Ouch
The new editorial Khan is cold. Real cold. I like it. It's a welcome change from saying "Everybody's right!"
Anyway, someone wants to say something about affirmative action. Amy Sweeney and Yet Wa Li, interns at the *snicker* "Discrimination Research Center" want to make statements about affirmative action while referring to themselves in the third person. Since it's about race, let's go to the ridiculous overstatement:
Now, as sociology majors at Cal and interns at Berkeley’s Discrimination Research Center, we had the opportunity to learn that affirmative action is designed as a temporary solution to eradicate racial preferences that exist in our society. Rarely is attention given to the fact that the majority of white students are given preference in college admissions every year. (emphasis mine)
