[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrible decisision. This shows us how awful Scalias death( or maybe murder) was. It doesn't really matter though. You can admit URMs with lower grades and SATs who don't deserve admission  all you want, and you can even give them top jobs. However, at the end of the day, they will be outperformed by those who are intellectually superior to them. It's sad that minorities want "equality", but then demand special prviliagrs. It actually says something pretty bad about URMs if they can't succeed without affirmative action.College admissions should be based solely on GPA, SAT, ECs, and recommendations. At least the SCOTUS got the important decision on illegal immigration right.  [/quote]

But imagine what would happen w/o AAction. There will be almost no blacks in top 200 colleges. Maybe SCOTUS thought URMs could use extra help. [/quote]

Well now we won't have to find out, racist troll.  Lol![/quote]

I doubt it will help much though. It hasn't in the past. So, nothing new here. At some point, you gotta get yourself going without mama holding your hand, bud. [/quote]

It's helped my family quite a bit--and I consider it a small step towards compensating my family for the stolen labor of my ancestors.  I can guarantee you that we have a higher HHI than you, and live in a nicer neighborhood (one of the best).  Despite our excellent public schools, our children attend one of the best private schools in DC, with all the EC bells and whistles.  Oh, my children will also attend better universities than your children.  I'm also positive that AA didn't take the bar and pass it on the first try for me either.

One more thing: You cannot possibly make me feel bad about being the recipient of AA at some point or another in my life.  I would feel bad about being the recipient of unearned white privilege (you, Fisher and the rest of your ilk) who cannot even get into UT-Austin (!) WITH legacy status (you know, the type of AA action whites like you like and defend).  UT didn't even admit its first Black student until the mid-1950s.  Fisher should feel embarrassed by her sheer mediocrity...to say nothing of her Peppermint Patty looks.[/quote]
