[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom didn't go to any college and I didn't go to college in US, my daughter is underprivileged as a first generation applying to American colleges but she has to compete against students whose parents understand this system. She can beat them but being an Asian, she is in a limited quota group so less desirable than underachievers of other quota groups.[/quote]

It is a fallacy that that there is a quota, and it is a fallacy that the kids who got into whatever school you are talking about are underachievers. They do not force rank admissions based on a single test, nor should they.[/quote]

If no qouta, why use race in admission?
Who said single test??[/quote]

Affirmative action is not a quota system. If you didn't bother to find out what AA is, why are you arguing about it?[/quote]

A judge is exactly asking that right now 'how do you achive diversity without counting numbers'quota'' 
Lawyer is not making any sense and failed to answer.

B[b]oth sides' lawyers are stumbling a little.[/b] To be expected. The questions and hypotheticals are challenging; the Court is prepared. Personally I thought J. Thomas's comment that he had heard the same arguments in favor of segregation (re the investment group) to be thought provoking. [/quote]

I thought the plaintiff advocate was well prepared and did a great job.  Counsel for UNC was stiff and READ his opening (not done!). I've also never seen an advocate actually finish their opening (he was reading his) and then wait for questions.  Normally the advocate uses every single second they have to argue until the first interruption[/quote]
