[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire discussion of privilege is just another example of how progressive ideas that should be widely accepted are destroyed by a strident, intolerant, punitive linguistic style.  Ultimately we are talking about fairness and opportunity, but when you frame it as aggressively as we do in this “privilege” discussion, you lose anyone with common sense.[/quote]

umm, no. you can frame this any way you want but people will always understand that college admissions are a zero sum game and that one person’s opportunity is a closed door for another person.[/quote]y

Perhaps in the elites. These days if you want to go to college that bad, you're going. I agree that tons of people don't belong there.[/quote]

if the eliteness of the college doesn't matter than why must the "disadvantaged" student be pushed into the most elite ones?

but i do agree that, at the end, it doesn't matter. plenty of well functioning university systems in the world and no real reason to be playing these stupid games at all.[/quote]
