“If I am bitter about anything, it’s about the huge waste of human capital represented by affirmative action, which wrenched opportunities out of the hands of more intelligent, more talented white men so that they could be given to women and minorities.”
So I guess if she were a white male, it would be automatically assumed that she was deserving of a scholarship and we wouldn’t be having this discussion? Funny how no one ever complained about affirmative action until it was no longer just for white men.
Some people, and I certainly don’t refer to anyone here on FR, are crushingly, staggeringly, gob-smackingly stupid enough to say things like, “So I guess if she were a white male, it would be automatically assumed that she was deserving of a scholarship and we wouldn’t be having this discussion?” Amazing, isn’t it?
I mean, even a single-celled organism, like an amoeba living in the filth of a democrat’s bowels, has enough intelligence to understand that nothing is “automatically assumed” of white males, and that even merit is often insufficient to win them scholarships.
Even the dullest of those amoebas has enough intelligence to understand that you don’t end racial strife by shifting the focus of discrimination, but by ceasing to discriminate.
Twenty years ago one could say with confidence that a huge majority of racists in America were black.
However, with the possible exception of blatant black racism, affirmative action and similar atrocities have done more to create racism among whites than any other force in history. I’m not sure if blacks still have a monopoly on racism in America.
Congratulations. You got what you wanted, and destroyed the good will you needed to keep it.
