The Double Standard on Affirmative Action

Do you support more diversity on college basketball teams? Over 90% of players are black. Watch these affirmative action supporters change their standard when it comes to athletics. It's okay to ditch diversity on the basketball court because of talent, but there must be affirmative action in academics despite more qualified students being dumped because they are the wrong color. If you are the better student whose worked harder and received better grades, is it fair to not get into the school of your choice because of affirmative action that rewards poorer students because of their color?

Think about it. Affirmative action is discrimination. Wouldn't you love to think the doctor who is operating on you tomorrow, got into medical school over 75% more qualified students just because of his skin color? Wouldn't that give you confidence that you were getting the highest quality care?

Someohow I think quality in academics will matter more to me than whether my college team makes the playoffs. So if we're going to have affirmative action, let's make it across the board. Diversity in sports! No more preference for talent -- race quotas first!
