    Right, you believe in racist policies so long as they only discriminate against certain groups and they benefit certain other groups. Just own the fact that you support racist policy, have no fear, no one can think less of you than they already do for that position.

    I do love that you just stay triggered all the time and it causes you to spout off like this which should embarrass you if you were self aware enough to realize it.

    I don't have a big problem with it. It's still up to the courts to decide the merits of the case.

    Excellent point.
    Maybe they'll start reproducing more white babies instead of getting useless degrees/careers.

    Who knows? Maybe they'll just make more mixed babies to piss people like you off.

    I agree with @Bobbythegreat that all racism is bad.

    I'm glad that Donald Trump has stepped into the arena to FINALLY be the champion for white people.

    Minorities have been the dominant force in the American education and work spaces for too long. Trump will finally be the hero for white folks and give us a fighting chance out there!

    See, you say that.....and then you go on to make it seem like you don't think that all racism is bad.

    You're sending a mixed message here.

    Do you or do you not truly believe that all racist policy is bad? There's been people here already admit that they support racist policy so long as it only discriminates against certain groups and so long as it benefits certain other groups, if that's how you feel, you should feel free to admit it. You won't be alone in supporting racism on these boards, you can stand with TheRealist137 and probably a few others on the issue. Hell I'm sure there will be more to boldly stand up for racism with him as time goes on.

    The problem is the GOP and a lot of its people do not seem to reject this part of their party and love to ignore it exists.

    Not embarrassing for him, we all see that this is a chunk of your current party to influence the demographics of America.

    I mean soon after your post...


    There are also polls that show white conservatives, specifically Trump voters... are now the group 'whining' about racism and discrimination.

    Well obviously it's not embarrassing for him, he lacks the intelligence and self awareness to be embarrassed by his stupidity. Referring to the entire Republican party as "white nationalists" is a pants on head r****ded caliber comment.....but merely par for the course when it comes to that particular poster.

    Also, I guess I still need to point out to some here that the Republican party is not my "current party". Then again, facts never seem to matter to some it seems.

    Yep, it really is tough for wealthy white people to get into schools...

    As Trump takes aim at affirmative action, let’s remember how Jared Kushner got into Harvard

    Those that reject White Nationalism in the Conservative party will be gone in less than 10 years.
    The political landscape is identity politics and if that's not at the top of your ideology other parties will tear your individualism up.

    Also cited Huffington Post. Can't into arguing that.


    Jared Kushner is Jewish.

    You can let people get into schools like UT easier that are black or Hispanic. If you want to go and check the ethnic makeup of the different engineering programs though, you will find next to none, and for that matter not many white people either.

    Something more needs to be done from the beginning not just the end of the education cycle.

    From article..... "Supporters and critics of the project said it was clearly targeting admissions programs that can give members of generally disadvantaged groups, like black and Latino students, an edge over other applicants with comparable or higher test scores."

    Generally disadvantaged groups....... Now that's an implicit admission by the New York Times lol

    If you are suggesting that this is all women are good for, then I'll be inclined to disagree.

    Affirmative action protects religious minorities as well.

    I'm not sure how that makes it any better. Are we to believe that racism is a good thing if it helps those deemed "generally disadvantaged" whatever the hell that means?

    I guess it's no surprise that people will stand up to support racism when they demonize those who are being discriminated against.

    @jcee15 may very well be right that you will either be a White Nationalist or a Democrat in 10 years.

    Shouldn't be a surprise, but still shocking to see that Republican think that White faces much more discrimination than Black. And as usual, Asian don't exist.
