Grades and test scores should determine who gets into elite colleges. It should not be based on race, gender, etc.

Why do we, society as a whole, continue to allow it to happen then? This goes from our top universities to the community colleges. I know some people got free rides based on the skin color, last names and social economic status. A full ride from undergrad to almost finishing her Master at USC but only had a 3.2 GPA out of high school. If my kids go to SC, I will be broke. Look at the higher up at a large school district like ours. Where are the Asians taken those positions? My friend whom I grew up with (Mexican American) has one of those fantastic desk jobs up there pulling in 160k. He tells me that Hispanic will move up just fine if they qualify because they are the majority now. Asians are dead last having almost no chance with white just one rung on top of the Asians. Don't tell me that there are no qualify white news anchor. In a couple of our local news stations, they are all minorities. I use to see city street crews being mainly white and Hispanics when I was a kid. Now they are all Hispanic. Don't tell me the white guy are too good for those type of jobs which they have no interest in? All its needed is a shovel to hold up one's head making 50-60 bucks an hour. If that's not race based, what is?
