Who else opposes race-based affirmative action?

Let’s see:
-“even distribution”
-“racist”
-see for yourself; look at your many “quotes”

I think you need to work on your comprehension. I wasn’t nitpicking anybody’s word choice in my last post.



^ Again? I know them and have heard about them. They receive various scholarships from affirmative action groups and are outliers when it comes to academics. Many people have verified this, even guidance counselors. I’m sure many others have seen this as well in other schools. There is no doubt about it, so stop questioning its validity for the 3rd time.

Oh man! Questioning the validity of dubious statements? How dare somebody do that? I mean, it’s not like it’s suspicious that you know these details about other people. It’s not strange that you talk about others’ scholarships with counselors–nope not at all.

Though, I’m almost certain you made that tidbit about the guidance counselor up. Counselors don’t release information like that to other students.

Since you’re ignoring the content of my posts, I’ll ask you again: do you deny that there are whites and Asians who are equally undeserving of their position in higher education? If not, why is it unfair only when it occurs through affirmative action?

And again, nobody really cares about what you believe. As long as there is social inequality, then there will be a need to “level the playing field.” I don’t know if these high-tier universities enact such policies out of perceived responsibility or because it’s strictly mandated by the government, but I don’t feel as though it’s such a disastrous idea (and guess what? I’m white). You sound like one of these kids who’s so bitter about not getting his way (maybe you got rejected by your first choice?), that he can’t see it any other way.

Now I have work to do.
