Would it be equal for Caucasian people to be able to declare themselves to be black to gain access to affirmative action or college scholarships?

 

 

query, when did i say i was in favour of affirmative action?

 

You didn't, but would it be "equal" for anyone to just claim another ethnic background or are some definitions inherent?

A lot of supporters of gay marriage simply don't understand that a large percentage of the people who oppose gay marriage are entirely willing to support full rights to homosexual couples under the law, but they believe that "Marriage" has a very special definition and are unwilling to compromise on that point. If you support full rights under the law but believe that the definition of "Marriage" is not arbitrary and can not be changed how are you intollerant?
