The End of Racial Preferences.

[akpostal]

Her argument was that permissible “race-sensitive admissions policies,” the new name for racial preferences, both serve the compelling interest of obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body and inure people to the benefit of racial minorities. By the way, no one has come up with hard evidence of the supposed “educational benefits” that come from a racially mixed student body, and there’s mounting evidence of harm done to minorities through academic mismatching.

This being my first contribution to "The Outside," I will start slow.

The passage I quoted shows 2 (rather blatant) racist points of view of the author. Firstly, the argument against "supposing educational benefits" from a diverse student body smacks of "What could WE possibly learn from THEM?" Secondly, and directly in support of my first point, the argument of "academic mismatching." Is this another way of saying, "They're too stupid to be here in the first place?"

Thanks for the hours of discourse (notice I didn't elect to qualify, I'd hate to start off on the wrong foot with certain other contributors), it's all been an experience.

The author is black.

 

[akpostal]

No, it's a copyright thing.

EDIT: twisty already covered it. Thanks, twisty.

And I profited how from posting this copyrighted nationwide, worldwide distributed piece?

I have yet to receive a cease and desist order from his lawyer.

The author is black.

What's your point?

The TOS forbids posting more than 300 words from other sources, even with linkage.

 

[akpostal]

Irrelevant. It's against the TOS to post over 300 words of even a linked article. You did read the TOS, right?

No. Did you take part in writing it?

 

[akpostal]

Get in a "way-back-machine" and ask the British if Irish are the same race as them -

My cat is cuter.

 

[Surf Monkey]

No. Did you take part in writing it?

No, but I follow it because I know that the rules actually do have consequences. You'd be smart to do the same.

 

[akpostal]

What's your point?

The context.

So your just trying to be helpful then.

That wasn't obvious to you from the outset?

 

[akpostal]

What's your point?

So you agree with Mr Bungle that the black author of the piece is a racist.

 

[Empress Kitty]

That wasn't obvious to you from the outset?

Apparently not. I still don't understand the hostility he is showing. Not very nice at all.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Did I say that?

 

[UntamedRose]

Was I suppose to look the authors race up? This matters why?

 

[Surf Monkey]

I think we're waiting for ak to reiterate his previous assertion that only white people can be racist...

Please quote me on that.

 

[akpostal]

Did I say that?

By agreeing with him? Yes.

Wrong. Try again.
