All the comments so far are about the title. But I am wondering something that may be related (but not directly about the OP): is it fair to point out when some individual did indeed get a large advantage in admissions/internships/scholarships because of gender/race?

For example, at the University of Michigan, native americans / blacks / hispanics gets a 20 points boost over whites / asians / indians. This is their published policy. I feel like we shouldn't have to pretend that everyone got in based on merit, when it is clear that some genders/races get a bonus.

Apologies if this is too sensitive of an issue to discuss openly. I am from outside the United States and we do not typically have these conversations.
