benefits all students and in order for there to be diversity, you need to have a critical mass of students from diverse backgrounds. You can attack this by saying that the color of a persons skin does not create diversity. There are many african american people that come from privileged backgrounds and there are many white kids that came from poor backgrounds. Diversity comes from culture, financial status, upbringing, religion, etc.
