and I don't mind if you call me racist for supporting positive discrimination on the basis or race/etc, seems a bit silly but then so is most name calling. On the same basis you can also call me sexist as I support positive discrimination for women.
Obviously racists support racial discrimination. That doesn't mean you in particular are a racist. Intentions are important. There's a difference between someone being ignorant and someone being racist. You can support a "bad" policy for either reason. Personally I think race based decision making is a net negative.
I've asked you twice before (and posed a smilar question itt that went unanswered/avoided)and I don't expect anything different this time, but here goes....
How do you determine the qualifying races? What are they? How do you rank/prioritize them? It seems very strange to me that people support race based discrimination but avoid the most obvious and basic question as to how it would work

You are deeply concerned with "bad faith" posting... but somehow you missed the fact I wasn't banned for "racist posting"

This is all too low content, so we should probably not derail further, of course :P
Yeah I didn't think there was even a debate about colleges being completely left biased. Are people actually denying that? It seems as silly of an argument as questioning the claim that the NRA is conservative
This type of lunacy isn't rare, it was all predicted by those that understand the roots of the ideology. These are certainly perpetuated by left wing students and professors
