Affirmative Action / Re: This is why affirmative should remain in tact« on: August 14, 2007, 12:36:57 AM »
Well given that I am the only one with access to the truth of the matter, my judgment trumps yours. 1 for 2. 2

sc3pt0r is the voice of reason in this thread, and I admire his story and viewpoints.
Saradsun, I don't think you understood cjrosina's point on the previous page. 6

Why must the racial cross-section of top-tier law schools match that of the population? What are you a Marxist? What about individuals and individual achievements? Isn't that what the civil rights movement is all about? Seeing people as individuals and not as merely the member of some ethnic group?

Affirmative Action / Re: Possible Consquences about lying that you are a URM?« on: July 20, 2007, 11:10:30 PM »The one drop rule was a joke, but derived from the fact that if you were "one drop" black during slavery, you would be considered black and consequently, a slave. It has nothing to do with righting wrongs done in a foreign country, it has to do with the fact that they aren't "White".We may see eye to eye on this issue (ultimately) but let me continue my method of questioning... Why does AA rely on skin color alone? Are there not other easily identifiable traits? What about asians? They aren't white. 8

Actually I'm dead serious d00d. 9
Affirmative Action / Re: Possible Consquences about lying that you are a URM?« on: July 20, 2007, 10:57:01 PM »Why do Mexicans get special treatment? They are White and Indian...Same as how someone who is White and Black would get considered URM. The one drop rule.Mexicans' Indian blood comes from Indians south of the border. What does that have to do with us? Why are we obligated to remedy wrongs done by the Spanish centuries ago? By that same logic Jews should benefit because they were persecuted in a foreign land. 10
Affirmative Action / Re: In-State Tuition for Illegal Immigrants« on: July 20, 2007, 10:53:51 PM »And they should have to apply for student visas... from their home country.. like every other foreign student.Maybe it is the same reasoning used for D.C. residents, since you aren't a member of ANY state, they will grant you in-state tuition in EVERY state. |
