[quote=flu][quote=harvey]But who will speak for the dumb kids?
CAR to the rescue![/quote]
It isn’t about dumb kids… You know the sad part of this is… Most “genius” kids either flunk out because they never bother to try or they end up like Mark Z and Bill Gates and drop out on their own because they have a better use of their time. So this really isn’t about “smart kids”.
It’s really about folks who paid their dues, put in a lot of time and effort to further themselves….And simply being denied opportunity because of their ethnicity in the interest of filling quotas…
Put in another way, it would be like the NBA having a policy that says that since asians make up 13-14% of the California population, asians are disproportionately under-represented on the LA Lakers and LA Clippers…
As a result, there should be quotas that specifically recruit asians and fill 13% of the starters on the LA Lakers and LA Clippers.. As a result, there should be a law that restrict the number of african americans that are on the LA Lakers and LA Clippers so that the percentage of african americans on the LA Lakers and LA Clippers is similar to the % of population in CA that are african americans….. irrespective of how good they may be..Simply because they are african americans and there are “too many of them” on the NBA teams…it doesn’t matter if they have “talent” or achieved great athleticism through “hard work”….
Of course the if someone did propose such a ridiculous racist/discriminatory policy, of course all hell would break lose.
So, again…….Double standards anyone?????
It would be a pretty funny spoof on the daily show if we had an SCA-NBA bill…[/quote]
It should be a SCA-NCAA bill. Racial quotas all around to include athletic scholarships and college team composition.
