That is rather disingenuous since you cut out the entire next paragraph where I go on to explain how I do go about defining it while you completely ignore the question. Sounds rather like the original subject of the discussion, actually. > "The reasons that programs like affirmative action were put into place > originally aren't gone yet. " > > How so? Proof? Alright, I can see that you aren't actually keen to discuss this in any detail. I put forth statistics that show exactly why. You choose to ignore them. You cherry pick individual successes. Those are great but obviously do not represent what is happening to a group as a whole. That's why I provided actual studies with actual statistics showing the problems. Anyway, I guess we've reached the point where further discussion isn't getting us anywhere. I understand that you want race to not matter anymore. I think that is wishful thinking and not based on reality. Hopefully we'll get to the point where race really won't matter anymore. Until then, I hope people keep working to level the playing field. I appreciate the time and thought you've put into the discussion.
