I seriously beg to differ with your assertion that Obama (and Thomas) are "beneficiaries of affirmative action". Even if their race was factored into a decision to admit them to schools like Harvard and Yale, they still need the GRADES to stay there. No college or university is going to retain anyone--of any race--if they don't perform, and I think it's dubious to say Harvard or Yale is admitting students solely based on "affirmative action". There are so many people of color out there, with the academic chops to make the grade at these schools.Chicago isn't in the habit of handing out Lecturer appointments, so I'm sure there was something in Obama's curriculum vitae that neither you nor I are privy to. It is, IMHO, highly presumptuous to suggest Obama was admitted to, attended, or taught at, any of these schools based on anything other than merit. |
