President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
We have done far more than "googled it" which is why we understand it and you don't.
This academic paper you mentioned didn't mention skin color in any excerpt you provided and didn't mention DEI or even the word diversity in the entire thing. How exactly do you think it supports your contention that DEI makes skin color a positive or negative consideration?
first of all you are an idiot
second of all - that's clearly the context of what they are saying
and you're lying - it says diversity quite a bit
and more importantly, the reason why this article is so well known is because it's often cited in discussion of dei at colleges - weird - i guess everyone is crazy but you right?
Maybe it comes down to rickroll thinking "disadvantaged" means "black?" I'm honestly not sure where he's running aground here. Probably just didn't read the thing and assumed it said what he wants it to say.
if you scraped the politics forum for admissions of being ignorant on certain subjects or admitting they were wrong i'd be among the top of the list
in fact, did i not just tell someone i knew nothing of mince pies?
This is already a contender for POTY.
Cool. It will never bother me that you say this to me because you're one of the biggest dfs I've ever seen. I couldn't care less what you think of me.
What is clearly the context of what who is saying? Have you ever had to support a claim in your ******* life? The 8th graders I teach support claims better than this.
My mistake apparently I mistyped it.

I never once said anything or cared about how well-known the article is. I only care that it doesn't support your claim even slightly. And no, it's just you here that's wrong.
My mom (white) went to a rural white trash high school where they didn't have AP classes, SAT prep, fancy extracurriculars or whatever, this would have absolutely helped her with college admissions.

I think we might have to explain the concept of equity to him soon.
Where does what you posted mention anything about race? I took rural as kids in bum **** Oklahoma. I have no clue why you are assuming they mean black kids
Maybe its because if you don't bad faith assume they are talking about black kids your entire argument falls apart
the rural was a one off example - they are specifically and repeatedly saying "disadvantaged backgrounds" which is code for race but would also include some kids from bumfuq oklahoma
again, this is an incredible improvement over the clinton and bush era where it's more socioeconomic than race based - but it's still very heavily race based
pretty sure it was self evident to all that trolly is trailer trash
There are twice as many white people living under the poverty line in American than there are black people but "disadvantaged" clearly means black
41% of all white adults are enrolled in college while just 36% of black adults.
This equates to roughly 100 million white people and 15 million black people, but of course disadvantaged means black
Its pretty frustrating that Rick is adamant that hes a lefty but falls victim to the most blatant divisive lies from the Trump administration
Just bottom of the barrel easily verifiable slop that goes straight to his core memory
dei on paper vs dei in practice are two very different things
and a lot of mental gymnastics are done in order shift goal posts to avoid saying "standards were lowered"
Idk we had DEI at my company and they still give everyone the same KPI’s.
have you considered that when you effectively mitigate bias and discrimination that sometimes the best candidate happens to be a minority?
With Luciom out of the way you can be sure rickroll is going to go full throttle to be the new forum expert on every. single. topic. It took less than 24 hrs for him to try to reclaim his crown as the smartest guy in the room. He tried to keep up with Luc's daily posting for a while but decided he better take a back seat. Now, it's his time to shine!!!
One generation removed from rural white trash, but yeah.
My mom comes from a poor white trash family too. I wouldn't trade her for the world

THIS!!!
edit: Since the apparently did mention 'diversity', was it in the context of racial diversity? If so, Rick has a point.
THIS!!!
Funniest part was Rick's gratuitous callback to your Kamala Harris comment from nine months ago.
It's all he has so rings that bell to try to get others to pile on. Sadly for him the few that would absolutely answer it don't hang around here much anymore.
'White trash' is a disgusting term.
I assume the term 'Black trash" would be unacceptable.
Either both are fine or neither is fine.
I prefer rural trash so I can have thin plausible deniability that race has nothing to do with it.

If someone who isn’t white trailer trash calls someone white trailer trash, yeah. But it seems like they’re calling themselves that.
And many black people do call themselves ghetto, which is a racial and socioeconomic stereotype.
Preferably though yeah it would be better if these terms just disappeared from our language.

it's wild that you try to frame something which has defined our generation for college admittance - so much to the point that most of us agree "hey mamdani did what we wish we could have done" as something derived and inspired from trump
