<p>How is affirmative action different from race-based anti-URM policies. Both are advancing a specific group of people at the cost of the equality of others. What do you mean not one respectable person would argue they are the same? That is the reason the case regarding it is in the Supreme Court right now, so again take your idealogy with people having to owe you something because you’re black away because effectively that is the argument that you are making in that comment. Why don’t we do the same for the Japanese who we held in internment camps? Philovitist, you laugh that races are not that different? They really aren’t go back to freshman biology people differ by a couple alleles on the skin, so unless you are an actual racist in thinking that black people are less adept and should be held to the same standards lets not laugh at people who actually think they should be held to the same standards as everyone and be expected to perform as well as everyone else.</p>
<p>And for all the morons, yes morons, who say colleges like Columbia can do whatever they want because they are a private college are completely misinformed. As i said before they receive a large amount of money from the Federal government and if they were to not follow the regulations of the government, their money would be cut off; this is why Columbia was first to argue in favor of Affirmative Action in Fisher v. UT because they know the result affects the future of their “positive discrimination.”</p>
