In Defence of Affirmative Action

02:46 AM PST :: comments: 7

In light of President Bush's stance on Affirmative Action, Jim and Enji recently posted some critisims of Affirmative Action.

[A little bit of background: UMich has an Affirmative Action policy where underrepresented minority applicants get 20 additional points. Get enough (150) points, and you get admitted. Barbara Grutter, a white woman, is suing the school claiming that she was denied admission based on her race.]

Enji's post is entitled "c'mon, make me think", so I'm gonna try to do just that. [more]

It only took me 5 months to get to 100 posts. Hopefully, I'll get to the next 100 even quicker.

Got MLK?

08:59 PM PST :: comments: 1

Spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day doing some cross country skiing. Yes I am aware that skiing has nothing to do with civil rights.

Now I am reading about Martin Luther. The Protestant-Reformation-Guy. Not the Civil-Rights-Guy. So close, yet so far away.

What did you do today? Did it even remotely have anything to do with MLK?
