My point is I am not getting "even more" calls, at all.
LIV has moral opposition. It'd be more like if Lichess were funded by Nazi gold or something, and the person funding it was trying to do so because they want you to forget they stole a ton of Nazi gold. PGA isn't…
I dunno how successful this is, but when I get spam called, I do what I can to reach a person and then say, "Put me on the do not call list, please!" and (possibly) as a result, I really don't get as many of these spam…
Oh yeah, the feeling of being swamped is really the feeling of being unable to "fail" at some stuff (which is ultimately just another way to look at prioritization; you "fail" at the stuff you don't prioritize, in some…
Cite data that the KKK wants to end affirmative action? …uh, okay? [0] [0] https://www.csmonitor.com/1991/0613/13072.html
I can absolutely say that Yale being the only opportunity for some folks makes this bigger than “going to Yale”, in fact that’s exactly what I’ve been saying this whole time. For the affirmative action kids, Yale is a…
They're not both racist, and no; giving a qualified person a spot at a prestigious university is not "breaking the leg" of "some other guy", when that "other guy" has many, many other opportunities to excel in their…
> A surgeon cannot fake his track record and experience after residency and working. Fake? No. Fudge? Yes, easily. Besides, you can be competent and still substantially worse than a gifted surgeon would have been had…
Fixing an inequity is not racist, the racism is the creation of the inequity. This is like saying it's unfair to help someone with a broken leg because it takes time away from people with other injuries. The problem is…
Contrast it with my experience where my wife was 100% supportive of me taking multiple months of not working at all and not really looking to recover from my time at my previous employer. I think you're presupposing…
It's not racist as it does not support the idea that one race is superior or inferior to another. A "racist" idea would be that one race deserves more than another because of some inherent flaw or virtue. The idea of…
Yale is often the only shot at a high level of success for poorer, less educated racial groups. I'm not sure you're understanding me if you believe what I'm saying is designed to support wealthy, well-connected people…

You're not bearing any burden, as there are a lot of schools who aren't Yale that will accept you. This isn't the case for those who are benefiting from Affirmative Action. For some, Yale is their only shot, due to the…
The fact that you think the source of the racial discrimination is college admissions and not centuries of violence and hatred is sad, but unsurprising. You are not immune to history, what happened before you were born…
You are not. You think you are, but you are not. Also, the Civil Rights Act was passed in a time of extreme racism (necessarily, otherwise the laws wouldn't have been needed), society has advanced substantially since…
