And George W. Bush got into Yale as a Legacy and got away with getting poorer than average grades.
Sorry, someone sounds slightly bitter overall.

My FLOTUS is a beautiful woman and a strong positive role model. All I have to say to this person comes from grade school, âIt takes one to know one.â Affirmative action, my ass.

So conservatives think hiring preferences are wrong? Affirmative action is bad? Fine, be philosophically true to your beliefs. Quit giving preferences to veterans when hiring them for jobs. No more points added to civil service exams. You get it on merit only, no extra credit having to do with anything other than your specific qualifications for the job youâre applying for. Does carrying a rifle in Iraq make you a better meter reader for the city of Cincinnati than someone that didnât serve? I think not. Be consistent. Either concede some people in some circumstances deserve help, or no one gets any help. Leaving it to YOUR intepretation means you merely want to pick and choose based on which ox you gore today to help your cause.

âBy the way, why didnât the first lady share that the reason she got into Princeton was probably because of affirmative action?â
If she did, thatâs probably the most compelling case in favor of Affirmative Action Iâve ever heard voiced. She is thoroughly spectacular in all respects and her education benefits us all.

If itâs true than she is a perfect argument for increasing affirmative action programs.

A Democrat could emerge from left field with scant public or media knowledge of their personal life aside the usual facts. Then Murdoch, Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Coulter and the rest of the crew would create entirely new narratives, maybe even rivaling Whitewater, Troopergate, Behghazi, etc. It doesnât matter the Dem running or winning, 50% of the country will be targeted for getting convinced their new Prez is Satanâs offspring.

Why donât the rich and powerful ever talk about legacy entries into college. Their stupid kids are taking seats that should otherwise be available for people with real talent.

Wow, nobody is willing to give a little credit to anyone anymore. I am sure being a minority helped their chances to some degree, but that really only matters if they were a good student anyway.
Um, yes, that is the purpose of Affirmative action - to giving DESERVING school and job applicants an opportunity, for the specific purpose of redressing hundreds of years of systemic discrimination. This is news to people at Fox? Or they just have nothing else to bitch about? I seem to recall that the US still has a racial tension or two to work out, so why shouldnât FLOTUS talk about it? Oh, thatâs right, weâre supposed to pretend everythingâs fine now. As it is in FoxLand, where blond babes populate the screen, not as Affirmative Action hires, but as T&A hires.
