Providing an alternative definition of racism and then pointing out a bunch of cases that meet your version doesn't change the actual definition of racism.


What "alternative definition" are you talking about? The poster said that it is OK to discriminate on college admissions based on skin color. Discrimination on skin color is racist wherever I have been.

Saying we should take skin color into account makes a person a racist. You said we should. That makes you a racist.


Personal insult.

Do I need to PM a mod about this?

If you want to complain that pointing out favoring someone's skin color being racist as a personal insult, feel free. All I did was point out what you said and what it means. Instead of saying it is a personal insult, maybe you should reflect on what you actually are saying when you say it is OK to favor based on skin color. Because, that is exactly what you said. You also strongly implied that Trump is being racist for NOT favoring on skin color.

Do you see what I am getting at here?

Our UK friends are taking the Trump trolling to a whole new level.



I’m wondering if these are available in the US, and how much they cost.

I think it is more of an exposure or experience thing, rather than an IQ. They are probably acting out of fear.


Fear?????????
Asian students are feared on campus?
That's absurd
Take the scripps spelling bee
Its mostly Asian's of Indian decent that compete
Absolutely nobody is fearful of Asians in this case and they dominate the competition.
Whites keeping Asians out of IVY League schools is simply based on racist hate

I'll chime in. To respond to terapined's 25 posts about Ivy League schools discriminating against Asians, if he means "Asian-Americans", I agree with him. If a candidate is Asian-American and has a better compilation of scores, references, experience than a comparable "Caucasian-American", then by all means let the Asian-American in. Interestingly, the upper tier schools will allow a defined percentage of actual foreign students in, and I am not aware of their relative academic strengths.

Little story..... In residency, a co-chief resident with me was African-American. He was well aware he had it easier getting into Med School than equivalent Caucasian candidates. The joke we had was that my father was in jail, my mother essentially raised me and my sister alone on a low salary, while his mother was a doctor and his father was a chief of police. Who 'deserved' the extra help?

I strongly disagree with the suspension, by the way.

That makes it even more satisfying to me, somehow.

So I’ll just assume the book/guy doesn’t exist and you were lying to try to prove your point, as you often do. Until you can prove otherwise.

Carry on.


Just in case you missed it, the book is: Almost Black: The True Story of How I Got Into Medical School By Pretending to Be Black by Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam
