UCLA's "Affirmative Action Bake Sale"
UCLA Bruin Republicans ^

[I don't know whether this happened or not, and the following text is no longer on their website, but anyway:]
"In an effort to educate UCLA students on the hypocrisy of affirmative action, an issue currently on the Supreme Court docket with the Michigan case, the UCLA Bruin Republicans will be holding an Affirmative Action Bake Sale at the bottom of Bruin Walk, Monday, February 3, 2003 from 9 am to 3 pm.
The Bruin Republicans will be selling cookies from Diddy Riese, a Westwood favorite, under the following price structure: Black, Hispanic and American Indian Females: 25 cents Black, Hispanic and American Indian Males: 50 cents White Females: $1.00 White Males and All Asian-Americans: $2.00
Staffing the Bruin Republicans' table on Bruin Walk will be members playing the following roles: "The Man," "The White Oppressor," "The Self-Hating Hispanic Race Traitor," "Uncle Tom," and a special "Admissions Officer" who will be in charge of determining each customer's race, gender, and general level of oppression.
The Bruin Republicans anticipate a strong campus reaction, with possible protests from the African Student Union and MEChA. If campus opposition does not destroy the message of the event, we hope to show students the inherent hypocrisy of assigning exclusive meaning and value based purely on skin color or perceived ethnicity."

Conservatives always have the best sense of humor.

Actually, in CA, female asians are preferred over white males.

'Republicans' might play ball like little girls to avoid the conservative wing having to repudiate your claim of victimhood. See yourself as a man and an American rather than some sympathy garnering PC chimera. But then you still live in Kalifornicatingstan and likely don't know what some of these words mean.

That's $4.00 per cookie for you.(Un)fortunately, I'm not in the highest tax bracket [not yet anyway ;0(] or another $3.00 would be tacked on....

sarcasm (...)
1 : a cutting, hostile, or contemptuous remark...
Seems I did a better job - by this dictionary's definition - of being sarcastic. Back to 'English as a second language' for you. Study harder, read more and write less.

Well, being a straight asian male, I too prefer asian females over white males!
To: freebilly
This sucks. I'm a 1/2 White & 1/2 Asian-American Male. I can't catch a break....LOL, so is my husband! He's half Japanese and half US-Army-GI.
I remember when we were going to college I urged him to try out for a "minority" scholorship. "You're a minority," I pointed out. Well, we went round and roung and finally, worn down, he gave in.
Dragging his feet all the way, he went to apply but was told by an embarressed young woman the he wasn't "exactly the right kind of minority" <- her very words. (I remember them b/c it was the first time I had ever run into AA.) Being a honest yankee/Irish dame,I was ready to raise the roof, but my future husband just grabbed my arm and said, "Let's get out of here." And this, my friend, took place back in the early 1970s!
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
