		<description><![CDATA[When I read Senator Jim Webb&#8217;s &#8220;Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege&#8221; article in the Wall Street Journal, my reaction to it was similar to Roger Clegg&#8217;s at The Corner. Webb calls for an end to &#8220;government-directed diversity programs,&#8221; and writes that laws against discrimination should apply to everyone equally. 
But he says America [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Americans of Asian descent are a non-preferred minority. Most of the time, they are not the intended beneficiaries of race-based government policies. Consequently, they face discrimination. For example, Princeton University professor Thomas Espenshade authored a study that revealed black students with 1150s and whites 1460s had the same chance of admission to elite schools as [...]]]></description>

The notion of holistic review is to consider the whole person, that is, the person&#8217;s life experiences. &#8220;I want a system that more effectively considers multiple [...]]]></description>
