On Tuesday, the supreme court decided that it will reconsider a decision made in 2003 that allows college admission boards to use race in their selection process. There are states, such as California, that still don't allow college admission boards to use race as a distinguishing characteristic when admitting students. I think that race should be completely taken of any college boards deciding factors. America isn't like what it was during the civil rights movement. Minorities are equally represented now in everything. Just because someone might not belong to a minority doesn't mean that they should have a harder time getting into college. Why is it fair that someone who might have a diverse ancestry should be accepted over an identical person who might not be considered a minority? Just about everyone in America has ancestors that immigrated her from another country.
