Drop the bigoted statements and move along.
I wouldn't be bragging about getting rep points from people with elementary level reading comprehension.

Lol...well...

Thing is, he's claiming that he needed AA to get into St Louis, but SOMEHOW he got into UCLA and completed his studies.

What, did UCLA become a school for slugs all of a sudden? Last I checked, UCLA was a damn good school. How'd he get in there with his only fairly decent GPA when schools are supposedly discriminating against Asians?

So much for his "need AA to get in school" nonsense.

This.

Hopefully someone in this lengthy thread posted the debunking portion of this guy's "experiment." He got into a low level school and didn't get into any of the top rate institutions that his premise would make one believe that they could get into all based on being black and mediocre.

The school in question - St. Louis also stated that his academic achievement met requirements for admission in 1998 so he was not mediocre compared to the rest of the admitted class if his claims are true.

Do what you have to do, though, to ignore the point.
Is the word you were looking for discern?

Sure.

Synonyms of disperse include separate, so the word works, too.

And the point of this post was....?

Aren't you that poster that thought I was hitting on you and then said you "prefer to date men"?

Yeah this whole thing definitely seems like a sham.
My other statement was for people who blame black people or AA when they don't get into the school they desired, etc. I've seen people here do that way too often, so I wanted to have a little fun and mock them.

No, I understood exactly what you meant.

I can't believe that people don't know that. It is the double whammy of being discriminated against in public because of the color of your skin, but having no advantages when it comes to quotas for schools, higher education, or hiring practices.



If leftist quotas continue, I can see more and more Indians in the future (as we get more into second and even third generation kids who were brought up here) claiming to be "Black" for affirmative action purposes. First generation Indians are generally appalled at the thought of being classified as the same race as African Americans but the ones brought up in the U.S. and Canada are far more likely to be open to it.

Like they say, “What do you call the guy who graduated medical school at the bottom of his class?”
DOCTOR.

And anyway, a lot of Indians are a lot blacker than African Americans, so what’s the distinction?
