You're being ridiculous. There is very little distinction in affirmative action as it is practiced today, and diversity seeking universities. Don't believe me? Go look at the UM Supreme Court cases portrayed in the media as "affirmative action cases."

How is reverse discrimination audacious? The fact that you refuse to recognize it is pretty outrageous in my mind. What you're telling me is that its ok for a university to accept a black candidate over an equally qualified white person simply because they're black. You're right, thats not reverse discrimination at all...

As for "leveling the playing field," you'll have to look other places. White people aren't holding the black community down. I highly suspect your blaming of the problems on institutionalized racism aren't aiding the rise of the black community either.

Again, about me "implying" that all minorities are only in school in place of white people, I never even came close to saying that. Try as you might, me saying that it HAS happened is in no way similar to me saying it ALWAYS happens. I figured you two would understand that, but perhaps my confidence has been misplaced.
