You're the one who keeps bringing race into the discussion; I just thought I'd help you out a bit.
Here's a wee history lesson for you. Prior to the Civil Rights Act, when I was in Boarding School, no, not Exeter and not St.Paul's ( they were both all boys back then and I wasn't a boy !), but a comparable one, there were blacks there. There was NO affirmative Action. These girls were my friends, no one treated them any differently than anyone else,and that was the norm!
Yes, people discriminate; ALL people do and it's NOT just down racial lines.
Just because someone is born into a prominent family, doesn't guarantee that they will succeed. Some do and some don't. Yes, they have it easier than others, to some degree or other.But people are different and YOU have chosen to post some really silly PC stereotyping junk.
I didn't say discrimination is down only racial lines. Why do people keep adding stuff that wasn't stated or rebuked in the initial argument. What is going on here stick to what is being argued, this is simple debate philosophy(don't go on tangents).
You being in your boarding school is great before the civil rights period and there was no AA. I wish it where like that today but you see a lot of people tend to think that all blacks are on AA and don't belong hence the joking and stuff that I used to hear while attending my classes. I don't resent them, as this is the making of 30 years of liberal crappy policies and now my generation has to reap what was sowed by those nuts in the 70's
As far as being PC, the last paragraph you stated is total PC garbage. If you are born into a prominent family and you have the means to succeed and you don't you are loser plain and simple. We have people trying to come over the border dying in the desert just to get on welfare here!!!! and you want to tell me that if you are born affluent it is ok if you don't succeed when given the tools.
This is so Liberal I don't even want to talk about it any more this is just like those who say blacks born in middle class families that if you fail it is ok because the "man" and society are to blame and that they are after you.
