Well, racial preferences for hiring and education was something you used to support. What were you thinking when you supported it? Does it line up with your diagnosis here?
Pretty much, yes. That was before I got kicked out of the house and become one of the objects of that elite concern. It was also before I confronted the prospect of my kids having to do some sort of diversity dance to pique the interest of some white admissions officer.
I don't understand the first part of this but I do understand the latter part about your kids. I'm a white dude who sent his kids to their flagship state school; they'd have been better off, just learning-wise, if they'd started at directional state, or even a community college. So consider that the elites might be doing you a favor. :)
> If your point is that this is noodly enough not to be interesting to anybody else: fair enough.
Not at all. Please carry on. It is a good discussion. I meant, I would enjoy hearing you guys debate this topic in person where you're not limited by text or latency.
What happened for you to get "kicked out of the house"? This is sometimes in the back of my mind. I'm usually just curious - but sometimes even asking a question is seen as an indication of wrong think.
You may be surprised at the spectrum of people who are a)admissions officers and b)support the current thing.
I think if minorities didn't want jobs as lawyers, they could simply not apply for the job. Getting hired at a big law firm isn't something done to people unwillingly.
