[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the last time.  You solve this entire issue by abolishing Affirmative Action.  Until you do that you will have people assuming URM (blacks/hispanics) being in certain places due to affirmative action.

Personal experience when I got my MBA top 5 program  About half of the AA and Hispanics actually belonged there.  The other half clearly didn't.  This was also true for the international students.  They wern't dumb but they were clearly a cut below the rest of my other classmates which again included many really great AA, Hispanics, and International students but not all[/quote]And clearly, there are many whites who do not belong in a top 5 program.  Not dumb but a cut below other students.  Whites do not have an academic intelligence monopoly, period.[/quote]I am not an admirer of Clarence Thomas when he talks about how he hung his head in shame because people THOUGHT he was in college because of affirmative action.  So he suffered because whites put that stigma on him.  Whether he was there on a-action or not, his mindset should'be been I am here because I can do the work, held his head high, and told those who questioned his abilities to kiss his ass.

Sadly, after all these decades he is still impacted by the wrongful and shameful stigma imparted on him by his white classmates.  He won't even speak from the bench.  I sincerely doubt that African-American student who is the subject of this thread will be hanging her head in shame regardless of what others assume.[/quote]
