FALSE! This dumb talking point continues to be used by affirmative action defenders, despite its obvious falsehood. For every 1 woman helped by AA, 100 are damaged by it (wives, daughters, mothers, etc of discriminated-against white men)
That just got shot down one minute after you posted it (in Post # 21)
60 Minutes did a special on the Texas plan; White kids with 4.0 gpas can't get in but minorities with 3.0 do get in.
On Thursday the Supreme Court upheld the University of Texas’ affirmative action policies and shot down claims by Abigail Fisher that the policy was unconstitutional. Although Fisher claimed that she was denied entry to the University of Texas because she was white; obviously her spot had been taken by some student of color who was less qualified than she was.
However, during the case, it was revealed that Fisher had lower grades than all but 47 students who were admitted to UT that year. Of the students who were admitted to Texas with grades lower than Fisher’s, 42 of the 47 were white.Instead of Kanye-shrugging her shoulders and resigning herself to another school, she decided to sue.
As a legacy student whose parents had attended the school, she felt she should have been afforded the opportunity of hopscotching past the more qualified candidates because … well … white privilege.
No, she just thought she should not be discriminated against, because of being white. And she also correctly thinks she shouldn't be maligned, by racists like YOU. And by liars like you who speak with forked tongue using words like "white privilege"...... when this very court decision shows there is no such thing as white privilege, but there sure still is plenty of black privilege.

Black privilege. Anti-white RACIST discrimination. This racist SCOTUS should be ashamed of itself.

I agree that there was no case here but you don't understand what "legacy student" means. There is no white privilege anywhere here. Quite the opposite.
Cheerleading your own post? Weirdo.
Please tell us why you think this whiny girl should have gotten in over 168 minorities with higher scores than her who were rejected. Please tell us why of the 47 people who were accepted wih worse scores than hers, 42 of them being white makes the school racist.

Feel free to explain then. Thanks for your contribution
A Legacy Student is a child of a graduate from the college. There is probably other factors also involved but it has nothing to do with skin color.
And since historically whites and blacks have had the same College opportunities....I get what you're saying

Legacy student policies do tend to favor whites disproportionately. That's pretty obvious.
Did not know that so I guess he was a hypocrite in that area.
You called AA a reward for skin color. Of course, that was to revers effects of centuries of punishment for skin color. Though I'd agree that the benefits of AA are approaching an expiration date, and may have already reached it.

No, it isn't obvious when you factor in the population numbers.

so while she probably should not have gotten in, many are left out b/c they are white.
Sorry but that guilt trip shit does not apply to anyone living today. The last confirmed freed slave in the US died in 1948.
Plenty of victims of segregation still living.
