What they say and what they do, doesn't line up.

Unsealed admissions data spanning 1995 to 2013 showed that admitted Asian American students scored consistently higher on average on the SAT than admitted students of any other racial demographic. During the six-year dataset analyzed at trial (2014–2019), Asian American admits averaged a score roughly 50 points higher than white admits and over 120 points higher than Black admits.

@burna_vibes @etanthomas36 I didn't say that, read it again.

There is no parallel. Kirk was a good father and husband and person who's message is misconstrued to create a political enemy. Floyd was a shitty person and criminal who has been championed for political reasons.

He can say what he wants and comedy is subjective but the joke doesn't work for Kirk. Dave showed something in himself with this opinion that shocked a lot of people.

[Topher @TopherTN]

So you do understand affirmative action actively discriminates, but calling it out isn't allowed?

Calling it a dog whistle is just an attempt to shut down the conversation, it's as lazy as writing your opponent off as racist. Modern issues aren't off limits because of an unfair history.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@MUSICANDBUILDS The left can frame everything around race but if the right challenges it, they are racist, race hustlers.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@vha_mo There's no comparison and no joke. "I can't breath" ties to the Floyd story, that was the joke. It doesn't work in a Kirk joke.

One man people subjectively call racist, the other objectively was a piece of shit criminal.

@TheDaveAbbitt @ericdegaardt "walking away from this account" ✌️

@utd_series @javarlake @etanthomas36 I'm not him but logically, white is the majority race so most likely to be swapped out for a racial quota. You so badly want to dismiss your opponents as racist. It's tiresome, you can't be taken seriously with these tactics.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@PsychotkWrld @etanthomas36 Good argument

[Topher @TopherTN]

Him nor I said whites are the only ones qualified. I know you can follow the logic. She admittedly only got in because of affirmative action. With a limited number of applicants accepted, that means she took the spot from another race. In an attempt to equalize outcomes, this will happen. Affirmative action is discrimination and redundant considering anti discrimination laws.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@utd_series @javarlake @etanthomas36 Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard. Whites were in the middle range which is irrelevant but obviously your only focus.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@PsychotkWrld @etanthomas36 That just shows you don't understand the point. When racial quotas are the priority, qualifications will be questioned.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@utd_series @javarlake @etanthomas36 You are so focused on race while I argue merit. But I'm the racist.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@YCanYouSee @etanthomas36 We have anti discrimination laws now. Perhaps you don't understand the current application of affirmative active actively discriminating vs other races.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@utd_series @javarlake @etanthomas36 Right, the equal opportunity of a lowered bar based on identity not merit, a race to the bottom. Affirmative action enables racism.

[Topher @TopherTN]

You asked about affirmative action recipients, you didn't specify any individuals. You must be asking about Justice brown. I don't need to have an opinion on her qualifications for the point I made, she said herself she got the opportunity because of affirmative action.

Affirmative action is a top down attempt for equality. In practice it discriminates on some groups to prop up others. It's reduntant considering anti discrimination laws unless you're goal is equality of outcomes through active discrimination.

You're question you keep ending with is too ridiculous to respond to.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@utd_series @javarlake @etanthomas36 That's the problem, because of affirmative action I can't say whether or not a recipient is qualified for a position

[Topher @TopherTN]

@utepcoldest1990 @etanthomas36 That doesn't disprove the point about Merritt being ignored to satisfy a diversity quota. All you people can see is race and identity.

[Topher @TopherTN]

@LewzTheryn @etanthomas36 That's the reality of affirmative action today. If a black person received a position because of their race, then that position was taken from another race. The point is, don't worry about race, worry about Merritt. Nothing racist in that position.
