So the chart says:

> Acceptance rates for students with slightly higher and slightly lower than average GPAs and test scores are displayed in the other columns. In other words, the table above displays acceptance rates by race/ethnicity for students applying to US medical schools with average academic credentials, and just slightly above and slightly below average academic credentials.

So, uh, what? The argument is that it's now awful and horrible that average black students are accepted more frequently than average white students? Who cares.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 cares.

Presumably by your logic it would also care if black students weren't being accepted at an average rate? This is a silly conversation.

		If they were being accepted at lower rates despite having the same index scores, then yes, that would be a huge civil rights act problem too!
