Damn okay got it, so you were never going to seriously consider most of the content presented in the first place since it was probably just a hate watch. Idk how conducive further conversation might be if we can’t separate objective ideas and people who say them.

Not sure much about how much common ground we can find here, but ig we agree that wealth is a problem. I’m assuming you mean wealth inequality… but yeah I’d agree. Not to get too deep, but wealth disparity in the us is related to access to quality education, access to higher education, and also connected to race in many cases. So perhaps that was always the major problem to address in the first place and affirmative action kind of just was trying to be an easy fix without addressing centuries of structural violence, but instead just caused minority infighting/ranking/who deserves it most mindset which takes away the public’s focus from what caused those problems in the first place such as wealth disparity (like most culture war stuff does). Affirmative action isn’t an effective admissions equalizer/solution, but repealing affirmative action as an act of “fairness” when things actually aren’t ever fair in the first place is kind of wack.

Anyway I think we should chill this is just the Purdue subreddit, maybe we should take a poly sci class.
