In the end, however, students admitted due to racial preferences surely understand that they are at a competitive disadvantage. This realization is likely to have adverse psychological consequences for some.
If so, some of the more mystifying aspects of the militant fragility become easier to explain. Why does this movement insist that its members' mental health is in jeopardy? The fact that someone, somewhere on a sprawling campus used the 'N' word seems like an insufficient explanation. The fact that these students are competing with students who have a built-in advantage seems like a better one.

They “surely understand” that they are at a competitive disadvantage?
You give them too much credit.
Black people are the biggest racists on the face of the earth. To most of them, everything negative in their lives is the result of some Cracka’s discrimination against them. And because they were slaves (except that none of them have ever been slaves. They don’t get that, either).
No. They don’t understand. And they never will. They can’t.
We need to stop coddling them, and make them grow up.
Nothing makes you feel so good as to when you get something ot from working for it but because enlightened people feel sorry for you.
Which is why these people can never be satisfied. They know whats going on they didnt earn and no amount of pc bullsh1t will counter what they inherently know.
Society said they were sub par intellectually and need preferences in order to compete.
The reason for this, alcohol and drug abuse that was used to cope with racism has affected their genes.
Maybe they would stop feeling discriminated against if we ended these preferences?
Just imagine all the movies that came out of Hollywood, all the TV series and specials featured mostly all black casts and black family themes with a token white or too.
Just food for thought.
I draw the line at saying "through no fault of their own." Yes, they do have some fault if they are gaming when they should be reading, and partying when they should be studying. Which is often the case. Many kids seem to think that all you have to do in college is show up (hung-over) to classes around 70% of the time.
Not much of a meal there.
Act like a retard and it’s likely an honest person will identify you as a retard.
Again, a group of black students acted like a bunch of uncivilized barbarians claiming acts of racism which will most likely, like the Missouri cases, turn out to be imaginary.
The obvious conclusion is that these uncivilized black students are thoroughly unfit for college. Certainly, every last one of them should be expelled and possibly prosecuted. And these students are supposedly the cream of the black high school crop. If they can't behave themselves, what hope is there for other black students attending elite universities?
None, if this is any indication of how they act when given one of the greatest opportunities for future success than more than 99.9999999% of the people on the planet.
Impossible.
But, on the other hand, deep rooted feelings of utter inadequacy explains it perfectly.
Nevertheless, the purpose of the game is transparently embarrassing...
To say nothing of absurd and counterproductive.
People would stop watching and "white privilege would be blamed.
You’re right; the very affirmative action policies are a clear government declaration that they are inferior - and when you see many of them in school, they are so far behind they have no business there. That is caused by the practice of taking a county college candidate and putting him/her in a state school (for which they are unqualified), and taking the state school candidate and putting him/her in the Ivy League (for which they are unqualifed). It is a recipe for disaster, with disastrous consequences for the black psyche.
At my school years ago there was a separate building for “remedial classes” (high school classes that preferred minorities had to take to bring them up to white/Asian admission standards - they received no college credits for them). That culled the herd significantly; by the time we were in our junior year it seemed most “preferred minorities” in our freshman class had dropped out; it couldn’t be concealed from them how far behind they were (in comparison to those admitted on merits).
Affirmative action destroys those it is intended to help.
God knows it has scarred Michelle.
