[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Affirmative Action is removed, I worry White families might continue to feel their kids will be at a disadvantage. Going by scores alone, most elite schools will be filled with Asian American students. [/quote]

Curious why this is a worry. Because your assumption that these institutions should belong to white hands? That's the crux of all this. Someone is taking something from White kids. I would love 10 years of Asian only admits to see how that shakes out in society - for so many reasons! [/quote]

Well, yes, since the vast majority of Asians have only lived in this country for the last couple of decades. [b] Out-reproducing the United States and then moving here for our excellent education, doesn't entitle you to all of the spots at top schools. [/b]So yes, those spots do belong in the hands of people who have funded them for generations.[/quote]

But outgunning and stealing all the land from the natives entitles you to all the land?  :roll:  Doesn't the land belong "in the hands of people who have lived there for generations"?  When are you returning it? [/quote]

Stop. Lots of us didn't "steal" anything. My family came from Europe and So. America long after anything was stolen from anyone. The plight of Native Americans is real and up for discussion how to make it right. This is an absurd non-sequitur from that. [/quote]

Not sure if you are the PP I responded to.. If not, go read it to understand why my response is relevant.  if you are that poster, please brush up on comprehension skills.[/quote]

I'm not but you also selectively quoted my post. Further, I doubt your response is any less smug or rude than this one. If you can't make your point without ad hominem attacks, just don't make it. Because it's not much of a point at all. [/quote]
