Still not black
Forum! Protest!
Morgan Gilman blows BAMN. Seriously. Show some critical journalism, dude. This is why a blogger has to show up to these damn protests and point out the stupidity. I can't do it anymore, I don't have time. We're missing out on a whole lot of entertainment.
At the forum:
"It feels like we're the enemies in here. We're sitting up here talking about diversity and everyone else out there protesting is doing something about it," said Monica Molina, a recent UC Berkeley graduate.
If by "doing something about it" you mean shouting ineffectively, then yes, that is true.
Molina said treating diversity as a research question dehumanizes the issue. She said in order to solve the problem, diversity must be dealt with as a matter of social justice.
It's a bit tough to argue the social justice of racial preferences. At a young age, many of us are indoctrinated into believing that Jim Crow was bad because it discriminates by giving preference to a particular race. It becomes a bit difficult, then, to turn around and say "racial preferences are GOOD!"
