[quote=Anonymous]Please don't try to give the impression that your "I've got mine, you get your yours" friends are representative of how AA's feel about affirmative action. It only shows that your AA friends are not that bright and are insecure. You do not hear the legacy babies talking about how they wish legacies would end so that people don't assume they are a product of a "legacy admission." Instead, some of the legacies I know will self-identify that they are legacies and how many generations of legacy they are. I was a recruited woman at one of the service academies and I don't know any of us who would never have said "please don't recruit more women because we don't want people to assume we are the product of special recruitment." We didn't want to one of a handful of women at the Academy so we could feel special because we could get in and others couldn't. I was the "Norman Rockwell" AA student in elementary and I definitely wish there had been some affirmative action. Being one or a few of many is not conducive to educational attainment.
