Faking race and getting in article

I would make a couple points except that this is the wrong place to make them (and also I stay out of the correct place to make them because it's usually utter garbage). Multiple people have said these discussions should be limited to the sociopolitical forums because otherwise every thread devolves into this kind of arguing in which all parties make points that have been made a thousand times before. Stop trying to continue it.

Edit: Nvm I was thinking of a different thread that devolved into useless bickering about URM status in admissions. Still, let's not inject it here.

"Utter garbage"

Can't say I've ever seen a serious affirmative action or URM thread in the SPF, at least not in past year or so. Most physicians/students don't really care. That's more of a bitter premed thing.
But thank you for covertly inserting this shibboleth. It really doesn't get repeated often enough.

Damn, I didn't know that.. But other people in this thread have said the same thing and I quote...
"I feel that people who get upset over URMs are just deflecting blame from their own application/life. I have plenty of family that have gone through medical school with "URMs" and these individuals are the ones that often go back and serve in these "less desirable" communities. So unless you are willing to sign a binding contract on admission to medical school that you'll go and serve these populations STFU (had to rant because I've been hearing this sorry excuse from people in real life as the cycle starts up again)"

How is my statement any more off topic? When I posted, these were the comments I was addressing

There were previous posts regarding the same thing; URM status and NOT the thread title/topic. I fail to understand how much more I went off topic than them

Stop, please. Leave it alone.
