AA isn't about lowering standards but allowing opp to qualified ppl who would otherwise be excluded but for their race. 4. Legacies are abt historical advantage to white ppl

@Jtrap161 @aaley101 @Chemswagg @Dredpirater @Jarich01 @haintological When have black people ever asked white people to “lower the standard”?
