Really!I think I’m white now! I’ll go tell my kids. Y’all know these are social constructs right? We make the rules.

Come again? How would we go about verifying your claims, since they are "verifiable?"

If you look at Supreme Court case, economic diversity is OK and on solid ground for higher education sorting and selection purposes.
I think JD is in favor of helping the poor (at least some poor. That’s legal too and validated by SCOTUS

If JD Vance shouldn’t have gotten into Yale, a whole lot of other students - of certain races and certain backgrounds - also shouldn’t be there.
Gee do we need to complain about the Obamas at Harvard too? Should we ask Michelle Obama for the test scores that got her into Princeton?
But Obama wasn't the one complaining about DEI, was he.
Also, I find Clarence Thomas to be the biggest hypocrite about DEI. Does the dude not realize that he wouldn't be where he's at without "equal opportunity" or DEI?

People are allowed to post excerpts to provoke thought and add a different angle. People are allowed to ask questions. What else is this forum for?
My point is that JD is an interesting guy who knows the game. He might even be playing the long game. Maybe the opposition should make nice and make peace. With him. Find a way to still get what you want.
The Dem’s collective dementia messed this country up big time — for a long while. Their last three presidential candidates were awful.

So I took the one rifle we had off the rack and searched the drawers for ammo. One bullet was all I could find.
“What is it, J.D.?” Mamaw asked as she sat in her rocking chair.
“We’re going to eat tonight,” I told her, keeping back my tears.
So I went out onto our barren land, hoping to find something — anything — to keep us going.
And there it was. A lone rabbit sitting in a field. So I took that rifle and aimed, lining up what was the literally the last shot for me and my family.
And I fired.”
He literally ate what he could catch.
We do not need a treatise. Make your point.

If his writing is any indication, he has a strong grasp of language. His book claimed he was good at math. More than you can say about many lawyers (and least county lawyers!)

How many white men got where they are because they are white and male? That's the point of DEI - looking for capability. We live in a ridiculous society that wants to believe everyone not male and white is less able and only in their position because of an imaginary DEI bogeyman. This is why so many people want to encourage DEI in our schools and workplaces - because when it's done right it means the best and most capable are where they belong.
DEI is almost never done right, It goes from being additive to the mission to becoming the mission.
It's bad enough when you are asked how you would use DEI to enhance your classroom as a professor, it is bonkers when you are asked how you will use your role as a professor to enhance DEI
Another problem is that people have conflated DEI with affirmative action, racial preferences, even extreme racial preferences.
A lot of the reason we even have a second trump presidency is because virtue signalling idiots invited this massive blowback with the woke crap.

She could not do it without the support of the father of her children. While he also graduated from a top law school, he largely chose to take care of the family while Amy pursued her career.
She seems like a horrible woman.
