Why do non-URM envy the so-called "advantage" the URM have for admissions?

Your getting boring man, no inovation from you at all just imitation. First you rag on the way I use my hood speak, but later you start to use slag yourself, like they say imitation is the best form of flatter. Then I talk about layin pipe on your moms, and again you just bites my stylo talkin ish about my moms and sis. Come on now find some of your own material, oh ya I forgot you don't have none, you just sample stuff off other sites. Then you talk about my grammer, I said over and over and over again I am a F.O.B. (fresh off the boat), my english isn't that good okay. You being a fellow nip should understand this, your moms grammer wasn't that great either. She told me last night me so horny me luve you long time.

Okay now that you have bowed down to your father young luke skywalker I well leave you alone. You were getting boring anyway. Nothing original to say you know, being my bastard son and all I thought you would have good genetics
 
You people should really PM me more often when others get out of hand....don't wait till the last minute to warn me. By then the entire thread is destroyed.

Please, carry on with the original intent of this thread.
 
I agree. Definitely got me all riled up. I felt like one of those mean hunters who comes back home with the head of a bull to nail it up on the mantle piece.

Except it wasn't a head . . . .I felt like nailing someobdy's @@@. People can make all the dirty jokes they want but not in a condescending way; and definitely no cursing allowed!!
 
i was real surprised to see this english ..... here...
 
what is going on to this thread yo? after i left for a day or two, whoa, so many people got banned? what? even street philosopher got banned? what did he do? what a shame you people.
 
I liked Street. What did he do?
 
He probably changed his title.
 
That's funny. I didn't ban the poor kid.. 🙁 Did he do something wrong in another thread??? I don't have the time to check out his threads right now. I hope it's just some weird freakish error.

He was quite the helpful character to all of us.
 
haha smartie pants!! he isn't banned. he just changed his title.
 
haha lol. you gotta admit though, some of those posts were pretty funny.

Why is it that in one threat you say to STOP talking about URM advantage and just live with it, but then bump up an archaic post to spite everyone?

Its the Hippocratic oath, not hypocrisy, that is valued 🙄
 
you people make me sick.... well most of you. :laugh:
 
To my surprise this thread got bumped up. It must have been 3 months since the last post, until today.

I do NOT oppose threads, but I thought a few of the folks on the 1 million AA threads might get a kick out of how some URM's feel. Geez, some of you people really need an bowel cleansing and probably need to lighten up. Some of the post on this thread were pretty funny.

And, I'd like to formally nominate Gleevec as most likely to be a proctologist:laugh: And since we're on the subject why are you ALWAYS in my As%? I'm not into anal or same gender sex:laugh:

This thread was bumped to give another point of view. You and people like you are ALWAYS so threatned by URM's with points of view that differ from your own. Hopefully, you won't be applying to schools with ANY URM representation (or perhaps you'll marticulate Ward Conally) types!

Wow your maturity really shines.

And that doesnt change the fact that in another tread you say ORMs should IGNORE AA and stop talking about it.

I guess in your mind simple mind though, saying "ass" eliminates all need to take responsibility for your hypocritic comments and actions.

Congratulations, you are as mature as my 8 year old cousin. 🙄
 
path is a grown woman and is mature so keep ur creepy comments to yourself.

There are 3 sides to an argument, my side, your side, and the right side.

Is AA fair? I don't care. It's pointless to argue that it's not fair that someone with lower stats is accepted over someone with higher stats because of AA. Why? Because all that it matters is the person entering that medical school, makes it through and graduates to become one hell of a doctor.

And the crying about the higher stat person not getting in cuz of AA....get over it. If the high stat person was meant to be a doctor then he'll get interviews elsewhere.

And no, I am not a URM. Yes, I have been accepted to several schools already both law as well as med and yes, I've also been rejected by several schools while friends of mines with lower stats are getting interviewed. I don't attribute it to AA, I attribute it to perhaps the fact there was something the school didn't like about me.

