    Plus, statements like these are like horoscopes: vague enough that they fit your opinions. But the wish either assumes people think like you do (but then why would you need to do this?) or that you’re special enough to be rude unilaterally. Because people with opinions you don’t agree with would just use the same tactic toward you. E.g. some conservative saying “I don’t care” and leaving every time people try to talk about the importance of not being racist.









  • Amazing how you parlayed an undifferentiated critique of adult reading levels (one that specifically mentioned that immigration, i.e. “brown people”, wasn’t the cause of the low percentage) into an attack on affirmative action. If you knew what you were talking about/weren’t being disingenuous, you’d know that “holding everyone to the same basic standard” is the goal of affirmative action. Because people of color often require higher credentials to receive attention at equal levels to less skilled yet less visually-ethnic applicants.

    This and the previous, hyperbolic remark that you were “all but run off campus” because you were being a grammar nazi makes me believe it wasn’t just the “grammar” that was the issue.
