#would rather satisfy 'diversity goals' through int'l students
Text
wonder how many times i'm going to see the phrase "mediocre white" in the next week
#affirmative action discourse is my personal enemy#there's so much equivocation i fucking hate it#all white people suddenly become legacy autoadmits who're ensconced in fencing and lacrosse starting at the age of 8 for ivy league purpose#i couldn't even get into the competitive lib arts schools in the midwest with a 31 on the ACT#my 'legacy' options were a dinky state school in illinois or a dinky state school in minnesota both of which would have been ok if they#were anywhere other than the middle of goddamn nowhere#and this is coming from a pretty privileged background! god knows that most of my cousins weren't in as good a position as i was#and this isn't even getting into detail about the games that ivy leagues will play to avoid actually uplifting americans +#would rather satisfy 'diversity goals' through int'l students#anyways to summarize: legacy admissions delenda est; the best way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating#on the basis of race; and moral desert is incredibly fucked especially when you start trying to apply a racialist theory of it#of course the main things that are going to get amplified are 'look at how many whites there are. this is unacceptable' which is uhhh#not exactly something i would like more of in the discourse
