Poll is HERE about half way down on the right.
To the headline: yes
Applying affirmative action means that the majority thinks the minority is incapable of excellence.
Racial quotas are by definition a form of institutionalized racial discrimination. It doesn’t matter who benefits, or who is on the losing end of said deal. Ain’t rocket science.
I have to be offline for a while but I'll be back. 
Today, the Supreme Court is questioning the University of Texas' use of race in college admissions. Do you think applying affirmative action to universities' admission policies violates the rights of white applicants?

And Asian applicants.
No one on the Left wants to talk about that.
FReeped.
It violates the Constitution, too, I believe.
I think affirmative action policies do not violate white applicants’ rights or any other racial group’s rights. Racial groups do not have rights. Individual citizens have rights, and policies that attempt to give special treatment on a racial basis violate the rights of all individuals, including especially individuals of the supposedly favored group who are robbed of the opportunity to succeed or fail on their own individual merits.

Of course it violates the rights of white applicants, but if they do not have affirmative action they won’t get enough blacks.Whites do not mean anything, it’s easy to screw over them,. They won’t riot, they won’t burn grocery stores, they won’t even piss and moan about it, because then someone would accuse them of racism.
MLK dreamed of the day when blacks would not be judged by the color of their skin.
Well martin if we stop judging them by the color of their skin, many won’t have jobs and they won’t be in college, because affirmative is exactly judging a man by the color of his skin.
My daughter started UNLV at 13 so I’ve spent untold hours on campus. I refer to it as NWM- No White Males.

Voted and found this nugget on the web site.
“Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu announced the creation of an armed “Anti-Smuggling Posse,” comprised of unpaid volunteers, to assist the sheriff’s office in “fighting the rampant drug smuggling in Pinal County.”
Hmmmmm, I could be interested.
Racism isn’t bad if it’s good.
Good racism helps people, bad racism is...well bad.
People should be treated equally without regard to skin color, unless they are of a certain skin color that is considered inferior, by people who are not at all racist. Then those people (the inferior ones) need to be treated more equally to make up for the lack of equality in their equality.
So to sum up. Racsim isn’t racism unless it is racism, and that is only the case when the Left defines something as racism. Otherwise its simply treating people differently based on their race.

A fellow teacher, Hispanic male, also applied to UT Austin--had much lower GPA and GRE--WE EXCHANGED INFO. He was admitted and was appalled I was not. He was a nice guy and a good teacher but his race/ethnicity got him IN with MONEY to pay his way.
I eventually retook the GRE and made the 94th percentile, so they took me, but we moved to AL where I completed my MS.
In AL, I worked with a black woman who was admitted to UA Tuscaloosa conditionally because she had neither the grades nor the test scores to be admitted otherwise. She was, after all, a diversity number.
To me, the liberal definition of diversity is race first, educational success last.
