Read the piece I link to below, Rupert, if you can handle anything not from a right-wing source. The writer's got a bit of a potty mouth, but she includes an awful lot of details that the right-wing sources you're reading this from have opted to leave out.

There's some pesky details you neglected to include that were brought up in the comment section.

An Asian applicant with a 31Q MCAT score and a 3.1 GPA has a 17.9% chance of being accepted to med school (10.6% chance with only GPA considered)

While an African American applicant with THE SAME MCAT score and GPA has a 74.3% chance of being accepted (25% with only GPA considered)

This information not according to either a right or left leaning source but the Association of American Medical Colleges.

So while the author made a good point regarding the lack of a control in the 'experiment' the fact remains an African American applicant and Asian applicant with identical MCAT scores and GPA's results in the African American applicant having 4X the chance of being accepted.
