I didn't realize racism was so alive on these forums.

Yep... it's a shame so many people believe in Affirmative Action

I was referring to the people who thought the whole exercise was "funny", as opposed to "insulting". But you knew that.

My position is similar to Lincoln's.

Minority price. SCOTUS decided that one in Gong Lum v. Rice in 1928, IIRC. (Suit about probably the only Chinese-American kid in Mississippi, and whether he'd be allowed to go to the white kid's school, or the colored school out in the county, since they didn't want to build a separate slant-eye school to maintain "separate but equal"

So anyway, it's official, you're colored.

sweet! then why don't we benefit from affirmative action? we've been getting gypped all these years then... does this mean we can also get aid from the NAACP?

I think that was changed later or at least was different in other southern states. I took and As-Am class in college to fill my multicultural requirement and in that class the teacher said most southern states didn't know how to classify Asians since society was divided up between Blacks and Whites. Since Asians obviously weren't black they were officially classified as white and used the same bathrooms, drinking fountains, and what not as whites.

well, we're not white. we're the "other" in "white/other". that's what i remember i was in school. it was nice to have black history month, and latino history things, and white history year. oh, and that one small mention for chinese new year, 'cause, well, we know, all the asians are chinese, and only the chinese celebrate new years at the wrong time.

they're colored but not AS COLORED.

let's use some newspeak.

white = doubleplusgood
asian = plusgood
hispanic = good
mixes of above= ungood
black = doubleplusungood

plusgood only when we sit down, shut up, and don't make too much noise, even when the riots destroy all of our stores, laundry shops, whatever.

see, i was sitting on marta the other day, just reading a book, and some guy comes and sits next to me. that's just bad enough, because there were plenty of other seats, but then he asks if i'm japanese. i say no, that i'm korean; he nods, and asks me when i'm going to go back to korea. and right before he gets off, he says goodbye in asian: "sayonara".

there is one perk. we all know kung fu, and we're all disciples of kung fu'tzu.

Well there you have it. The sale of three biscuits is news.

We're doomed, aren't we? Whichever way you look at it, humanity is just too crap to survive. Even if the Giant Pandas don't drop the bamboo diet and start ****ing for Jesus we'll still beat them to extinction.

Just a question, do private universities restrict all forms of political protest, or only those that cause offense to liberals and minorities?

[Q Classic]

well, uchicago doesn't. we had some conservative woman who said feminism was a disaster speak there.

it was advertised pretty well, too. though i didn't go, because they weren't offering free food at the talk.

Q cubed, your are making a lot of good points why race-based affirmative action is wrong when race predominates over other considerations. As Etchelon noted in an earlier post, affirmative action in Germany exists, but is not based on race. I believe affirmative action is valid to overcome disadvantages that the individual has suffered. These are primarily due to poverty. But if the specific disadvantage of the individual is not considered, we could find a rich black dude gaining admission over an equal qualified, but poor Korean, simply due to race.

Race consideration should be permitted when all other factors are equal and the particular race is under-represented in the student population. I believe this is what the Supremes said was constitutionally permissible, and they are right, IMO.

How did these guys get the cookies to sell anyway?

Everyone knows that baking is a womans job!

Was it Bay Buchanan? She gave a similar speech at Nebraska and it was actually quite thought-provoking. Would've been even better if the feminists in the audience had asked real questions instead of just shouting at her.

[Q Classic]

yeah! bay buchanan.

again, i didn't go~ no free food. have to say it's a bit shallow of me, but i honestly don't care too much about feminism. as long as my gf feels liberated enough to do what she wants, it's fine by me.

The usual anti-AA rant on a board with a smaller percentage of blacks and hispanics than your average country club. When will the next anti-women rant start?

Its good to know the opinions of middle class white males are solidly defended here!

Preferably to you, right?
