"When Walter Fortson was arrested in 2007 for dealing in crack cocaine, the police officer told him “your life is over.” In 2012, he is studying with honors in Rutgers University and the only New Jersey undergraduate to receive the prestigious $30,000 Truman Scholarship.

Was there really a need to create yet another URM thread to post this? You couldn't just post it in the existing threads?

Not to mention that this isn't a counterargument to anything.

At least it won't be you "taking a spot" with that academic violation on your record.

What does this have to do with URMs in med school?

 

[CeeEstee0]

I feel no animosity towards URMs.




Props to Walter for turning his life around.

I'm soo tired of URMs complaining about discrimination! DEAL WITH IT.

Just in case anyone wondered I am just pointing out how ridiculous this type of comment is, not expressing my personal belief 😀

1. In b4
2. Stop
3. If URM's weren't offered an advantage, people would scream racism all over the place because those with more qualified stats would tend to come from the ORMs...

I think affirmative action does its job well but is by no means a permanent solution. Anyhow that's saved for another discussion. Why did you post this again? 😕

URMs are offered an advantage due to racism.
