@pegobry_en Incidentally, you know who ruins the nice white schools and forces us to build new ones further down the highway? Middle-class black people.
@aryehazan@xwanyex The reason AA isn't meritocratic is because we know the outcomes. Whether to admit unqualified blacks who (in this alternate universe) will be competitive by graduation is a completely different question.
@aryehazan@xwanyex But is that a proven college player who probably won't improve much, a suburban high school kid who's been to all the camps, or a toolshed from the sticks with no professional training? Meritocracy tells you not to draft Bill's nephew, but nothing about who to draft.
@aryehazan@xwanyex Even within countries, "meritocracy" doesn't have a positive definition. Imagine you're the scouting director for a sports team and the morning of the draft the GM says "Remember, we're a meritocracy." That either means nothing, or something very stupid.
@AlternateGeorge@SeanTrende@JackPosobiec You're just saying a name. That's not funny. I'm looking for the funny times when he pretended to be a "heritage American."
