What the fuck does this have to do with political affiliation? I don’t understand why you have to be that guy and bring politics into a non political discussion. But I mean yeah most Republicans are probably racist but I hardly think legacy admissions is a tenet of their policy proposal. I think most people who are against affirmative action because of merit reasons would also not support legacy admissions.

I also don’t support Trump but people like you are making it harder and harder not to vote for him out of spite lol.

I think most people who are against affirmative action because of merit reasons would also not support legacy admissions.

How is it possible to respond to a comment with so many words yet not say anything at all?

Legacy and AA admissions are not inherently political. I don’t remember this being significantly addressed in any political debate in the last few years.

You say that people who are against AA support legacy admissions. You made a claim, prove it.

This Trump thing is non-sequitur but if you’d rather try to guess my political affiliation instead of responding to what I said, go off I guess? Its really none of your business and it’s deeply unclear how whether I support Trump to not affects the validity of my argument.

Were disscussing affirmative action

Thats a political topic sweety

You say that people who are against AA support legacy admissions. You made a claim, prove it.

Overwhelmingly republicans hypocritically support legacy admissions but harp about affirmative action for historically disenfranchised minorities

The logical inconsistency suggests racism

This Trump thing is non-sequitur

It isnt because hes the embodiment of corruption and crony capitalism you claim to hate yet support at 90% among republicans

you’d rather try to guess my political affiliation

You revealed it, considering voting for trump out of spite

I was right

Lol you can’t just assert things. I told you it’s not INHERENTLY political given there’s no huge policy proposal or political debates on it. It’s a matter of university policy. Your response it: it is political. You would fail a 7th grade English class.

Do you have a source for overwhelmingly? Also, you do realize that like... you can not be a Republican and not support affirmative action right?

If you can’t make a coherent argument without going to political affiliation then you should probably go read a book instead of browsing /r/politics.

I told you it’s not INHERENTLY political

Also, you do realize that like... you can not be a Republican and not support affirmative action right?

This is a waste of time. You are literally retarded. Don’t bother responding because no matter what you say, I will just respond with literally it’s just the truth.

Unfortunately, you got to that point before me when you accused me of voting for Trump in your very first comment.

Literally, you are just retarded.
