[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Secondly I have to laugh at how people think going to college is the key to success, a good job and income security.

If that was the case then why aren’t minority college grads doing tough majors and going into law, medicine, consulting, appears, engineering jobs.

Instead they fill up gender and racial studies departments, become further enraged and victimized, and go on to make peanuts working for liberal NGOs, schools or esol programs. [/quote]

Peanuts?  Diversity deanships pay way more than many law firm jobs, sucker.[/quote]
And they get paid to do nothing. [/quote]

Paid to brainwash kids and appease the angry small mobs.[/quote]

Someone in China and India can't stop laughing at our stupidity.[/quote]
Yeah, because they are all so perfect.  :roll: [/quote]

What a random answer.

They are not perfect and they know they aren't. They are just catching up quickly and educating millions of engineers (for example) while we obsess with AA and ethnic studies.

Who exactly is “obsessed” with AA and ethnic studies?

What measurable impact does AA have? Positive and negative so we know the full picture.

And you think ethnic studies is displacing engineering? How so?
[/quote]

Have you been paying attention? Elite colleges like Stanford is so focused on AA that they admit URM students into their Physics major who are unable to successfully complete freshman year Physics classes. The impact is that they denied entry to other more qualified candidates who would have had no problem meeting these basic performance standards. They are also wasting resources constructing remedial courses for these unqualified students, instead of spending that money on research and other more worthwhile endeavors. Why is their physics department putting up a course called Diverse Perspectives in Physics. Where in the variable or constant representing diversity in any physics equation?  [/quote]

Engineering has a 50% drop out rates. American minorities, have an 85%+ drop out rate of engineering. Ie they get in to the engineering school, can’t hack it and change to an easy liberal arts major.  I say American minorities because the african, SE Asian minorities stay in the programs and graduate. [/quote]

This exactly.

And many of those minorities don't even complete college yet accumulate a ton of debt.

Congrats racists -- you manage to steal someone's seat and crush a minority under a mountain of debt.

You're the best.[/quote]

Yes, let's protect the poor black folk. Let's not let them go away to big bad college and try something hard. Let's not burden them with a better education or even homeownership. We gotta protect them from themselves, right? We know what's best.  :roll:
