"Diversity"

[Dancing David]

knew what i was talking about, maybe if you didn't where your left side blinkers you wouldn't misunderstood.

You still haven't addressed the issue that in Grutter, there were many student who were bypassed for admission due to causes other than race, ignore away.


Totally incoherent.

Only because you don't want to adress it. Which is too bad because it gets to the misguided attempt at redress in AA.

There are factors in university admissions that are based upon things other than race which are discriminatory, vetran preference, legacies, donations by family members to the school, much less the bias placed upon the schools attended and the references given.

In the Grutter case there were in fact many more white students who were given this kind of preference and admited to the UM law school than there were non-white student given AA preference.

I agree that AA may be misguided, but what about the other kinds of preference in university admissions that are not based upon race?

I assume you might answer this, I asked it in the first post and have asked about it in others.

What makes AA any worse than any other sort of preference? (I agree that it is misguided)

The motive is still race based bigotry.

(ARe "Billy Bobs" really named "Billy Bob" I figured that was mostly nicknames rather than official birth certificate names. Ive never met a Billy Bob. Ive met a Bubba but that wasnt his real name.)

On the origin of Billy Bob, it is partly a pass on aliterative naming, and the preference of some areas to give dual names "Bobby Sue", "Brittany Lynn", but I feel that it is also based on the number of Bobs who are also 'Billie's in that they are "Hillbilly" Bob.

It does rank up there with Beer Belly Bumpin Bubbas as an epithet.
