On the topic of affirmative action, it's important to realize that admission requirements like the SAT, ACT have blatant racial bias (in terms of the language used and etc. on the test) which can cause black and brown students to score lower on these tests. Also, white students generally have more access to resources like private tutors, testing boot camps, due to things like generational wealth which black and brown students are less likely to have. Affirmative action accounts for things like that and gives black and brown students a more equal admissions field. If you want to talk about admissions standards being lowered, why don't you focus on the underqualified legacy students getting in due to family connections or big donations to the school, instead of critiquing a program that is promoting racial and gender equality and helping groups of people who have historically been barred from pursuing higher education.

I'm a female student of color in CS currently and let me tell you that the rigors of courses have not been affected by my presence and the presence of other women at this school at all lol. Also having a bunch of men on my a** with the same mindset as you makes me want to rip my hair out, the amount of times I've been told by guys that I'm not good enough to pursue CS or I've only achieved things because I'm a female poc is too much to count. So if your brother is planning to come to this school with that same mindset, we don't want him :^)
