| 67. Define "disadvantaged" |
|
I did not change the number the number of slots, which is clear if you re-read the post.
I'm a woman I apologize for calling you a smart guy. You are a smart person. argument still cannot be made that whites are disadvantaged. Four individual white persons were "disadvantaged" in the theoretical example, because they were disqualified based on race not objective measure. (Maybe we should level-set on the definition of "disadvantaged" versus "discriminated".) You keep talking about blacks in terms of being less qualified I find your insinuation deeply offensive. In the example some were more qualified, some less. Just as in life. That was a low blow. You're better than that. We're on the same side. I hate racism and want healing. I hope we get there in our lifetimes!  |
