does anyone else see the racial profiling? trying to sharpen my pencil here, and this kid keeps cutting in line... I'm running out of time!

Definition of racial profiling, according to Dictionary.com:

"government activity directed at a suspect or group of suspects based solely on race"

Given the obvious ability for accusations involving race by non-Government to be considered racial profiling, I am removing "government" from the definition, and using the following modified definition instead, and will be referring to it during the rest of my post:

"activity directed at a suspect or group of suspects based solely on race"

I believe there is a crystal-clear racial profiling problem in America's higher-level academia admissions criteria. It has to do with preventing qualified citizens from pursuing educational opportunities whereby they are, on paper, every bit qualified, by all standards, for the look. 

Except color seems to introduce a determinant that negates the aforementioned.  

I am talking about the requirement for us to disclose our race on school, primarily graduate level, academic applications, because they are required, even incentivized, to admit a certain % of certain minority races, relative to their admission class, despite a "standardized" entry barrier and determinant testing process. 

It's blatant racial profiling. Let's break apart the definition.

     "race" - an applicant's ethnicity 

     "suspect or group of suspects" - the applicants who do not meet the specified minority race criteria

     "activity" - limiting the # of applicants who do not meet specified criteria

     Therefore:

"activity directed at a suspect or group of suspects based solely on race"

     becomes:

 

     "(limiting the # of applicants admitted who do not meet specified criteria) directed at (the applicants who do not meet the specified minority race criteria) based solely on (an applicant's ethnicity)"

      huh...

I therefore will assume that because I do not meet the specified minority race criteria, as I am Caucasian, and due to the fact that the # of applicants indicating Caucasian race will be limited, regardless of standardized comparison indicating a more qualified application relative to non-minorities, I run the risk of denial of admission due to the color of my skin.

Wow. Thought we were done with racism in America? Anyone else see a problem here, perhaps a digression in social reform? 

     

The non-minority is therefore implied, or "suspect"-ed to be, somehow less worthy of consideration, despite rigorous standardization, or "suspect"-ed to be in less-need of the education than the minority, despite rigorous standardization. 

Regardless of my standardized performance, simply probability indicates the color of my skin could prevent me from prospering in a free society. 

Good thing I'm Caucasian! That means I must be rich already and don't need grad school! HA!
