Seriously AKA, I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're referring to your friend attempting to justify reverse racism, then thats fine, but I'm not quite sure.
I'm not sure what you mean by "my leap," so I can't fully answer your question. As far as I'm concerned, there is no "leap" involved. Its simply that you believe a black student should get into a school before an equally qualified white person, simply because of race.
As for affirmative action, theres no use debating what it is and what it isn't. I apologize if I don't recognize your definition over the likes of CNN or MSNBC...while I give you credit for being at least marginally intelligent, I'm not sure my regard can be extended that far. I think our fundamental difference in ideology is that while I think applicants should be admitted on merit, you feel some people should be given preferential treatment. I guess we're just different.
Starang, I find your comments regarding the bell curve funny...especially since the comment you are agreeing with was a completely erroneous assumption.
