Yeah, Normal. I'm a half-black male that was accepted to a well known university in the midwest. I was accepted on academic performance (28 ACT/ 3.9 unweighted GPA). I accepted a 'diversity' scholarship at said school to help with financing said school choice hoping to meet like minded smart and diverse individuals through the required meetings for the scholarship. I was sooooo wrong, the 'diverse' people looked like they had been picked up off the street, loud, and ill mannered and the meetings were about how to send an email to your professor and not using text language and addressing your superiors properly and proper attire for formal gatherings (really?!). In short, I totally agree with you OP! Totally normal. I think such things should be based on skills and performance, not color of skin or heritage.
IIN to think minorities get accepted over me
