Nope...you are incorrect on this one. Gaby has sweated, worked her butt off like all the others and earned every point she got.

You demonstrate one of the real evils of affirmative actions (I'm not saying you're evil, I'm sure you're a fair, good guy since you're a Freeper): it makes us suspicious of individual achievements of members of the groups benefiting from this awful law (mainly African Americans). Other Freepers have pointed out that while in the floor-ex she stumbled, she was that great doing very hard routines in the others to come in second.

“You demonstrate one of the real evils of affirmative actions. . “

So true, I had a friend (white) who is an RN, and she told me once that it is black patients who often reject or complain about having black nurses.

That struck me as so odd, I asked her, why, you’d think if anything they’d be happy to have black nurses etc.

She said, no, many of them think the black nurses and medical professionals are not as well qualified, but got and retained their positions due to affirmative action.

I found that really sad, on so many levels. The nurses were probably just as well qualified as anyone else, but are assumed not to be, and have to continually prove themselves even to their own race just because of our stupid affirmative action tendencies in this country.
