Did your boyfriend not work hard to get into the Ivy League school? Just wondering because you make it seem as if he coasted in, when there were people who worked much harder that got denied.
What people fail to realize is that BEFORE Affirmative Action, people of equal or higher merit were being denied as well, due to discrimination based on sex and race. Is anyone going to deny this? When you argue against Affirmative Action, you seem to be advocating the right to deny women and minorities jobs they may be just as qualified for, if not moreso. Also, maybe you have not considered that you might have been accepted to your university over an equally qualified white male simply because you are a woman.
