<p>I agree. I don’t understand why all these people think they were rejected from their dream schools in favor of undeserving black and Native American students… It seems to me, based on the ignorant, entitled and myopic beliefs they disseminate on this board, that most of them were rejected entirely on their own merits.</p>

<p>No one here is criticizing affirmative action because they think they lost a spot at a college to a minority. </p>

<p>People here are are criticizing affirmative action because they think it’s unfair.</p>

<p>People here are criticizing affirmative action because in their infinite lack of discernment they see themselves as its victims.</p>

<p>White people earning more than black people for the same work is unfair. Men earning more than women for the same work is unfair. Homosexual people not being allowed to donate blood because they are automatically expected to have HIV is unfair. And so on and so forth.</p>

<p>I don’t see anyone leaping to right these wrongs on CC, so don’t give me that ********. Unenlightened self-interest is the true dynamo behind the rampant racism/classism on this board.</p>
