Poll question: Which kind of Affirmative Action gets a person further ahead? |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-14-04 07:29 PM by Delano
The racial-quota/point-system kind,
OR
the "My dad's a millionaire spymaster alumnus, so gimme my Harvard degree/baseball team/presidency" kind?
I'm talking in the present, real world - not what you favor as an ideal.

1. Since AA gives minorities ALL LINDS of unfair advantages... |
|
...I assume EVERYONE would pick the first...

2. Are you getting the point? |
|
I'm not asking whether you favor AA, but which would you rather have at your disposal personally.
I don't think many people get as far on the first as they do on the second...

3. AA based upon economic status (or lack thereof) |
|
Let the working class in, I say.
This is intended to be the opposite of legacy/donor favors; I'm not looking to flame here.

9. Unfortunately it is all about who you know and not what you know |
|
and its also about dirty politiking in the office.
I have seen idiots move up just because they know how to gossip.
