If you ignore that aspect of who I am, then you're ignoring me as a person.scottmcrockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443168472392620197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16413529.post-71933058352050980162012-02-28T22:36:38.745-05:002012-02-28T22:36:38.745-05:00Good post.

I remember when my friends in college would subscribe to colorblindness..and I think I tried to do it too but the more you learn about someone of color and experience their culture (my roommate and all of her friends were from India) I started to see seeing her color played a major role in understanding her. <br /><br />This also reminds me of the young lady in Texas who is upset about not getting into the University of Tx and blames affirmative action. Now the supreme court might overturn allowing colleges to look at race as a factor in admissions. Man its absolutely insane what this girl is doing. You know how many people dont get into UT and go to A&M or Tech instead and apply the next year and get in. Does she not see that the percentage of people of color at any Tx school is already extremely low. And the icing on the cake is that the top 10% of any high school graduating class in the state of Tx gets automatic admission into any school in the state. Anyway, this article ties so well into this issue. Im thinking the college demographic will greatly change if the supreme court votes to take race out of the picture.American history has taught me that it only takes 1 to change the course of history forever. Okay enough ranting. Just some thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663794160941118981noreply@blogger.com
