U-M Affirmative Action case heard before Supremes

[Q Classic]

i dislike aa. i'm a minority, why don't i get it?

oh, right, cause i've "assimilated". well, what about those fobs who haven't "assimilated"? sucks to be them.

I am generally against AA, despite recognizing it's good intentions. Like modern feminism, it is something that is divisive for humanity and will continue to perpetuate an "us and them" mentality.
People should recieve compassion regardless of their race. I think we would be much better off if people stopped supporting AA and started supporting Socialism instead.

BAMN is definitely bad news. I support AA, but I hate those ****ers. They are basically an arm of a revolutionary socialist organization, and are generally very intolerant of the views of others. If you dare oppose AA, they call you a racist--horse**** like that.


Q Cubed--as I've said previously, if there is one thing about the UM policy that I would change, it would be to provide AA for Asians. It really doesn't make much sense to me why it is not provided.

Wow! Where did he go for undergrad and what were his LSAT scores? I'm going to be applying for Law School next year, but I haven't taken my LSATS yet.

Are they that bad? Pretty much person that I saw had either a BAMN shirt or BAMN protest poster. I highly doubt that many people know who they represent. It sounds like an International ANSWER situation.

He did undergrad at U-M; no idea what his LSATs were, but I'd guess they were on the farcically high end. I'm not one for false modesty; I know I'm a fairly intelligent guy, book-learnin' wise. But around this kid, I always felt like... well... Dan Quayle. (Not that he showed off or anything... as smart as he is, he's even more nice than smart.)


Anyway, yeah, BAMN is very bad news. My fiancee used to be on the student government here at UM, she mixed it up with them many, many times. Their situation is quite similar to ANSWER; I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they are actually linked in a concrete way.

There could be more than two opinions. There probably will be actually.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Jaguar... I bet there will.

At least one concurrence, and at least two dissents.

[Guynemer]

Probably true; especially considering that there are actually two separate cases in this, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there is a split, i.e. pro-UM undergrad, anti-UM law school, or vice versa.

How many total opinions did Bakke have?

[SpencerH]

You cant take too much from the questioning done by the supremes since it doesnt always match their final opinions. Sometimes they're just playing devils advocate.

[Zkribbler]

...And sometimes they change their minds later.
