Good, maybe then I can enjoy the benefit of being a white male again!

It's about damn time. Let's give people jobs, scholarships, etc, etc, etc...based on merit not skin color, sexual preference, gender, religion, etc......

It's already banned in California.

If he persues this argument more, maybe he can deflect the negative attention he's getting from the war and boost his popularity back up

Do away with AA and the Post Office will become more efficient!

Exactly! And if that means more Asians are being picked, we just have to work harder.

Not likely. This will piss off the uneducated masses who think affirmative action is a good thing.

"I think the burden of proof will be on the administration, I think the burden of proof will be on Republicans to show us how they can be for diversity and yet be against the laws that promulgate diversity," Daschle said. "That, I think, is a hard case to make, but I look forward to their response."

Affirmative Action laws don't promulgate diversity, they promulgate quotas, and if quotas were the successful means to racial equality then we should have had racial equality many years ago.

LOL, and you might want to add the DMV and SSA.

I'm happy that Bush is standing against Afirmative Action. The problem us AA was developed so when you have two equal candidates and one is a white male with an easy life and another is a minority with a hard one, then the minority would get the position. That is how AA should work. However, what it turned into was a disgustingly less qualified minority candidate getting preference because of their minority status. I'm happy the SC might get rid of AA, though I still believe if you have two equal candidates then the minority (assuming they had a harder life) should get the position. I don't see how anyone can argue against that.

You're all a bunch of pointy hatted, cross-burning redneck racists.

I believe it's up to the person doing the hiring to decide that.....

I am glad GW is doing this, he has given in too much lately and I think he is loosing a little of his base by placating the liberals more often than he should.

Yea I'm a democrat Jewish red-neck from New York right because I oppose some black kid getting into a college over me even though his average is 15 points below me? If he has the same average as me, then hell, he deserves it. But how about that med school case in California, where a white guy with a 3.5 was denied a spot and a bunch of minorities got into the same med school with GPA's in the 2 range? Is that right?

Report the status of your sarcasm detector. It appears to be malfunctioning.

i think i was admitted to school to fill the quota

Regardless, i came to this country, spoke no english, i was clueless about the college process, until it was too late!!!!

but regardless, i still got some scholarship that all students who had certain criteria met, got----like sat score of 1200, a certain gpa, certain percentile in class...anyway, when i found out about that scholarship, i busted my butt to make sure that i could qualify...i remember i spent a whole summer memorizing an sat book full of words, but hell after 6 tries, i squeezed in that 1200 and got the scholarship...

It wasn't much money, but hell, it paid for my tuition and books every semester!

I'm sure if people put a bit of more effort in school they could do as they please...I dont buy that nonsense that just because you're a certain race you're disadvantaged...that's a lot of crap...
