This is why affirmative action should remain in tact (sic)!

Selfpwnage. I guess AA is good for getting illiterates like the OP into college.

if you wanna beat me up over a malapropism feel free to. My sole purpose is to make you feel better about yourself.

Here is that article. I have no idea why it didn't post earlier:

Again, not trying to flame anyone here. I just thought this would add to the healthy debate.

And I guess male and white supremecy are good for getting illiterates like you into college.
It is easy to change the language of oppression without changing the sociopolitical situation of its victims.

It makes perfect sense because it parallels with the previous posts. White and Male supremecy are to affirmative action as white is to other minority.

actually, i would say that it's more the legacy system. 

a legacy system based on what? Male and white supremecy.

legacy system also benefits female children of alumni.  ;)

i'm just splitting hairs really.

Yeah, you are. And only until a recent time ago did legacy systems guarantee benefit for women. That might explain why women are underrespresented in math and science diciplines.

Well, I was just talking about the illiterate part.  Unless I missed something and Htown has shown himself to be illiterate.  For example, by misspelling intact or supremacy.  ;)
