"It may be because you’re the wrong race."

The group is using the site to collect the names, contact information and stories of people who were rejected by West Point, the Naval Academy or the Air Force Academy or who are planning to apply to those institutions.

Blum said he hopes the military academies will clarify in the next few weeks whether they would continue to use race and ethnicity as admissions factors.

"If they intend to continue using race and ethnicity as a factor, then it is very likely that litigation will follow," he said.
