Thanks for this, but while the article is misleading, it's not misleading to say that race/representation is a silly notion that should be excised from academia. I get helping economically disadvantaged people of any race should absolutely be a priority, the point is science. It's very unscientific to constantly be concerned with quotas based on race.

That's the left's racism, isn't it? They constantly equate black = poor.

    Simple solution, don't base it race at all. Base it on ability and economics. I certainly don't want anyone who has the ability to be denied an opportunity to study just because they can't afford it. But basing it on race quotas is just as racist.
