Just because I am Latino some people on my freshman floor suggested that I got into SMU because of some sort of special program. They were right. It was called the Honors Program.
Yet, the same people never said a word about how two mentally [deleted] Sorority girls in my stats class managed to get out of high school much less into SMU. The same people never said a word about the KA in my finance class who made a 16 on the mid-term.
SMU was very good to me and the vast majority of students were good people. Nevertheless,it wasn't all wine and roses.
Do like I have and accept that many will never understand this point. No need to beat a dead pony.

Except in sports right?
Pretty sure they are recruiting athletes. Their race is what it is...and not a determining factor in their recruitment. You seem to be in the right area code, but then you swerve of into space and lose the plot a bit.

Point is the aid is not based on athletics. And by the way Puck, while I may differ with you at times I appreciate the way you go about it. You can disagree without being disagreeable.

I do. Furthermore, I understand that I had an opportunity to "blend in" that black students didn't.
