I feel like people's races should not have a factor in who gets the job in the college offices. I feel as if there is not enough diversity in the programs at college and more needs to be picked so we can have a chance.The courts should have a rule to make if fair for all races to have a fair chance at getting that role in different college admissions.

I agree with you because everybody deserves a fair education. For colleges to not offer it to all is really unfair and shouldn't be happening. I don't agree with what they're doing because race shouldn't define a person and what opportunities they receive.

Morgan Johnson 5B

I dont understand why we still struggle with racism in america today. As you can see it causes problems such as schools presumably only accepting certain races into their school etc. The whole U.S. should come together and try to get rid of racism all together at this point.

Mkaya Banks

11/2/2022 11:00:40 am

Racism is on of the biggest problems in our country today people are raciest just because they think they are better then the next or they feel like a group of people do not deserve the same opportunity as the next colored person and with saying that I agree racism is a problem that we as Americans need to come together and fix.

I agree, Racism is so common in this wrong and it should'nt be common at all, we are all human and we all have feelings and I'm sure nobody would like to get treated any less or any different from someone else just because they are "different" and don't have similar futures.

Zariya B. 1A

11/3/2022 02:06:10 pm

I agree as well, we shouldn't have to keep dealing with this. It's been time for a change yet it is still happening. We should make something happen instead of sitting on our behinds. Racism shouldn't be allowed anywhere. It causes issues for everyone. Even if you don't see it, or experience it, it's there.

I would like to come out and say I do not agree with what Harvard is doing, but i must say for over years the Asian American population has been dominating the colored population when it comes to higher education. Asian Americans has the highest percentage of people that make it into Harvard. i would understand if Harvard was trying to keep that percentage down. Because there is a U.S. law stating there has to be a certain amount of colored students attending the school. So with doing that it takes about a hand full of Asian American students off the roster each is not fair for nobody but the law is the law people of color had to fight to get into schools like Harvard just as the Asian Americans are now I feel bad this is happening to them but everyone deserves a chance at higher education.

The racism hate has to end i agree and believe things need to change especially in colleges such as Harvard the hate is outlandish!

A. Green 3a

11/4/2022 09:33:29 am

I disagree with you. If they put in the work, no matter what race they are they should be able to get in regardless of race. The amount of smart Asian-Americans that they have shouldn't prevent the next one getting in.

C. Torres 1A

11/2/2022 10:53:10 am

I believe race is something that should not be a factor when considering for roles in college offices. Schools should not judge others based on the color of their skin but rather their academic prowess. Diversity is something every school should strive to have as it shows everybody despite the color if their skin has their own individual strengths. As a by product it encourages kids around the world that they can strive to attend a top school like Harvard.

i aggree strongly with him since my repsonse was similar colloge should go based on race but on how they do in school

I agree with you because schools should have a diversity of people.

Morgan Johnson 5B

When it comes to schools diversity is important. It shows that everyone is welcome and can be involved with anything. This includes even being in college offices.

Darius S 1A

11/4/2022 11:55:14 pm

I agree, people should be able to get accepted in college without worrying about their race. The color of someone’s skin should not matter.

erica thompson-smith

11/2/2022 11:50:28 am

I personally do not think race should be a factor in any school. race does not determine anyone's intelligence or IQ level.The fact this is even a consideration in 2022 this is crazy.

Joshua Deleon 2A

Giselle C. 2A

Yes, I feel like the only thing that should matter when getting into college or a job is your intelligence.

Desiree ware 3A

11/3/2022 09:29:01 pm

I agree, being a certain race shouldn't even determine your intelligence. It's honestly ignorant but I'm not surprised racism is still around today.

Melissa Contreras 6B

11/4/2022 11:41:57 pm

I couldn't agree more with your statement. Race should never be a factor on if you get accepted into a school or not.

R. Waits 7B

11/2/2022 01:31:53 pm

To be honest, race has nothing to do with someone's smarts. It does not determine whether you're academically eligible or not. Although racism has been played out for many generations, it seems that Harvard attempted to redesign their racist acts by allowing Asian Americans to reside in their college. It's not right.

M. Davis 1A

11/2/2022 03:50:46 pm

Yes, I agree. It is completely wrong.

Mackenly Mitchell link

Period! I Guess you have to consider race to implement diversity tho🤷🏾‍♀️

lili swain

11/2/2022 05:33:32 pm

I think the only way to be racist is to be taught that growing up little kids see no color unless that is instilled in them as a young person as the grow up they will either see or not see the bad about racism every racist person was taught to hate you are not born to hate

Janelle Melgar 6B link

11/2/2022 07:29:24 pm

This article shows that we need to fix society. It is unfair that certain races get lower opportunties to enter into college. We should all be treated equally and get fair treatment. It is sad to see that we are still to this day fighting for equality.

amaya j 1A link

11/4/2022 09:44:16 am

strngly agree becasue the society goes based on race for most thing they think us as people with color dont have knolodge to do anything or they think we are not capable of going to colloge and finishing it

Mackenly Mitchell link

11/2/2022 11:29:53 pm

I thought the whole reason affirmative action was put into place was to prevent schools from intentionally not accepting black and brown students due to their own biases. Apparently Asians tend to have higher test scores, but low enrollment rates. Im not sure if the reason behind that is because of affirmative action or is something else... honestly I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Joshua Deleon 2A

11/3/2022 11:21:04 am

The article completely tells us how Harvard has tried to factor in ethnicity and color into decision making in students. But this doesn't determine a persons smarts, They are still doing this in 2022 and although many protests have occurred racism still plays a role in student selection.

