Both groups provide funds to the University. Legacy student's parents give grants and athletes attract people to games who pay money to see their games. Both directly benefit the university and subsidize things like ethnic studies programs.
A high top tax rate gives the government considerable control over the economic behavior of the rich. With all their loop holes they still paid much more in taxes.
The illegitimate children of unmarried mothers who do not know who their fathers are and who are admitted because standards are lowered for them bring nothing to the university but loud rap music when serious students are trying to study.
What does indigenous refer to then?
I would say that it's a different way to say the same thing and to accomplish the same desired result.
That does not alter the fact that you are taking admission slots from applicants with greater merit. All you are doing is saying it is ok to discriminate if they give us money, but it is still discriminating against applicants with greater “merit”.
I never even considered the fact that my siblings and I are first generation if that means the first generation to graduate from college? And I honestly don't remember being asked that question.
So according to your comment above, you must be one of the least intelligent candidates but I would bet money on me being head & shoulders above you in intelligence.
No there isn’t. You just don’t want to acknowledge that impoverished people without even a high school education fleeing antisemitism, and still facing it here, managed to raise children who all graduated from college and went on to affluence. The opportunities my parents and their siblings were given were available to black kids too.
Yes, it’s been made largely to their own effort, despite antisemitism. For some strange reason, you refuse to admit that success is in blacks’ own hands, and that with hard work, no children before marriage, no crime, no drugs, studying hard, and taking advantage of free educational programs, they too can rise to affluence.
Nope. Superior firepower and being bloodthirsty enough to use it on anyone who stood in the way of what the originators wanted.
Based on white supremacist policies. Only white male landowners were allowed to participate in the political arena via voting.
The assumption that Black people can not or would not achieve the things we have "but for" the existence of affirmative action is the default mindset of those against itas well as the belief that merit plays no part in it which is ridiculous when you think about it. When we mention that white women are the largest beneficiaries of affirmative action, the immediate response is "no, I got that job through my own merit". No one said merit isn't involved, but in order to apply, the opportunities had to first be opened up to more women, minorities, etc.
I’m to respond to just this, and that is that you really can’t compare what happens in an elementary school with what happens in college, too many differences.
How do you know this to allegedly be true? And I thought the migration to the U.S. was made by your grandparents.
Yes, it means first generation to go to college. It is a relatively recent designation.
I don't have to look around DC although last time I was there the only people I saw outside pushing baby buggies were white women. I've been told that DC is going through an era of gentrification.
Because there were blacks in my parents’ colleges, taking advantage of the same opportunities.
You know how you get upset when you say you see too many Black people in T.V. commercials and too many Black people on the posters in the store windows at the mall. Were there "too many" black people enrolled in the same school as your grandparents or was the school predominantly white or Jewish? Or did they attend a Black school? Were there as many Black people in the school as there were in the population, percentage wise?
Because last you mentioned the topic, you said your parents and their siblings, I just wanted to verify that you actually meant your grandparents.
Well you don't seem to have a rudimentary grasp of the concept of "compare" and "contrast". Neither of you do...
