      prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

      Prejudice - why do people of certain color need more handholding? Are you saying they are not as capable because of their race?

      Discrimination - if you prop up one group over others, you are discriminating others. If you do it solely based on their skin color, that is racist.

        Prejudice - (preconceived opinions not based on reason or actual experience) students with better SAT scores will perform better in college. There’s no evidence to support this and it is still a major deciding factor in college admissions.

        Discrimination - (unjust treatment of different categories of people) the argument over what is “just” treatment will likely never end. I believe it is unjust that primary school districts in the USA can vary wildly in quality.

          Okay, so lets come up with something different than SAT since we are unable to keep the same goal for everyone… based on their race

          I believe it is unjust that primary school districts in the USA can vary wildly in quality.

          Thank you for recognizing that poor caucasians and asians also exist, and that rich black people exist.
