This is basically the same topic. If you had a college age son who had excellent grades and an impressive background but was admitted to college and had to pay full tuition - but a mostly illiterate - but excellent - football player got a full scholarship to the same college, how would you feel?
Colleges need diversity but if the only thing between a white student and a minority is race in admitting only one - it is a no-win situation. Otherwise, grades and extra circular activities are what should be used. Be color blind.