Life is never fair....it's not fair for babies to be born with HIV, it's not fair for people to be handicapped by drunken drivers....but life goes on because we're able to work with what we're given.

All this 'fighting' has really gotta chill cuz we're all going to be colleagues one day.

I hate to read on SDN about people complaining about how they got it hard because they're asian or white and it's so much harder for them to get into med school.😡 You people envy the fact that in general URM do get into med schools with lower numbers. You wish you were in their shoes or had the so-called edge.

BUT did you want to be in their shoes when they had to grow up in the ghetto? Or how they had to work hard all through college because their parents were recent immigrants who couldn't afford to help pay for college? Or how unequitable society treats black people.

No non-URM even the ones that were poor never had to face the discrimination that a URM faces everyday of their life. And even when they are successful and become something an ignorant fool diminishes their accomplishments because it is assumed you got into Med, Law, Business school, etc because of affirmative action.

don't have time to read through all previous posts, but:

BUT did you want to be in their shoes when they had to grow up in the ghetto?
are u saying that caucasians and asians don't grow up in the ghetto? look at places like chinatown, koreatown, little saigon, midwest farms, etc. in these places, u might be caucasian or asian, but many are often still near the poverty line. the american farmers have a pretty rough life compared to everyone else--breaking their backs and at the mercy of weather/large corporations like fast food chains, etc.

Or how they had to work hard all through college because their parents were recent immigrants who couldn't afford to help pay for college?

A sizeable percentage of recent immigrants wouldn't be considered as URM. Look at the immigrants from Southeast Asia, South Asia, East European countries, etc. These immigrants aren't considered as URM. On the other hand, immigrants from South American countries, Mexico, and the African countries would be considered as URM.

When you say "work through college", it's very misleading. No matter what race/ethnicity u are, you will get need-based scholarships via FAFSA/uncle sam if ur parents don't make enuff money. What people often fail to see is that the middle class folks are the ones who suffer the most. If you're "poor", the gov't will pay for your education. If you're rich, your parents will have no problems paying for your education. If you're middle class, no matter what race, your parents will have some trouble paying tuition since uncle sam ain't helping out as much. The middle class peeps are the ones who have to work the most to support their education.
 
I don't know the stats or anything but I don't think URMs are getting into med school with 20's on their MCATs and 2.5 GPA. I think that if there is 1 opening for 2 candidiates and all things being equal they choose the URM, I have no problem with that. by the way does Colombian count as a URM? who cares I hope it wont come down to that (but if it did and it helped well i certainly wouldn't turn it down,as I'm sure most of those complaining wouldn't either if put in that spot) ok i'm done
 
Haha So...now we dont have enough AA threads so we have to get out shovels & dig up a really dead horse to beat. (What's even funnier is that this one was dug up by someone who recently urged us to ignore AA!)😱
:laugh: :laugh:

I believe in AA but the way the University of Michigan did it is unfair because they put a numerical value on being a certain race. That being said there is absolutely nothing wrong with using race/ethnicity/socioeconomic status as factors in trying to put together a diversified class but you can't automatically give someone 20 points for it.

I agree 100% about this (surprisingly). But I just feel that right now race is given to much of a preference over the socioeconomic status. And I feel race should be phased out over the next 10-20 years.
I also just found out today the University of Michigan medical school pays for the flight for all URM's, and I'm not at all a fan of that. Mount Sinai also only has a second look weekend for URM's, not other people.

Oh right we should just ignore any sense of unfairness because there are worse things that could happen?

Oh, muh bad Macgyver I guess I wasn't clear. Let me rephrase:

Stop b****ing over life's unfairness and deal with it. Life is never fair, it's far from perfect, and it's a b***ch. Life throws ironies at you constantly. You take what you can get and make the best out of it, that's part of being strong.
 
Why were so many posters on this thread banned?

Maybe it's some sort of selection bias where people who are likely to commit acts warranting banning would also be willing to post strong opinions on this touchy and historically hotly debated topic, lol
 
This thread died in 2003 and now it's dying again. If you have something fresh to offer, start a new one in SP but this one's done.
