Sorry, cop out, and everyone can see it. I said that way in which you used "TAV" rendered it meaningless, and you proved my point. For the most part, you seem to pick and choose aspects of "TAV" to suit your particular bias. Almost everyone does, but you are too lazy to even attempt to rationalize it. You often select a wildly ideological approach, and quote it with no attachment to any specific issue or any reality. Pick something, anything, and attach it to a real policy debate. I have a couple thousand posts here, pretty much outlining my view on the real world balance of different aspects of my "values". You have nothing but endless generalities.
Okay, I'll humor you. There was a time when you had a chance to get into your preferred college based on your grades and accomplishments. You work hard and you have a chance to reach your goal.....a traditional value.......work hard.....be rewarded. Now, your skin color is a major determination with many universities. Here's another one.....real simple.....we honor the value of life. Now we have a political party that is ok with "having a discussion" to determine if a newborn baby makes it to another day. There you go......take it and run.
Wait, you don't think in the past your skin color was major determination for many universities?
I think you may need a us history class.
C'mon, it wasn't a factor back when those pesky brown folks were denied any proportionate representation, duh...
How far back do you want to go? Up until 1978 race wasn't a factor in college admissions. strictly based on several factors including achievement and recommendations. The Supreme Court ruling in 1978 gave colleges and universities the go ahead to include race in who gets admitted......basically reverse discriminating against whites who may have got better grades and SAT scores.....so for the past 40 years. You are not trying to say colleges discriminated (denied) against minorities prior to that.....are you?
