You said,
“My point was that this portrayal didn't even get to the point of the issue, and thus didn't represent any sort of dissenting opinion on actual Affirmative Action policy - their example did NOT, in my opinion, fit what they were trying to fight.”
I disagree. The racial based discounts for cookies is a good picture of the premium given to certain races in AA programs. When points are added toward a required total for program entry based upon race, in a way, entry to that program has been discounted for those individuals. Special treatment based upon race is the issue. It may not be a perfect picture, but it works.
You called the sponsors retards and idiots because of their belief that the discounted cookies represented what takes place through Affirmative Action. To me, that is stating a position on their belief.
You also said that AA programs generally suck in many ways. We seem to agree on that.
