Universities do take race in mind, but aren't racist in my opinion.When universities look for aplicants they look for all different types of abilities, like character, academic achievements, and determination. Universities are just trying to make the best of their students with what they give them such as cultural backrounds and ideas which can change and help the way students take on life. The goal is to extend their knowledge of the world with people from other places. It is very true how most universities chose a range of ethnic groups over the average white American to diverse their college. They want a broader range of students on campus because it makes their college look better. If I applied to a college it would be easier for me to get in than an average American even if we have the exact same GPA and test scores because I'm half-Colombian. Only half and they consider me as more diverse. I think this article is acurate and that schools do this for a good reason. Insuring all students can take advantage of learning from other students cultures and lifestyles.
