[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I did expect so much racism on this board.  Why are you all against outlawing racial preference?  Schools can still give preference for geographic location and socioeconomic status, so what is with the whining about life being over for blacks?  Do you really think that poor white folks aren't disadvantaged and don't deserve a chance?  Have you gone to [b]Appalachians and see these communities[/b]?  They all could use some bonus points, regardless of race.

The ruling will hurt rich URM and help poor whites.  That's a good thing in my book.  Rich URMs don't need help. [/quote]

Did I miss something?  Were the Appalachians slaves?  Breaking out my tiny violin.  As my uncle used to say, there is no reason that any white person in this country should be poor given the advantages they have had in life. [/quote]

What does someone's ancestor they have never interacted with having been slaves have anything to do with their privilege today?  Please actually spell this out.  Those poors of other races have no equity in anything either, have broken families, have had no one go to college in their family.  How is it different?  And why does being white automatically mean they should be rich??   Unlike you, most people don't just bend over backwards and kowtow to someone based on their race.  I am not white and I see no privilege enjoyed by the poor whites.  [/quote]

+1 Poor whites have not been given advantages. Wealthy whites, yes.[/quote]
