[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - affirmative action is horrible and discriminatory. It should not be a thing.

But this is the system we are dealing with, so your son should check both boxes or check 'two or more races'. (Which is it?)[/quote]

OP, PP's opinions are horrible and ignorant.  Affirmative action should absolutely be a thing.

I have no opinion about what box your child should check, but commend your throughtfullness in asking the question.  Have you spoken to your child's guiance counselor or any admissions offices?

Affirmative action should be based on income not race, hence that would be no need to check "boxes". if you are white and poor, brown and poor, yellow and poor, and black and poor, you should benefit from affirmative action. The common denominator should be income not race.[/quote]

Generations of race-based housing segregation and policing are based on race.  That's why affirmative action is based on race.  My mom and dad were poor and the first in their families to go to college.  My dad ended up the CEO of a large public company.  Members of the board made racist jokes and used the n-word.  No way in hell a Black person or a woman was going to be hired as CEO, no matter thier qualifications or income.

You should pick up a book.[/quote]
