DP. You're aware that UVA (and most other schools) have done away with legacy admissions too, right? Why are you against merit-based admissions? |
By treating everyone equally? Yes, so horrible!! ![]() ![]() |
Good riddance.
Thank you, Trump. |
+100 I find it so interesting that the Democrats who are outraged about this are effectively saying, "We want certain people to be discriminated against and other people to be treated more favorably - and all based on their race." Not that we didn't already know this, but wow - it's something to see them actually confirm this. |
Way to miss the point. I expect no less from a mediocre white male born on third base thinking he hit a triple. |
Hmm. I'm a woman. And you seem very confused about exactly what the point is. But glad we've confirmed you actually advocate for discrimination based on race. |
People, people! How many times does this have to be explained?! White women have statistically been the biggest beneficiaries of DEI policies. Yes, shocking and sad. That means that DEI includes everyone in the US except for cis, able-bodied white men. It was created because that small minority of Americans had (and in most cases) have an outsized representation in all facets of academia, business, government, etc. it was created BECAUSE merit didn’t exist, and we’re seeing with this admin, who cut all the women generals and fired people of color that they hate women and POC and LGBTQ and veterans and people with any kind of disability. This is petty, vindictive, and an overreach of state’s rights. Stand up or watch your own rights be eroded, unless you are a cis, able bodied white man (and there are fortunately a decent amount of them finally speaking up). |
Let me translate this for you: UVA wanted more people with actual potential, and fewer people whose daddies bought them the very best schools, the very best test prep, and the very best essay writers their money could buy. Maybe someone who worked a real job, because mom needed help with the bills that summer, instead of a summer “internship” in daddy’s golf buddy’s investment firm. People who can actually contribute and benefit from a rigorous market place ideas instead of get blackout drunk at the frat house every weekend. Diversity, equity, and inclusion. Why have that when you can have same, unfair, and exclusionary? Why, I’d never get that. |
Bless your heart. You win a gold medal in the victim Olympics. |

Wow, talk about bought by daddy. |
Just because we're white, don't assume we're doing all of the above using $ we shake from a tree in the backyard. |

I did not know anything about this, but now that I know, it gives me another reason not to use FedEx. I prefer UPS. |
I was at UVa when this clown and his friends beat up a guy for no reason. The student body was happy to see him expelled...and horrified to see daddy's lawyers get him reinstated. |
