@NNewt84 Said

I'm a feminist and I strongly oppose affirmative action. Why? Because it completely undermines their merit, and it makes it all about their gender, and it leaves them little room for them to improve themselves as people. In a world where girls just want to be themselves and pursue their hopes and dreams, why should their entire existence hinge on their gender like this? Why can't they just go about their daily lives and work really hard to be the best they can absolutely be?


Sorry but I do not find anything in your thought & postings that show you are anything that is feminist. Try mysogny, it should line up a little more in tune with your interests.

Up for SCOTUS review yet again. I'm hoping this time they will see the correct answer & support the university.

"To fight racial isolation on campus, start with admissions

Under this plan, the university admits 75 percent of its students pursuant to a state law that ensures the admission of every student who graduates in the top 10 percent of a Texas public high school class. Given the stubborn persistence of racial segregation in Texas, some increase in African American and Hispanic students at the university was guaranteed by an admissions plan that drew students from every public high school in the state, but the resulting increases were still insufficient. So the university created a process of holistic review for the remaining 25 percent of applicants that was designed to increase diversity across a wide array of factors and also explicitly to address, in part, the “glaring racial isolation” among African American students. The university itself found that 90 percent of the most commonly sized classes included only one or no African American students."
