Expressed racism, even hate speech or incitement to violence, is OK. But people are free to judge you for it.

Hate speech laws are bullshit, but in no way should incitement to violence be tolerated.
I agree, though, that the best way to stop discrimination is to stop discriminating. Affirmative action is just HURR DURR ITS GUD WIN WE DUZ IT CUZ GUD ENTINCHINZ.

My contribution to this thread would be something like this. People of minority get more scholarship opportunities than white males... makes no sense. It should be determined by sheer intelligence... because someone is black they get to pay less for school. Stupidest shit I've heard. When I was filing out scholarship applications at my school I came across one that said you have to be black and less than 3.0GPA... so we are rewarding people for being dumb

the fact that the people giving the scholorship decided to include race in the matter is racist. they are discriminating against students who are not black.

I agree. about half the scholarships (probablly about 100 total are availble) had a race as a qualification. They were either "gotta be black" "gotta be mexican" which were the biggest chunk of them. One was "gotta be greek" and another chunk was "gotta be minority." The rest were based on academics.
Keep in mind this is a public school offering these scholarships too. It they were from a private company who wanted these qualifications I would be fine with it.
