So you have no real proof that he was less qualified?
Basically.
This is something that happened 30 years ago, and didn't involve me. My uncle scored higher on the examinations. What is the issue here?
The point is that affirmative action places less qualified people in positions because they are at a "disadvantage."
Why are you arguing in favor of affirmative action? It reinforces the idea that whites are superior, and that minorities need a handicap.
If anything, affirmative action should be structured to assist the impoverished.

Come to think of it you're right...
I had a kid in my class that claimed he missed out on a scholarship and a chance to get into the school of his choice because of affirmative action....Yes, he was white...
eaalto: that's not what affirmative action is
affirmative action is giving preference to a member of a protected group ONLY WHEN that person is AS QUALIFIED OR MORE QUALIFIED.
AND...companies aren't required to use affirmative action unless they are forced to by the gov't.

where we will have to agree to disagree is the effectiveness of it. When used I don't think it does anything. (Hence why intelligent people don't use it)...That is what urks me, is the when whites point it out as if it does enact something. There lies my hang up.

OJ didn't play the race card, either. His aquittal had nothing, I repeat, NOTHING to do with his race. The card he played was called the "Very Rich Celebrity" card.
You might pull a muscle you are reaching so hard. The O.J. jury was as biased as a white jury against a black man in the old and modern day south. For those ofyou asking for an example of someone playing the race card look up David Brewer the Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District. He just got boughtout of his contract. That guy should have never been hired, he is unqualified for that position and then played the race card when he started getting pressuredto resign. It's not his fault though the LAUSD board should have never hired him, he has no educational background what so ever.
