For or against?
I'm against affirmative action. It's simply not fair to deny entry to a college to someone with an astronomical gpa so that someone with a 2.0 gpa can get in just because of their skin color. Racism, pure and simple. |

QUOTE(ComradeRed @ Sep 3 2004, 2:08 PM) You say that now, but if you go to a college you aren't academicallly prepared for and it let you in beacuse of affirmative action, then you graduate with straight-Cs or Ds or worse, fail out, you'd rather have gone to a less selective college and done a stellar job. LMAO. You think that I am unprepared for any school in the United States? LOL. Maybe with the exception of MIT and Caltech because mathematics is not my strongest subject, I am more than prepared for any curriculum. QUOTE African-American dropout rates in the California public university system was 70% while affirmative action was in place. Now it is only 25% -- because the ones that should go to Santa Barbara don't get accepted into Berkeley and fail out any more. And this has to do what with me? I am not black. |
