    Why are we even building a tunnel? Waterfront streets would be much bettter.

    Look, AA isn't perfect and there are egregous examples of its misuse popping up. For instance wealthy African Americans students are a huge benefactor in the college admissions process.

    I don't like that it makes people too beholden to their background although they may have different views.

    But there's something to be said about "critical mass" in education and the socioeconomic intentions of the law.

    I imagine it will become less important over time.

    Justice O'Connor's opinion in Grutter v Bollinger is a good read.
    You've reached critical mass when an African-American guy gets elected to the Presidency twice.

    Hope this helps.

    Disagree. I can only speak about AA from an educational standpoint, but if everything went completely to merit based there would be huge disadvantages.

    Disadvantages for whom? Please clarify.

    Disagree. You're failing there too. A typical guilty white Seattle liberal knows nothing about Affirmative Action in the educational system.

    People coming from poorer areas generally go to high schools that aren't as good as those from more affluent areas.

    In Seattle you can look a schools like Garfield, Rainier Beach, Cleveland. These are minority heavy schools. If a kid can do well with that kind of disadvantage I think they deserve a boost in the admissions process.

    Huh. I've been surrounded by AA beneficiaries since middle school. Without a doubt I feel my education was supplemented as a result.

    You used some big words, so I'll take your word for it. You're obviously way smarter than everyone else on this board.
    Know-it-all personalities are simple narcissists. College students get this way due to a relatively trouble free trip through the education system. With an unrealistic high sense of self-worth because of good grades in school, and professors with little or no real experience feeding their egos, there is no wonder why it happens.

    Know-it-alls will become even more pushy and resentful if they sense that others will not listen or agree with their views. No wonder they have so much time to spend in places like this. Finding real friends is extremely difficult unless they can find another know-it-all who shares their fucked up belief system and they can feed each other's ego.

    Your recent efforts on the General bored clearly suggest otherwise.
