But of course you had to MEAN something by it... heaven forbid the simplest answer (that you thought that a spanish major was railing against diversity) is the correct answer. I didn't think you were railing on her - just noting the irony. lol

True, I have sympathy for the poor young gal. She's got a tough road ahead of her. I'm impressed that she has the backbone to speak out. I hope she turns out well.

Well, it sounded like caver was being slightly defensive on affirmative action. That's all.

This is all fun by the way folks:
My point is, people actually believe that diversity is at play when a school allows "protected" students in who earned a poor score on a test over another "unprotected" student who did well.
By the way, why do people think we have accommodated everyone because we simply use race as the criteria for diversity? What about religious diversity? Economic diversity? Etc etc...
My friend Caver is also saying to simply accept it or you will go nowhere. If this is true it's because nobody had enough guts to challenge it. Everyone is too drunk with PC. Everything is okay as long as one is getting his or her paycheck at the very large company.
University entrance paperwork should not have names, addresses, race, sex, orientation or whatever on it. There should simply be an ID code. Also, it should have one other number that proves you have the brains to move on or go get a job as a bus driver. Can't get in? Study harder. Don't want to study harder? Then get your CDL.
Unleash the free market of the mind.
caver, I'm not picking on you. We are cool here.
