“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race,”

Amen! This whole affirmative action business giving preference to racial groups regardless of qualification has always been reverse discrimination. You would think after the court's ruling in the Bakke case this all would have ended.

There is no such thing as ‘reverse discrimination.’ Except that when you say it, it implies that all ‘true’ discrimination originates with Whites/The West/America/etc. It is as silly as saying that anyone fighting a war against the USA is engaging in ‘reverse war,’ which implies that only America stoops to fighting wars, while everyone else just responds to our ‘regular war.’

Besides, I don’t understand why discrimination gets such a bad rap, I personally like to discriminate. It’s how I picked the 4 vehicles I own. It’s how I select music I like. It helps me choose where I go on the internet. It’s how I decide what/where to eat. It’s why I’ve owned 2 Camaros, 2 Toyota trucks, 3 Ford trucks and only one Dodge truck, although to be fair I have owned 2 Dodge Chargers. Good ole discrimination, lets hear it for it.

I am sorry there is no such thing as reverse discrimination. There is only discrimination. If you give credence to the "reverse discrimination" phrase then you are admitting that the only ones who can discriminate are whites.

This is discrimination based on race pure and simple. The leftist fail to see that if you weigh things in favor of one race, regardless of which race, then it is discrimination, period, and wrong in its conception and execution.
