[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal philosophy that has served me well is.. never hire a professional that is a product of AA. The standards were lowered too much, commitment and capacity is not either. The few times I went to doctors for emergencies, the AA candidate proved my philosophy right. [/quote]

How do you know if someone is the product of AA? Do you assume anyone that is not white or Asian?[/quote]

That's one of the tragedies of AA. Unfortunately, black Americans at Harvard are assumed to be there because of AA -- and the data supports it.[/quote]

No one cares. Same way that people assume that the white manager got the job because of race. Have you ever seen a marginally competent white manager hang their head in shame when he or she sees several black and Asian coworkers who are more competent?
Also, news flash! Harvard does not necessarily take the white or Asian kid with the highest scores compared to other white or Asian kids respectively. 
I personally know of one African American woman who got into Harvard with very good scores, but her scores were lower than another African American girl who had better scores on standardized tests (800 math plus high 700s in other parts). Their GPAs were the same. Harvard saw something that was different about the one with lower SAT scores. I actually saw more potential in the girl they took. She was much more mature and introspective. She is doing very well there now. [b]Many white and Asian kids are not doing as well as she is. [/quote][/b]

How do you know this?[/quote]
