no. the suspicion of your merit comes from the truth. you see, AA paints minorities into a corner. this time it isn't igorance, or bigotry, or hate that drives suspicion. this time it's the TRUTH that a minority isn't necessarily equal with his peers that drives such thought. the dignity of all minorities is demolished when it is the truth that vindicates suspicion... the right is no longer on your side.

the bit about their presence being valuable for "furthuring racial horizons on campus" is the most demeaning thing i've read in a while. for myself, i will never EVER accept something i did not earn so that my skin color will furthur the horizons of someone else. you may as well stick these people in a damn zoo.

So what exactly am I making up? My presence on your campus would expand your racial horizons. How does that demean your educational experience?
You accept things you didn't earn all day long just by virtue of your whiteness.
Your attitude comes across as sanctimonious, especially when you rail against all the things about AA illustrating to you my unworthiness of being where I am. I think those kinds of comments are very telling of your character.
