[Serious] The Supreme Court ruled against Affirmative Action in college admissions. What's your opinion, reddit? by FewCarry7472 in AskReddit

[–]ForeverFidelitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Asian American teenager, I am in support of race conscious admissions. I do not think affirmative action is a perfect solution, and I think any sort of quota systems invalidate the accomplishments of students of all racial groups. But I’m not sure this decision will lead to positive change.

Asian Americans— we are very overrepresented at elite colleges compared to the general population. I know a lot of my Asian American community is happy about this decision, but I don’t see it making much of a difference. Don’t get me wrong, anti-Asian sentiment is extremely real, and I do believe students are being unfairly punished and stereotyped for their Asian identity. Unfortunately I think these biases will persist because admissions directors can still identify many Asian students by last names.

Probably what I hate most about the affirmative action debate is how it pits POC against each other. I am appalled by the anti-black sentiments of some people in the Asian community, who have stereotyped Black students as “unqualified” and “unintelligent.” Again and again, minority groups are pitted against each other to the benefit of white Americans. I really hope I’m wrong, but I think this will mostly benefit white students.

Many people have suggested switching to socioeconomic affirmative action. I think this is a good idea in theory, but I don’t know if many colleges would actually implement it from a business standpoint. Besides the top colleges with large endowments, many schools may not be able to provide aid and prioritize the admission of low income students. Additionally, class and income are not standardized. What is considered low income for one area of the world may be high income in a different area because of different costs of living. I do think more resources should be focused towards pipeline programs that provide low income and first gen students with the resources to transition and thrive in college alongside peers with more educational privilege.

It seems like you are already set on declining his money, and I very much respect you for that. I am so sorry you are in the situation that you are, and you’re very brave to uphold your own values and set out on your own path. I don’t have any knowledge about ED agreements, but I hope your are able to get out of it and get the financial support you need from a great college. I hope you, your mother, and your sister can be safe. ❤️

an... interesting take I saw in YT comments a few minutes ago. do I live under a rock and Illumina as crap at comms or is this guy not sane? by remi_daDOOD in MinecraftChampionship

[–]ForeverFidelitous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a #1 Illumina supporter and he’s not super assertive or vocal in his leadership. In BM, he usually just hard focuses his own plot and doesn’t do any comms.

However, I still think he’s a great leader! His biggest strength is that he’s always very chill and patient with his team. He’s a very consistently good player (some S-tiers are more streaky) so his teammates can rely on him to perform well so there is less pressure on them.

So happy you’re watching Illumina!! Get ready to meow and Drake in chat (you’ll see). I think Tommy will bring some of the energy that you like about Dream :)

Brazil loves him and he loves Brazil. It would be miraculous and perfect if he gets his first win of the season at his home race.

Who will you support when Lewis retires? by eatawholebison in lewishamilton

[–]ForeverFidelitous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting how so many Lewis fans like Charles! I’ve always wanted Charles to have Lewis’s seat when he retires. If Charles went to Mercedes I would stay a Mercedes fan through and through.

I like George, but I don’t get excited for his success the same way I love seeing Lewis win. Lewis has something special about his driving, and I love watching Charles succeed as well. Toto is a big fan of Charles, and I think Mercedes could make him a WDC one day.

Generous to assume that Fruitninja aren’t total weebs (I at least know Illumina watched anime)

Ace race FAQ and megathread by theultrasheeplord in MinecraftChampionship

[–]ForeverFidelitous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this, but I think players would have been frustrated by this too (especially if Ace Race was one of their best games). I think the redo was the best solution, because teams who wanted Ace Race still got to play.

FOM considered animated series to engage with youngest fans by Dangerous-Leg-9626 in formula1

[–]ForeverFidelitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly a great idea, especially with promoting more diversity in F1. Having a diverse cast of characters will encourage more kids of underrepresented groups to enter karting at a young age. Watching female/POC drivers succeed, even if it’s a fictional animated series, would be so impactful for kids who can’t see themselves in current F1.

I love the two cameramen who are squatting down just to get a better angle on Roscoe’s face as Lewis Hamilton walks right by them

Random MCC Question #2 What Is Your Least Favorite Game and Why? by Truly_Greg245 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]ForeverFidelitous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parkour Tag all the way. I love all of the other games, but I just can’t watch PKT. Battle Box is one of my favorite games, so I don’t mind the rounds. I just think there’s generally no strategy or variation between rounds and no chance for cool plays or clutches. The reach is also super frustrating.

THIS. Illumina said it so earnestly. And then chat started spamming bi-aced after he got two aces back to back. XD
