I hate some people more than I hate others.

Terry brings a new perspective WHY ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO SILENCE HIM.
Soon enough, tumblr will dictate that women will be exempt from being sexist because they are the oppressed gender.

narrative doesn't apply to that context

and also its not 'no one is interested in genuine discussion,' it's just that you're wrong and no one likes talking to a brick wall unless as mentally unstable as my mother

Case in point.

This is why I don't get involved in these discussions - no one is ever interested in genuine discussion they just want to pander their own viewpoint. The second I cite a fact everyone loses their - as if the existence of affirmative action is some sort of myth.

You misunderstand the point I think Terry is trying to make. Whether or not more white students are enrolled in college or applying to a program is irrelevant. Percentages demonstrate the amount within that number that is
accepted. Terry is pointing out that more blacks are accepted with the same qualifications as whites. 88% of blacks are accepted when they have the exact same qualifications as whites - only 33% of whom are accepted.

this is such a stupid argument, like it's nearly my bedtime so i'm not gonna divulge deep into it but holy crap lol

Yes - basic statistical fact is a stupid argument. I have simply pointed out the fact that percentage-wise blacks are favored over whites in applying to med school. That isn't even an argument it is just a summation of statistics. I haven't implied anything about racism, discrimination etc. If you took a day in statistics you'd understand how percentages work so please don't try and infantilize me and dismiss a simple summary of data.

ctrl+f percentanges, apply it to your observation and you can see the ignorance

*sigh* I understand the problems that arise from statistics. All I have pointed out is that statistically when drawing from a pool of blacks and whites with the same qualifications medical schools disproportionately choose blacks. Explain what is wrong with that observation.
