This affirmitive action is crazy. You get people in grad school who don't belong there

On the issue of the test...

For the "cultural bias" of standardized tests, it becomes very clear, according to Mr. Matthews, that...

Tests aren't fair because fewer black kids know the definition of words like "mauve".

[derivativesarecool]

According to Mr. Matthews, Asians have not been subjected to ethnic tensions and discrimination over the last decade. There was no such thing as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1943 or discrimination during the Gold Rush. They, due to the 'tiny-eyed robot' stereotype and the fact that they do not make up a large political critical mass, do not get the privilege of affirmative action.

Has anyone ever been able to answer the question of how blacks can be worse at academic test taking but not inherently less intelligent?

@delanie1024 shut the fuck up you poop skinned spic

Racist that what he is.

I never thought I would agree with Buchanan,But what he said is true about how Affirmative Action was meant to be used and who has gained from it. Don't get me wrong I'm not a Pat defender by any means. He should have also said that white women have benfited more than anyone else.

Mr. Buchanan, you are making a mistake by compromising your principles on the issue of affirmative action. I know you believe all affirmative action is evil, so why don't you say it? Are you afraid of being called a racist? WHITES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DOWNTRODDEN BLACKS!!!!!! IF BLACKS WANT SPECIAL PRIVELEGES AT THE EXPENSE OF WHITES, THEY CAN BLOODY WELL GO BACK TO AFRICA!!!!!!

people are just plain sick of jerks like chris tingles trying to be the consummate white liberal kiss ass. if i was a minority i couldn't stomach his silly ass patronizing me and championing my corrupt causes.but thats what makes us americans.... matters of principle before matters of greed and handouts . hope we keep the faith on that one.

[1986billyk]

that monotone niggas idea of a fair test is basket weaving, bead sewing, and bongo playing. LOL notice how that racist nigga skirts the issue about irish need not apply . why cause he hates white people . easy take. most blacks and mestizo are less intellectual and orderely than whites and east asians. sorry only you guys can change that. just look at your neighborhoods for starters though some mexican and black hoods are trying to clean up in LA i give you that. maybe less arrogance would work
