Not just that, but some people are intent on being willfully ignorant.

That is the reason quotas were initially instituted and AA policies have grown and been tweaked since then.

Need I remind you of Abigail Fisher, the less qualified white woman who claimed she wasn’t admitted to UT-Austin due to AA policies. Only to find out that, 42 white students with lower scores were admitted over her and only 5 with lower scores were black or latino. Keep trying to blame certain minorities for your failures in achievement. We will continue to attend the nation’s best institutions and become even more successful.

You don’t to determine what is first and foremost in someone else’s identity. For you, your race is first and foremost because you place the most emphasis on race. For her, her culture/ethnicity might be most important. She doesn’t “claim eligibility” for Hispanic preference. She’s Hispanic...period.

LOLOL...nope. Her statement was that Anglo whites were the ones that had a problem with her being a white Cuban and so she is speaking out on the issue. Anglo whites were hostile toward her. Of course, you label her racist for speaking about it. Not surprising.
Triggered!

Yes, I'm pretty surprised to see a non-Jewish woman who has pale skin and is likely of 100% European stock whining about how she's a victim of white people. What are you saying, that you buy into her b.s.? Why? She's pulling off the racket of the century, and I'm usually against people harassing college speakers, but in her case I'll gladly make an exception.

But I am curious about what it takes to be a "person of color" and a victim of the white man. You just have to say you are, I guess? All right, here it is: I'm a person of color, and I'm tired of being beaten down by those who have white privilege. Now where's my professor of victim's studies position?

Incorrect, blacks are the largest recipients of our welfare dollars and affirmative action percentage wise to their population numbers and I'm sure most of them are women.

Boy, has this thread derailed.

She made ignorant comments and the students responded by burning her books.

Big whoop.

That’s a huge assumption to make regarding her heritage. She is predominantly white but plenty Caribbean Latinos are mixed. Looking at her, it is easy to see why individuals might deem her to have some mixture. She isn’t that pale. It just depends.

I have yet to read her books or hear a complete audio of her presentation. However, what I have seen is a bunch of unruly college students who cannot handle differing opinions in a civil manner.

Also, I wouldn’t assume that she is non-Jewish. There are Cuban Jews. Many of them migrated so she could very well be of Jewish descent.

Cut the bull, in the Jim Crow south this woman would have sat in the front of the bus and no one would have batted an eye. I'm guessing that you must also be a "white hispanic" who's falsely using the victim card to get ahead, the way you keep arguing about this.

But it's interesting that the man who the term white hispanic was invented for was deemed to be a white man by the left, because it suited their purposes.

So here's how it goes folks. Racist white man:

"Person of Color" victim of the white man:

Make sense? No? Didn't think so.
