Originally posted by DigiNut I don't understand the reason for the "eye rolling", but let me get this straight. According to your post: - Blacks and Hispanics will eventually be making up a greater percentage of population than whites, and - Many of them, as you say, are uneducated and illiterate. Your conclusion, therefore, is that the universities should make a policy of accepting them over whites despite this fact? You want to have universities full of uneducated and illiterate people? I don't have statistics to show that pre-university whites are more literate, but if what you say is true, then you've presented a very good argument AGAINST the "quota" policies! University, law school, etc. is what we call higher education or post-secondary education. It is for people who are already educated and want to pursue further studies. Let's not turn it into an institution for learning the alphabet.

1) The fact is that universities like Harward have for years been accepting sons/daughters of rich lawyers, doctors etc.. Harward was accepting those students not because they are smart but because of their parents. I don't see you complaining about that. Of course GMAT(or whatever those american exams are) matter, but at the end it's all politics. If you are a sibling of a wealthy and powerful person will they reject you? Not if it means grants for university.

2) I don't want university full of uneducated kids. Uneducated is not the same thing as smart. Whoever is stupid and doesn't deserve being at university will ultimately fail out.

3) If only whites got law degrees, who the hell will be judging/defending/prosecuting in black neighbourhoods?? Don't you think a black judge would be more appropriate there? Racist, not racist.. but to be a good judge you better understand people you are judging. And if you are white person coming from a wealthy family I doubt you'll understand them.

Well, that's blatant racism if you ask me.

But if I owned a club, I wouldn't have any of the Dj's play hip hop either. No fucking way. Not because it's "black" music.....not at all. But I personally hate it, and I don't like the crowd that the genre attracts. Whenever I go to a hip hop club in London, it's always the "thug" types hanging around (yes, a lot of them are black). I just don't like that culture at all.....the whole hip hop image that influences youth so much. I wish everybody listened to trance.

My friend is black and he dislikes rap/hip hop but loves trance and house. How do you think he would feel if he couldn't get into a club because he was black? That's ridiculous. I'd lay charges.

So there.

Haha, damn right uneducated isn't the same as smart. I understand what you mean though, and indeed, check out the failure rates of some of these kids accepted under affirmative action policies (as well as "legacy" policies) - you may be unpleasantly surprised.

This implies that caucasians are unable to judge minorities simply because they are caucasian. This sort of flawed logic is exactly the type of thing that causes these policies to come into effect - it's simply not true. And even if it were true, those same black judges could be equally biased against the white people in the courts they reside over.

Fluid has a history of racist reputation. Once an Indian friend of mine said her and three friends were lining up there (they too were indian) and asked three white girls infront of them if they knew what sort of night it was inside the club. The white girls told them that it was their first time coming to this club and they had absolutely no idea.

Well, the line moves and the white girls go in...the bouncer stops my friend and says "sorry ladies, tonight is a private party"...they tell the bouncer that the white girls infront of them didnt know that...and he repeated his lame sentence again. They were denied entry becuase they looked Indian.

Sorry, but I don't believe this story one bit. It is almost word for word the same story I read on TNC half a year ago.

I'm calling in the bullshit squad.
