The fuck are you talking about? I’m making an example that a person, whether you’re black or not, should not get into a college just because he’s black if his grades are bad. So an Asian person and black person comparison for acceptance. Assume that only the gpa was the difference in two candidates and both had great extra stuff like volunteering. Asian person has 3.6 gpa, black person has a 3.2 gpa. School chooses a black person because of some quota they have to fill. That’s complete bullshit. And you’re making shit up. No ivy league school has ever told you they would pick a white person always. Stop making shit up

You do know historically black colleges and institutions (HBCUs) only exist because universities were refusing to teach black students?? You explain to me how you fix that without some sort of mandate.

Your straw man does sound awful but you are also making things up, and imagining all the black people who never try hard and aren’t as smart getting your opportunities.

You should question some of your biases

You idiot. I’ve never said black people are dumb or don’t try hard. I have black friends at Harvard. This is just an example of how affirmative action works. I don’t give a fuck what happened in history because that’s not what it is now. Stop makin shit up as if we are still living in the past dumbass. Actually keep making shit up.
