I personally know white kids who did get admitted with this type of GPA.
Correct.
They act as if every White kid getting into an Ivy has to be a genius. Total and utter bull. Plenty of white kids get into prestigious schools with scores LOWER than these black triplets.
No the deal for whites isn't good. Whites pay for others to got to universities. Go look around. I never did anthing nor did my parents ot Indians or blacks or what have you but guess who is paying the bill now. Why you think that is "fair" and good for what ancestors did I don't know.

Whites pay for others? Really?
Do you get to choose what "others" you pay for?
I got two boys who need to go to college. You got 'em?
Well it appears times have changed as the mailbox is full........along with the military stuff. I guess the fed database is at hand targeting all who fit the picture. If my kid were a dummy the mailbox would be empty. Just like credit card apps they fire off to folks I guess. So it goes.
Times have not changed much, other than more advanced data analytics allowing for more targeted mailing. I work in the field and just had a graduate level paper on data analytics in private school admissions marketing published. What is your experience, other than being on the receiving end?
Your son would still have a full mailbox even if he was failing out of school, especially before PSAT, SAT, and ACTs. Those scores are really how prospective students are targeted, along with demographic information. A HBCU is not going to waste postage on white students who are very unlikely to apply, particularly since outside of Howard, Morehouse, and Spelman, most are regional schools. My college, for instance, didn't send me mail because 80% of their students come from New England, New York, California, or a major metropolis. Since I did not and was 1000 miles away, I was not even on their admissions funnel until I put myself there. And again, I still got a full tuition scholarship.
Getting promotional materials from a school DOES NOT MEAN that the school wants you. They want you to apply, but that's not the same thing as wanting you. The more applications they receive, the more selective the school can be which is good for rankings. After my SAT, I got mail from the Ivys, Stanford, Williams, Amherst, and a bunch of other elite schools even though I would not have been likely to get in (my SAT was in their low range). A mass mailer from Harvard does not mean that you have a good shot of getting into Harvard. It means your name is on a list that worked its way through Harvard's marketing algorithm to be targeted in order to continue to have high application numbers.
But it's getting away from the point: these triplets worked their tushes off to get a good GPA at a top private prep school. Without knowing anything else about them, I'd say focusing on their race is simply a sign of deflection.
''If i can't have nice things, then they can't have them either.''
-the mindset of whites
I wanted nice things.
So, this white girl worked in the heat....cool and mud.
I don't care what other have or, don't have.
