affirmitive action bake sale!

Post by Col. Crackpot »

A Southern Methodist University student group held a bake sale. They sold cookies for a dollar. However, white women were able to buy cookies for 75 cents, Hispanics could buy one for 50 cents and Black students got the best deal, only 25 cents!

I like that it was a protest, not an actual bake sale thing, otherwise I would have been rather annoyed.

So did they sell to three Hispanic females or a white male and 2 African-American females?

I can understand their point, but it was a stupid way of going about it.

What a bunch of assholes! Imagine how you'd feel if you were a minority, yet graduated in the top 10% of you high school class, scored extremely well on the ACT, and were pulling down almost all A's in you college classes, and have these shitwits basically telling people that you got in because of your minority status. If I was a minority, I would have gone up there, ordered a cookie, paid full price, and then told them to fuck off.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
