Yes, in post #56.

<p>I have qualified that statement.</p>

The first one supports your disagreement with my statement, but the second one is consistent with my statement.

</p>

<p>The second is not consistent with your statement, silverturtle. You cited AA as the reason applicants were automatically - and universally - presumed unworthy. My second statement allows for other possibilities, but that is all; I do not see how both are identical.</p>

@silverturtle

I’m still not seeing a generalization there, or, for that matter, anything that is inconsistent with what I have argued at any point.

</p>

<p>Oh?</p>

@ksarmand

Affirmative action, in most cases, does not automatically cause people to assume that the applicant was unqualified; many of them would have drawn such a conclusion without the existence of that policy - again, the achievements of many are denigrated even where affirmative action does not apply.

<p>This was not your argument.</p>
