Are you and dumbdumb twins? Dropping a course doesn’t mean I didn’t take the course. Quit, my eye.
Started out that I don't know. Ended up that it is nobody's business.

LOL...Good idea. Although both me Father and Mother are from Scotland, who knows?
I may very well be able to find an ancestor who was from....SPAIN!
(and I do speak Spanish...Castilian Spanish)
Side-note. On many gov't forms I used to check the "other" box and then write on explanation line...Scottish-Hillbilly.
Throwing wrenches in the cogs whenever I could...lol

Well, Dr. King, they ARE judged by character, and they’re slimebags:
In 2009, the Associated Press revealed that the King family had negotiated an $800,000 licensing deal with the foundation for the use of King’s words and image in fundraising materials for the MLK memorial.
Sure. It is a zero sum game. Slots preferentially given to one group have to be taken from another.
I couldn’t agree more. This policy translated to a national level, is our legal immigration policy. We accept without question applicants from sub-Saharan Africa, or any other area where the people are certain to have no marketable skills, but God forbid we raise the quota for Eastern Europeans or anywhere else where they might be an engineer or machinist.
I was curved down in a chemistry class once.
Depending on where you take the class, there may (or may not) be a curve.
Averages are still low.
How many Chinese and Koreans are named “Lee”?
Mark Sanchez (Hispanic):
Jeff Garcia (Hispanic):
Selena Gomez (Hispanic)
All clearly in need of Affirmative Action after a lifetime of persecution for their obvious non-white heritage.
“As a white male I am offended that these asians are checking the white box get the same diversity benefit that I have earned by not studying as hard as them. The whole system could break down if this continues. “
I am in awe of your grasp of the matter and your succinct sarcasm.
Well done!
With the result that many of them wind up over their heads and failures whereas they had a much better chance of success at a lesser college or lesser law firm, etc. Friends who sit on “Diversity Committees’ have some real stories to tell about how low some are willing to go, especially the ‘officer’ who’s sole criterion for being hired is to run this committee. Typically minority who wants to bend the rules to ridiculously low standards in order to justify his/her own existence.
And just how often do we see Deans and Presidents/Chancellors give up their own positions for ‘diversity’ or surrender Li’l Darlin’s admission to the school of choice/
Hypocrites and racists all. A system after 5 decades still doomed to failure, the results are in and they’re not pretty.
Can't let that one go by...

Protected classes are not based on being a minority, nor skin tone. Protected classes are based on dependence and voting habits.
Asians don't squat on the Dem plantation, so they don't get protected statuse.
Asians are in fact treated as "super caucasions" in admissions processes, because they aren't a "real minority" and they are over represented in colleges and under represented in welfare programs.
Virtually everyone with a Jewish ancestor has an ancestor who lived in Spain!
Something about whuthing some Russians once up on a time. These folks have long memories!
This would be an interesting way of fishing for lawsuits (the way the Libs do). Put in two identical applications to a school in a state that has made it illegal to discriminate by race, with one as a white male named Jack O'Malley and a second as a black female named Latisha Jackson. Put in about 50 such duplicated applications and then sue the hell out of them when they pick all 50 black females and zero white males.
