Entäs tämä white privilege?
USAssa kolmasosa collegeen pyrkijöistä joutuu valehtelemaan olevansa osaksi jotain muuta etnistä alkuperää saadakseen akateemista sekä taloudellista etua. Does not sound very privileged to me.
Survey: 34% of white college students lied about their race to improve their admission, financial aid odds
A recent survey has found that 34% of its white respondents admitted to lying about being part of a racial minority to boost their chances of getting accepted into college.
Taking advantage: The survey, which questioned 1,250 white college applicants aged 16 and up, discovered that 34% of them lied in their applications, according to Intelligent.
Forty-eight percent of them falsely claimed to be of Native American descent, and about 9% of them lied about being Asian American or Pacific Islander. Around 81% of the students who lied said they did it to increase their chances of getting admitted to their preferred schools, while 50% hoped to benefit from minority-focused financial aid.
About 75% of the students who made false claims got accepted into the schools they lied to.
Se tosiaan tarkoittaa että joku muu kuin valkoinen on etuoikeutettu.
