They're in favor (it's in the platform) of affirmative action. But if you look at their personal behavior, they don't actually GO TO surgeons who were admitted and graduated med school due to the benefit of affirmative action. Same with attorneys -- when making the choice PERSONALLY, people choose the best they can afford. As I point out in the thread in which this comment originally appeared. finboy has revealed himself to be a racist. According to him, no one who got a higher education thanks to affirmative action can be as talented as those who didn't. Guess what? Affirmative action may get someone into a program, but they still have to get good grades to complete it. Unless, of course, they have a "good" family background (and lots of money), like a certain very mediocre student named George W. Bush. How do you learn who did or did not get admitted to med school or law school through affirmative action, finboy? Doesn't say anything about that on their diploma, does it? Oh, I forgot. You obviously draw your conclusion based on skin color.

**** you, racebaiter. You don't know me, and if you'll read that quote closely, I say NOTHING about the folks who enter school on the basis of affirmative action or graduate after entering that way. I point out that I HAVE OBSERVED what you would call "socially conscious" people, all of my life, shunning the beneficiaries of affirmative action. I've seen it time and time again -- it's hypocritical behavior, and it hurts people. Folks should ACT as they proclaim themselves to think.
If you want to find flaws with what I say, that's one thing, but you can find them without putting words in my mouth and calling me a racist.
