Not to worry, Meathead and Company are already at work on a proposition taxing 'The Rich' to get more blacks into UCLA and the other UC institutions.

But the new figures, released last week, have shocked many on campus and prompted school leaders to declare the situation a crisis.

No need to panic. Just fill in the shortfall of black students with some well deserving undocumented aliens from Mexico. If they look around real hard they may be able to find a few to fill their quotas.
After all, if they're so willing to take the jobs that Americans don't want to do, this should be right up their alley.

I'm alarmed not by the small percentage of "black" students, but I AM alarmed that many people at UCLA are "alarmed" by this.

Geez, just let students apply and go where they want.

[R.W.Ratikal]

I got it! Make white students wear black-face makeup.

When you've got affirmative action, you can get away with saying that the black students are there only because they're black.

But without affirmative action, you can't say that. You know the black students are qualified. Isn't affirmative action unfair to the qualified blacks?
