I suppose this means you believe the justice system is primarily for revenge.

Maybe for you, but not for me.

Now you are begging the question.

Well coming full circle, I am not claiming she is exceptional. By things we can actually _measure_ she is not mediocre in context, because by those measurements there are other students at the university who did worse. I think we can agree it is ridiculous to say she’s mediocre because she’s white or came from the…

You can think that of course, but you haven’t shown any evidence to support it, just a lot of guesswork based off some people you know and projecting.

I was trying to keep the convo restricted to why we should believe she’s a racist. No offense but your anecdotal life experience has nothing at all to do with it. I don’t know that we know enough to judge her as oblivious, though. We simply don’t know. It’s just spun by media, for clicks, to paint her as some entitled…

I get that she didn’t contest the validity of the other criteria. Now please connect that to proof that she is a racist. Please back up that this _must_ mean she considers those other criteria to be fine. She might hate them all for all we know.

No, I mean it very literally. You didn’t read what I wrote. Because you spent your whole post arguing against me when I was primarily agreeing with you.

You clearly didn’t read what I just wrote.

Affirmative action _did_ disadvantage her, which is _objectively_ true- You get points for being of minority status. Nobody is disputing this part.

Where are you getting that she doesn’t “care” about the “shitload” of white people who also had lower grades? Is there any evidence for this?

On what do you base this judgment of her that she is a racist? Do we know how she views the white students who also had lower scores?

You are conflating qualitative and quantitative attributes. When dealing with the former, it is a little silly to apply labels like ‘mediocre’ because by definition we are dealing with opinions and subjective criteria, not hard facts.

Where are we getting ‘mediocrity’ from here? What does one do to earn their racial points? How is one mediocre from growing up in a town too large or too small?

As a point of fact you are simply wrong. That she has high scores than other people who were admitted is not in dispute by any side. This is a stone cold fact- Science! Whatever you think about this case overall, you cannot lay the label of ‘mediocrity’ at her feet.

Trump is saying the judge is incapable of being unbiased because Trump makes nationality an issue. Ask yourself: What would this situation look like if Trump himself were Mexican, but his positions were the same?

So we can assume a white male judge is interested in oppressing women or minorities?

I’m not sure what calling out the current situation is supposed to say. Certainly it’s not that “social norms are right”, because clearly there are, and have been, social norms that were “right” at the time but are “wrong” now.

“Just the way it is” is wrong, and progressives should understand that more keenly than anyone.

You really did not say anything, so I was left in a position to guess.
