[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White male back again - college academic advisor said that I needed at least a 3.5 GPA to get into a good law school. He added - if I was black 3.0 was overkill and if I was hispanic a 2.5 was great.

Affirmative action means that truely qualified individuals lose opportunity while the URM loses credibility. [/quote]

There are like 5 disgruned white dudes like you, PP, for every 1 black person who gets in to a school because of affirmative action.  That 1 black person did not take all 5 of "your" spots.  Look at the number of black people actually in law school.  It's really not that much, even with affirmative action.  Blacks are about 12% of the population but I think about 6% of law students.  It's more likely a better qualified white person took your darn spot than a black person.  This is all to say that, whether or not you agree that affirmative action is a good policy, the backlash against it is really out of proportion to its effects.  So might I suggest, PP, that you rethink your white persecution complex, if only for your kids' sake.[/quote]
