Affirmative Action = euphemism for "quotas"

White people aren\'t being discriminated against due to the quota system???  Tell that to the kid who has all the grades and test scores, yet gets denied acceptance due a college having to take a minority that has inferior grades and test scores - THAT IS DISCRIMINATION.

I didn\'t feel like applying for any scholarships as you have to fill out enough paperwork to get student loans alone and I was 32 when I went through school to get my masters degree - they didn\'t give a crap about my class rank in high school LMAO... sheesh... My SAT\'s scores were somewhere slightly above 1200 and what class system would rank you at 9?  The remedial classes maybe?  Let me know what college accepts you (cough cough).  Don\'t even try and present yourself as even remotely intelligent or superior to me intellectually - just look at your moronic OJ thread as an example.

Oh don\'t feel sorry for my child, for he will never have friends like you.  You wouldn\'t be welcome in my house - and it has nothing to do with your race.  Its your tacky bling bling taste in everything and your moronic views on this country.


Your reply brought back the movie "American History X". The kid was so into learning about other cultures, but the dad spilled his BS about the world.

Tacky taste, just b/c it isn\'t your own huh...

Like I said the DoI is not a law. But it stated the reasons why they declared independence in the first place. If those reasons are broken now, what was the use of it?

Quotas affect everybody...I believe that is what I said.

It\'s funny how you seem to be lost in your own sense of self satisfaction and ignorance. So I\'m not going to fight it. You are King. You are the most intelligent creature in the world. And if being intelligent has anything to do with believing any of the beliefs you have, I\'ll rather stay stupid.

Well...My school is number 2 in Texas. Science and Engineering Magnet. I don\'t know about OJ b/c I didn\'t live in this country at the time the case happened. You can consider yourself as highly as you please, but I will never accept a person with views like yours capable of being intelligent. Period.

Stereotyping are we ("Bling Bling") Well I think that your old views on the world and conservative ways are moronic. But you are always right my lord.

What does your son having a friend "like me" have to do with discrimination? Also, what is your heritage? Weren\'t the original settlers accepting immigrants and worked together with them and at the same time consuming their culture? Isn\'t that why there are Taco-bells, Taco-Bueno, Domino\'s Pizza, Panchos...etc? Your "culture" is not defined as being one that only speaks English. In fact, your culture has been the most influenced by other cultures in this country. This COUNTRY has been the most influenced by cultures from all over the world, being in a position were you are not willing to accept "other" cultures other than your own is basically saying that you aren\'t accepting what your country has become.
Don\'t try to confuse me with what you call  facts, my mind is already made up.

Affirmative Action is constitutional as long as it is used properly. When it went to the supreme court last year(?) they ruled that it was constitutional because the school used race/gender as one of many qualifiers.

Example of how affrimative action works in college admissions:

Black Samurai University has an admissions acceptance limit of 60 points.

- Students get 1 point for every GPA point(on a 4.0 scale) with a max of 40 points.

- Students that play sports get 5 points. Students that play big name sports get an extra 5 points.

- Students get 3 points for every extra curricular.

- Students get points based on proximity to the school(Max=20; Min=5)

- Females get an extra 5 points.

- Minority Students get an extra 5-10 points(based on current campus minority population).

It doesn\'t work EXACTLY like above but that is the gist of it. Race/Gender is part of a larger scheme.

The reason other cultures have been embraced is because they adapted to our English speaking society - meaning they learned the language.  Language was the common bond between those that immigrated here and those that were here.  Refusing to speak English AND being an illegal alien is where I have the problem Mystiq.  

My culture is an English speaking culture as I am American.  My ancestors spoke German as well as English, but the language that binds them both is English and it is how I came to be.  Your weak examples of food - Taco Bell and Taco Bueno are a joke.  I accept those that accept this countries laws and customs which does not mean they have to give up their own at the same time.  By customs this includes language which some of your fellow immigrants refuse to learn.  

The DoI is a good artifact, but it is not law and for you to even assert that it should have some sort legal binding is idiotic.

Science and Engineering Magnet???? Are you trying to say you building super conductors?  

Lastly, you are a walking stereotype and I am not alone when it comes to thinking you lack taste.  

I am done with this conversation and neither of us is going to agree on any point.

This is also unjust... gender discrimination.  Black Samurai, I know yours was an example, but I fear it pretty close to the truth.

Sorry I\'m going to throw something out there that isn\'t completely related.  How can people cry about racial profiling in traffic tickets when their is Affirmative Action out there?  They\'re the same just different ends of the spectrum.

Well if I\'m a stereotype...you are too right? And I\'m also not alone that you lack taste. No I\'m just very "highly trained" in math.

I would continue on with the conversation but seems like you decided to end it. So there.

Affirmative action rocks... Hooray for having a Spanish mom. In hindsight it is becoming outdated as universities are more than culturally diverse, however because it benefits me, I will not complain.
