“You can’t be a minority in this society without having someone express disapproval about affirmative action.”
Why?
Because it is wrong. Poor grades and ignorance should put you at the back of the class. What happened to the greatest and brightest lead the way?
Now it’s the average and the also rans lead the masses.
Something wrong here.......
Regarding what Affirmative Action was way back when, it was your ZIP Code. When the Ivy' did their 'chose the poor deserving disadvantaged person' trick in my case it was undoubtedly because of my address ~ and it's post office zone. Even then they had the highest crime rate in the state ~
That was AA ~ not by race, but proximity!
Then, it changed ~ to race ~ and it's still there.
Very true—despite the fact that toughness is sometimes more important in an attorney than pure brains.
