Oh, this debate feels as old as the universities themselves.

But the dude you are responding to has for an argument the idea that universities do this because more diversity might benefit education.
Call me crazy, but I think good professors is really what makes education good, but if you require those mental gymnastics to claim statistics are being twisted to deny context, that right there is part of the problem.

I got invited to apply to an ivy leage university after my not very high ACT. I'm sure was because I'm Ecuadorian, and US universities crave to collect nationalities like if we were Pokémon, just so they can print that they represent 77 nationalities on their brochures.

Ah! So you claim it was thought to be fictional, but I guess they looked for it despite your better judgment? The nerve of these people!
