Naw, Native American!

You don't get a lot for being Native American.

You're lucky to get a minority scholarship so I don't think AA really looks out for Native Americans. None of the colleges I applied to offered scholarships for it.

They better not discontinue affirmative action before I can cash in. I JUST FOUND OUT I'm a minority like, three weeks ago, and I haven't had a chance to take advantage of it.

What percentage Native American?

 

I'm something like 1/8th.

I wish for the Republicans to somehow force the Democrats to make some goddamn sense. Level-headed negotiation or crazy Jesus conservative warmonging fascist racist homophobic capitalist orgies would be both be acceptable, provided they force the left to actually be the left instead of the not right.

 

Also, Marney needs to get my new AIM.

 

And while we're on the subject of affirmative action: it sucks. Affirmative action is fundamentally racist in the assumption that white people are required to help black people. Black people don't need help. They need to be treated as 'people' as opposed to 'black people'. The correct solution to undoing America's racist history is trying to correct attitudes and behaviors in predominantly white suburbs where latent rascist ideas like affirmative action tend to gestate. Let's stop making ourselves feel better about slavery and actually start repairing the damage it's done, huh?

We need a real right-winger on the Supreme Court to cancel out Ginsberg.

However, the wording is extremely flawed and it ended up being "well, we have to hire this person even if they may be less qualified than the following number.

 

Numerous studies show that minorities who land their jobs through affirmative action are not less qualified than their colleagues.

Can you quote or cite one of these studies?

I will later...but just so that we understand each other...

 

You are suggesting that racial discrimination no longer occurs at any significant level in employment?

I'll say it --- yes. A few companies have the problem, but no company, whatsoever, wants to be known as being "racist".

 

I live in the South. At no point in my life have I failed to have at least one black boss and at least one female boss. Not one single time.

 

AA simply takes the accomplishments of minorities and immediately tarnishes them.

If I move to America, would I be entitled to special priveleges as a minority (Australian and 25% Jewish)?

Nah. The left doesn't like Jews enough to do it.
