I may not be directly participating in this conversation, but I don't appreciate your invocation of a false dilemma. The situation is more complex than you are implying, and the whole "Do you approve of affirmative action or are you a racist?" line has no place here on HN.

And yes, it is what you are saying. I'm not fooled.

I don't approve of affirmative action if I am just as poor and started out in just as bad conditions but get treated like cause I'm white my life was automatically easier and college will be automatically easier.

I don't believe in affirmative action, and my advice of "get used to an unfair world" is consistent with that view. Thanks for putting words into my mouth though.

> I'm not fooled.

Fuck off, chuckleface. Furthermore, don't tell me what has "place" anywhere.