Giselle C. 2A

11/3/2022 06:07:39 pm

Racism is such a big factor in everything we do. The only thing that should matter when getting a job or into college is your intelligence. We people should do more to spread more diversity and make it an equal playing field for every skin tone.

Jeremiah Bryant 1A

11/4/2022 09:28:52 am

I Heavily agree i believe everything in today's society has to deal with racism and things should be different!

P Pina 7B

I agree with your because if you get into a college it should be because of your intelligence not because of your race.

Desiree Ware 3A

11/3/2022 09:26:38 pm

it's unfair that your ethnicity can limit or rob you out of many opportunities. Unfortunately race plays a big role in society today, and because of that it causes stereotypes to be made about races. Being Black you get stereotyped as dangerous. Even being Hispanic you get stereotyped as a drug dealer. Overall, we should all spread more diversity and give everyone a fair and equal chance, regardless of race.

R Arpero 7B

R. Aponte 2A link

When you stated about having more diversity and giving everyone equality, everyone should be honored and appreciated . It would be hard being or feeling able to take chances. The principal of what individuals want is equality, and more diversity.

Melissa Contreras 6B

11/4/2022 11:50:43 pm

Yes, race does have a great impact on today's society which is included in negative ways as well. Being a specific race/ethnicity should not ever limit your opportunists in life.

joshua martinez 3a

11/4/2022 08:58:15 am

I dont know why we still deal with racism in the US today. As we know it causes problems such as schools only mainly accepting certain races into their school because what they believe . I dont agree with this i think everyone should have the same appotinity to no matter skin color .

E Garcia 1A link

11/4/2022 09:52:59 am

Exactly, its unfair and why treat others differently if you would'nt like that in return. We werent born to go against each other, we all need to come together and do better.

Jeremiah Bryant 1A

11/4/2022 09:26:45 am

The article has made me aware of how terrible it is for a minority or diverse people to get jobs, and go to college. People of America should not have to worry about whether they get into a school due to their race especially because we live in the most diverse society of all time. Being a minority should honestly help you get into school and jobs just to normalize the difference in people. Normalizing differences in people and things in society will be the best benefit especially in colleges so i agree and stand for the people protesting for their rights.

Ricardo Lynch 3A

11/4/2022 12:24:36 pm

I agree. The stereotypes that have been existing in certain races lowers the chance of them entering into prestigious universities.

m. moore

11/4/2022 02:47:55 pm

I agree, in the 20th century and still using race as a way to determine someone intelligence is sad.

Green 3a

11/4/2022 09:28:41 am

Affirmative action has some good points, but the bad ultimately outweighs the good. The fact that people would even think that it's okay to take race into consideration when approving for education disappoints me. Society needs to move on from the misconception that black people and Hispanic people should be held at a lower standard, while they have white people and Asian people held at an astronomical bar.

santos 7b

11/4/2022 10:04:29 am

I don't know if you actually read the article but if you did you would understand that the community of asian americans are least favored and least likely to be admitted into harvard.if you wouldve read more into this then you would've understood why this is affecting them as much as its affecting the black and hispanic communities.i feel like the only reason you have said that they are in a higher bar is the sterotype that asian have on them that they above average students though it would be racist and incrediblely stupid for you to say that.

Sydney Griffin 3a link

I personally think racism is a huge part in this society which it should'nt be. Not only is it messed up but it does changes the way us people see each other because every race, everyone has a single story. For example, I'm sure many people assuming right away when they see a Mexican as either a drug dealer, a sex trafficker or just as a bad person from what you see in the media and others say.

Ricardo Lynch 3A

Racism is one of the biggest issues in society today and it is starting to spread into education.

E.Adame 2A

11/4/2022 04:17:00 pm

I agree with you because the stereotype that any people of color deal with shouldn't affect their jobs or their education. Everyone deserves equal treatment in this world. It's not fair for certain people to have better things than others when others don't because that's not how it works.

evan anderson

11/4/2022 10:04:10 am

affirmative action, i think this a really important thing at this point in time to have schools and other things more diverse and giving minorities a chance to change the world/help just as much as non minorities.

r. suarez 3A

11/4/2022 10:57:47 am

When reading this article it really showed me how deep racism is really spreaded. Its such a scary thing to think about how racism is still a thing in the 20th century. Its also so crazy how an old thing is spreading even into our education. This really makes me realize how hard it is for minorities. I really feel sorry for what all minorities have to go through.

