No, the issue is that if you would discount the person in front of you based on statistics, that is YOUR issue - not mine.  What I "truly believe" actually matters very little in the discussion. We are talking about opportunities - not about who you and I think is "smarter."  I am just starting to think that this whole discussion is some Whites fighting for their right to be mediocre.  Elite White students will be fine anywhere. It just seems that [b]folks are fighting for people like Fisher,[/b] underachieving White students, to have the right to benefit the way they always have.

People are fighting for fairness. [/quote]

One (1) Black person and 4 Hispanics were admitted to UT-Austin with lower scores than Fisher the year she was rejected.  There were 42 whites who were admitted that same year with lower scores than Fisher.  Her lawsuit only focused on the 5 minorities with lower scores.  Tell me again about how "[white] people are fighting for fairness."  :roll: [/quote]

This thread, at this point, is about AAction in general, not specifics of Fisher case.

BTW, no need to roll your eyes.

Read the title of the thread.  It's still about the Fisher case (as much as you would like to pivot away from talking about her mediocrity).  You don't get to change the topic when it suits you; and you don't instruct me about eye rolling.  [/quote]
