Affirmative Action bake sale sparks controversy

I agree wholeheartedly with that last statement. When we as a society start viewing minorities, the poor, the homeless and women as individuals, get back to me.

The idea that AA is quotas is in most cases ridiculous and where applicable, a missreading of what it's for. Racial preference should be for equally qualified candidates.

"Futhermore, you do realize that rascism in the workplace and education is barely existant? "
That is such a huge load of steaming crap I can only assume it's some of your pillow talk with the Cato institute.

"Even more so, if you support AA on the basis inequal education, why don't you support more fair education and/or affirmative action for poverty level rather than race? "
I do. The Government does not, and associates such attempts with 'class warfare'.

"advancement of minorities is a necessity". Not 'advancement'. Fairness and redress. But you think racism, gender preference, etc. is a thing of te past so its hard to talk about a level playing field.

Don't you think we already have unoficial 'affirmative' action for rich white connected males? Or are you, like Vinth, going to Argue that folks like W. get into Harvard and Yale on the strength of their transcripts?
