Seeing how my viewership had dwindled down to Zero, I think its safe for me to reveal my secret sentiments regarding the Affirmative Action ban voted on in Nebraska and Colorado.
Remember, Colorado voted to keep AA and Nebraska voted against AA.
My liberal older cousin and I briefly discussed this, she said that she though Nebraska voters were mislead about what the the ban would really do. She said things like, not giving money to minority programs in North Omaha. And I mentioned my feelings that if we focused our attention on socioeconomics rather than race, it would be more "fair," etc. and then very poorly articulated an college admissions example of the unfairness AA creates.
Honestly though, I feel like Nebraska conservatives did not make the choice out of fairness and for being well informed. I wouldn't want to give us so much credit. I'm sure that they are just didn't want minorities to succeed, or whatever, unconsciously. Come on, Nebraska would never be cool about anything. They weren't doing it for the greater good and justice, for god sakes, most of Nebraskans listen to < barf > Rush and O'Reilly. < / barf >
Regardless, I don't believe in AA, so it worked out.
