Why are some SDNers so racist?

I haven't posted in a while, but I feel AA is a slap in the face to any URM or any future doctor who gets in for such reasons. It is simply a grossly unfair policy that promotes inequality or gives unequal sub-par standards in the name of equality.

In a nation of personal accountability, it is so interesting that URMs like Allenns, Ms. Dawson and several others are always the victims. It is a role that they have learned to play to perfection, and their mastery has enabled them to create and sustain their own sense of perverse entitlement, while empowering them with a false license to label those who observe and correctly identify their insidious behavior as racists, bigots and Uncle Toms. (taken from the "Don't Hold Low MCAT Scores Against URMs" thread)

I have2 questions for everyone. Take 4 people, all grew up in a mid-sized town in a decent house with a family that is not rich but not poor (ie able to take a nice vacation once a year but no more). Now of those 4 people one is black, one is hispanic, one is indian and one is white. Their MCAT and GPA were 30Q and 3.4. They all did the same exact extra-curics and all had good LORs. They all applied to the same 4 schools Yale, UCSF, Johns Hopkins, UWash. Now who would get in first?

What if the same people came from a poor, poor, poor background (like they were the first and only ones to gradute from elemetary school, and so on). Who would get in then?

The whole AA debate is based on the misconception that whites are rich and URMs poor (or not having the same opertunities) The debate has nothing racist in it, the only racist part is the fact that the 4 people are being seperated by their race to beign with.
