    I'm self-employed and got completely fucked over like you did. 255% increase with a reduction in benefits, in my case.

    It's actually just as destructive now as it was last year, if not more so. So if you actually care about the country it would still be a bugaboo.

    Racism arising from good intentions is still racism. Its not usually a white person that suffers, it usually an Asian.

    Ok, if you admit someone using race as a criteria for any reason, you still have to reject someone based on race as well. In my mind that is not a justifiable action under any circumstance.

    "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

    I think racism is making an assumption or decision based on race. You need to understand the fact that if you hold a racial preference, it means you also must hold a racial deference. Unless of course the resource being sought is infinite, which access to education certainly is not.

    I am not making an assumption. It is a self evident truth that if you admit someone to a college because of their race who is underqualifed, you have to deny someone admission because of their race.

    I'm not and I never have been a member of the GOP. I am a liberal, through and through. Justice Sotomayor is not a liberal, you are not a liberal. Justice Sotomayor sees every social issue through the lens of race. There is no problem that cannot be solved by looking at a racial solution. After all she is the "Wise Latina", that was elevated to the supreme court. If she had just been a Wise Korean she never would have made it. You should really give up the asterisks. They don't make your arguments any stronger.

    ...seems to think it's ok to reject an Asian American applicant to make room for an African or Hispanic American. That is despicable.

    No, it's not. That opinion is just rampant among people who view themselves as intellectually superior. And they use it to delegitimize the rest of the county, declare the debate as over, and ram their "solution" through, over the protests of the people it's supposed to help.
