You didn’t get in because your scores sucked, not because you are white

What a dipshit. Some asshat named Abigail “Privileged” Fisher is suing the University of Texas at Austin for not letting her come to their school, claiming she was picked on and discriminated against because of affirmative action which let in people of color in over her pasty white butt. Leaving aside the fact that being white isn’t all that hard compared to the shit people of color have to deal with, her argument holds zero merit because her scores were NOT good enough to get in even if UT was an whites-only school run by the KKK.

Seriously, how entitled does her spoilt ass have to be to think that it was affirmative action that kept her out of a school she did NOT qualify for? Does she think that if minority students are kept out then UT would have enough classroom space to LOWER their standards and accept her?

Let’s look at who else doesn’t get in to UT: “Among the kind of student excluded by the Top Ten program, the university said is “the African-American or Hispanic child of successful professionals in Dallas who has strong SAT scores and has demonstrated leadership ability in extracurricular activities but falls in the second decile of his or her high school class (or attends an elite private school that does not rank).”

See? You don’t cake walk in because you are Latina. You cake walk in because you are better than 90% of your classmates and anything else is just gravy. Someone find words small enough to explain this to that goofy twatwaffle, Abigail “Princess” Fisher. I just weep for her that she had to go to Louisiana State University. Bless her heart.

You know why I didn’t get into Harvard? I didn’t even apply because my GRADES and my SAT scores WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH to qualify. Every person of color at that school took NOTHING away from me because it was NOT mine to begin with. Even if she had qualified, WHY in the name of All That Is Holy would a black/Latino student have taken “her” spot? WTF is wrong with her that she assumes those would be white spots taken by non-whites?

Furthermore, does that brat not understand that removing all affirmative action is NOT going to make any school the land of Whitey McWhite and his all star Whiteness? They removed all affirmative action from California colleges and boom, the number of whites dropped to 30%. Turns out that affirmative action was keeping Asian students from the total domination that the test scores and grades warranted. Oh wait … perhaps the fact that many of them were not born in poverty and were given advantages over their childhood might have affected their results, and thus it is unreasonable to deny intelligent whites/blacks/Latinos a sport simply because their grades were good enough to qualify but were NOT in the top 5%? Perhaps diversity is not such a bad thing, since it allows members of varied communities access to opportunities? Looks different on the minority side, does it?

However, the current Supreme Court is just aching to turn back the clock to those halcyon days of the 50’s … when there was no affirmative action because Jim Crow laws ruled the land. There was also lynching and women couldn’t have a checking accounts but let’s not look at that ugliness when there is all that glorious lack of affirmative action to enjoy, okay? So this little twatwaffle and her legal team of neo-cons may get to knock the feet out from under affirmative action, because her preciousness had to go to LSU.

Tell me again whose got an entitlement problem?

    Betty–

    Thanks for giving voice to my thoughts! You go, girl!

  2. awesome. i read about this and only 25% of the freshman class is admitted with any concern for Affirmative Action or race. As in, if she had spent time studying instead of being so damn entitled she could have gotten in on MERIT. Instead of being a big loud poor-little-white-dominant-culture-me

    I was actually surprised how far she got with this case. When I heard about it the first thing I said was what were her scores, GPA, and extracurricular. She basically had a C/B- average on the SAT and an below average GPA in comparison to those who apply to UT. BOO freaking WHO you wanted to go to UT since you were 4, I wanted to be the queen of Ireland since I was 4 too.