R. Brown 3A

11/4/2022 11:08:07 pm

I also feel sad for what minorities have gone through and still are going through, But you have to remember that minorities are not the only ones that have it hard. Bad things happen to everyone.

I find it hard to understand why colleges use race as a factor when they accept people into their courses. It has been proven that intellect does not correlate to race. This unhealthy mindset that has been instilled in colleges is extremely toxic and it needs to be stopped immediately.

Sydney Griffin 3a link

Racism is a big issue in our country because people think they are better than others. Some people don’t deserve to be treated based on their skin color. Unfortunately race is a big role in society, it could happen is school. We should spread diversity and be able to get treated the same way.

Nox (katelyn) Sears

I don ´ t understand why colleges use race as a factor when they consider who they want to accept. Intellect is different for everyone on the planet.

Knowing that race is such a big thing to collages is sick. In the 20th century people are still being judged on their intelligence baside off the color of their skin. Everyone has the capability of being greatness, and it hurts me to know collages with such high respect, programs for education still hold others account for what race they are.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

I think that race shouldn't have anything to do with a person getting into college or not. We all deserve to be treated equally and what the article talks about is insane. Racism is still such a common thing in our world and to see this happening makes me upset that people think the color of someone skin defines who they are, which isn't true because anybody can shine and prove themselves.

R. Aponte 2A link

santos 7b

it shouldn't be a common thing that people of color are being held back by their race. it shouldn't hurt any student from trying to be accepted into the colleges they deserve to get in.

Nox (katelyn) Sears

11/4/2022 07:12:14 pm

It upsets me too that people could take someone’s race and make it who they are. Racism is so common in American life and it’s so disappointing that people are still this way. We are all people and human. Why can’t we be who we are and not judged by our skin tone

Rosalyn Aponte 2A link

Our society has become very complex, but that shouldn't determine if they are capable of such things or hold anybody back from what they want to do. Everybody should be welcome and given the same respect. People are still trying to fight for equality and with this it would just bring so many more problems.

santos7b

11/4/2022 07:00:46 pm

This article is saying that the colleges are no longer involving race into factor for admissions. What they dont know is that it is hurting the asan american community that are trying to be accepted into these colleges. These colleges choose what type of diverstity they want in there so the racial hierachy push what they want to have. Harvard,for example, their goals for race-neutral alternates put a delcine in representation for black and hispanic students. This action is hurting everyone in different ways then the universities think they are hurting.

11/4/2022 07:09:34 pm

Racism is such a problem in America and I don’t understand why. Race shouldn’t let a person not be able to go to a college they dream of. We should all be accepted as we are. No matter the race! We are all human just trying to go to college and have a bright future. Colleges shouldn’t have to care about people’s race. If they are capable of going to that school they should be let in.

Paola Pina 7B

11/4/2022 07:15:19 pm

Universities and colleges should not use the affirmative action because they shouldn’t consider your race or ethnicity for admissions. Race shouldn’t be used as a “plus factor” to allow them to attend at a school. It’s crazy how this society continues to discriminate and stereotype people based on how they look and their skin color.

I am disappointed but definitely not surprised to hear about what Harvard's been doing. I don't agree with it and believe they shouldn't be worried about someones race when they're considering accepting people into their school. I hope they decide to stop "taking race into consideration."

I'm not surprised that this happened at Harvard. Harvard has had a history of these kinds of things in the past and for decades. Race has nothing to do with the work force and it should not affect who all gets a job or not.

I agree with you because if somebody wants to get a job they can no matter what race they are. You are stopping someone from making money and the people behind all of this should be embarrassed or ashamed. I wouldn't wish this on nobody but sadly in the world we live today this is how people get treated.

When it comes to the work space the skin color of a person does not determine their level of education. Also doesn’t determine if they should or shouldn’t be accepted into a certain college. These people are very brain-dead if they think a person of color has no purpose in this world. Diversity is what is needed more and our society will see a big shift in education.

This article makes me angry because why is a college is taking race into consideration as a factor in admissions. This is so disrespectful and I feel like the people that are allowing this should get fired. I wouldn't want to go to a races school because why are you treating people of different races differently. Its not fair for the ones who can't pick and choose what they wanna do.

I do not believe what Harvard has been doing is ok. Discrimination against one’s race or ethnicity should not be allowed in a college front office. Someone needs to get this under control because discrimination should not be a thing in the field of education.

I believe race shouldn't effect our opportunities, It plays no major role in education. Race is nothing but a different look, not at all a disability or makes anyone actually different.

I think that people in the office shouldn't be able to give a job to a person just because of their race. Makes no sense in my opinion because their could be a person of color with more classification for things but they'll still hire and different race just because their race. I hope race eventually doesn't determine if you get accepted into college or get a job.

Races have been put to use in the wrong ways, Races should never be in the category for education, it shouldn't be in any category really. Education is where you should learn not where you should be discriminated and feel like you don't belong. Schools should focus on education and making the students better not on their races.
