[B]I'm not calling them idiots because they don't like affirmative action. I'm calling them idiots because this was a horribly ineffective and verging-on-racist way of saying that they don't like affirmative action.
Ineffective???? Are you nuts? Are we (a bunch of people basically unaffected by the protest ) not sitting here on the 5th page of a thread discussing it? Is that not the point of a protest? To get your point out in the open? The fact that this is one of the longest threads in this community shows it was highly effective. I am not stating I am for or against affirmative action, but this was one hell of an idea
Also, what this article doesn't tell you, is that a good deal of the students in this conservative group were minorities. Take what you want from the whole idea, but I think this was a clever protest. Offensive? OH YES... BUT CLEVER.
