Why liberals should never be in power...

[Weltall]

#3 is clearly the relevant one. And two can play your game, Weltall... it's discrimination to not give people in the category of 'lower class' treatment that would help to improve their chances of attaining equal status.

No it isn't. In reality, the only way not to discriminate is to not give anyone any advantage, to let things happen as they may. In fact, it would appear to me that giving the lower class special treatment goes right along with "Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit". That line sums up PERFECTLY what Affirmative Action is: Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit.

You need to read a little more carefully. I will not argue the merits and demerits of affirmative action. I've made my stance crystal clear. But you cannot say it is not discrimination, you make yourself look stupid by repeatedly doing so. The very definition of the word proves it.
