University of Chicago eliminates SAT/ACT requirement
The University of Chicago will no longer require ACT or SAT scores from U.S. students, sending a jolt through elite institutions of higher education as it becomes the first top-10 research university to join the test-optional movement.
Numerous schools, including well-known liberal arts colleges, have dropped or pared back testing mandates in recent years to bolster recruiting in a crowded market. But the announcement Thursday by the university was a watershed, cracking what had been a solid and enduring wall of support for the primary admission tests among the two dozen most prestigious research universities.
[...] U-Chicago is also expanding financial aid and scrapping in-person admission interviews, which had been optional. Instead, it will allow applicants to send in two-minute video pitches, in an effort to connect with a generation skilled at communicating via cellphone clips.

You did a nice job missing the point there. The whole thing is don't worry about other groups, quit making YOURSELF a part of the "white" group, which serves as a boogeyman for those groups. There's no need for others to stop grouping you, stop grouping yourself and buying into the narrative the media is trying to push on you. There is no such group as "white". Stop trying to be a member of that group. THAT is how you destroy the stupidity pushed by mainstream media, because every SJW that is angry about alt-retards but still allows themselves to be co-opted as a "white" by those idiots is just fuel for the fire.
