"My reaction was disgust because of the ignorance of some SMU students," said Houston, who is black. "They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization."
Yeah, uh huh...sure.

They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization -Matt Houston, who is black.This contrast is mind-bending. I would like to understand it.

Um. Then it's based on race.

Asians should pay $1.25 at least if you want to be fair.

These guys are wrong because only liberals are allowed to engage in racism and call it something else
I thought everybody knew that rule. It's been in place since the early '60's

"A black student filed a complaint with SMU, saying the sale was offensive." It's only offensive because it illustrates what is wrong with affirmative action.

Very clever way to expose the truth..
A few years ago my husband was approached by Michigan State University to apply as a professor of music in the jazz department...
they were all enthusiastic etc...wonderful musician, training etc...
His family had to go through hoops with out-of-the-country bureacatic mess just to get a certified copy of his masters degree...etc...
well they got the resume which is huge and then read the bio...OOPPSS!
They called him and said..."you mean you are not a minority? You are not a hispanic? Oh well..we have a problem here. We are looking for minorities."
How sad is that! Not looking for who is best for the students....but for skin color and ethnicity.
They thought because of his surname he was hispanic - but no - he is from Italy. We had no interest or energy to make a fuss.
Now I feel like eating a bag of cookies.

"This was not an issue about free speech,".....
"It was really an issue where we had a hostile environment being created that was potentially volatile." So....Get some backbone and provide EQUAL protection to all students..
Our Universities are run by feckless imbeciles - with a leftist agenda...

When liberals do "offensive" things it is free speech. When conservatives do it, it is fueling hatred and violence. The double standard marches on.
