Racism!

The controversial campaign/election of Obama.
Why so much fuss?

BECAUSE HE'S LEFT HANDED!

College admissions claim to want to claim to want to diversify their student body so that that students will have a more worldly experience, but trying to achieve a perfect ratio of races when considering college admissions doesn’t quite seem like what college is about. This “reverse discrimination” is still discrimination nonetheless and shouldn’t be part of an academic setting. As an underrepresented minority, I don’t want to be singled out as someone who needs special help, or someone who has been valued by my race rather than my merit, and I don’t want to be haunted by the idea that I was only admitted to a university because of my race. Race isn’t something earned, chosen, or worked for; it is some, unchangeable part of a person that they were born with. It would be a no more appropriate qualification for college admissions than a movement to admit more left-handed people (or if they’re lucky, ambidextrous people). Then the 90 some percent of right-handed students would be better able to empathize with the plight of the minority left-handers.

I blame myself, a right-hander for not being more considerate of the hardships that left-handers must have to overcome throughout their life. The jeers, the stares, and just how much it must hold them back in general. I believe we need to have equal representation of both left-handed people and right handed people! We have two hands! But when they come together, work together, then we can truly be a nation again!!!!
