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.

I still haven't seen any of you "Champions of Fairness" address the fact that 42 white students with lower scores were admitted to UT the same year Abby was rejected.  Were these white students somehow (STILL) more deserving than the 1 Black and 4 Hispanic students?  What case does Abby have against the white students?  I'll wait for your explanation.    [/quote]

I'm still waiting.[/quote]

You'll be waiting until,the sun rise in the west and set in the east. There is no explanation to your question. Nada. [/quote]
