<p>Think about it.</p>

<p>Fact: No one chooses to be born Asian.</p>

<p>Think about it :)</p>

3

<p>another post advocating AA, ugh.</p>

4

<p>Not advocating, just defending the people rather than the system.</p>

5

<p>can't speak for others, but all my qualms against AA are against the 'system' too, not the people that benefit from them. i mean if people give me a freebie, i'm not going to turn it down.</p>

6

<p>FACT: Nobody chooses to be born poor and white.</p>

<p>Another FACT: Nobody chooses to be born rich, well educated, and Hispanic (me)</p>

<p>What's AA? (I'm a newbie... :)</p>

<p>btw, are only African-Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanics considered minorities? That's what I've noticed in some scholarship requirements.</p>

<p>also, would a North African country be considered African-American?</p>

8

<p>I think the country would be considered African =P, unless every single citizen was also a US citizen.</p>

<p>aa=affirmative action</p>

<p>LET'S NOT BEAT THE DEAD HORSE</p>

<p>there are about twenty threads on AA already. four of which exceed twenty pages</p>

11

<p>I have nothing against the people who get AA, I just don't like the system. In fact, I have a friend who will be affected by AA even though he agrees with me that it is unfair. We joke about it. I'd even take the help if it lets me get into my top college. Too bad I'm Indian.</p>

12

<p>Who cares if they are born a minority. deal with it. They shouldnt recieve extra help though. I have never said anything bad to a black person. I really dont think they are that affected. AA is unfair to white people.</p>

13

<p>hey, live life for yourself and not for the world around you. who cares what other people think?</p>

14

<p>AA perpetuates racism.</p>

15

<p>I chose to be born a minority. I'm ****ed it didnt work out.</p>

16

<p>i chose to be born a native american, but i encountered an accident, and i'm chinese.</p>

<p>miscalculation sucks.</p>

17

<p>who cares what effing race you are... AA should be abolished, end of question, AA just fuels more hatred and jealousy between races anyway</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Care to elaborate on your last statement? You're forgetting an important caveat: No one, white, yellow, black, orange, brown, purple or green, is entitled to admission. So please stop perpetuating this, "woe is me", I'm white and I'm the victim, babble. It's so trite.</p>

<p>You think it's fair that blacks who are less qualified than whites, get admitted just because they're black? That's stupid. That's racist. How did they come up with this idea?</p>
