<p>In post 420, he all but called me a “racist”: I must say these two quotes, if not racist, do seem to encapusulate an odd fixation with what black people (whether descendants of slaves or second-generation Nigerians) are achieving. When I retorted that he had no basis for his “if not racist” allegation, he actually tried to post some “evidence” in post 435.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t have a problem if a school didn’t accept any [insert racial classification here] students so long as the school practiced race-blind admissions. Thing is, though, I don’t believe that’d ever happen, and I must ask, do you believe that in the absence of racial preferences, this would happen?</p>

<p>But how does considering race ever lead us to a world where it is not considered? I think the argument proceeds under the notion that by considering race at first we will eventually reach a state where it doesn’t have to be considered. Quite frankly, I don’t believe this approach will ever yield the desired end result. So long as race is considered, it will never lead to the end of race as an idea.</p>
