In addition to all the other responses, I feel I must point out one thing: you talk about idiots like George W. Bush being let into Yale, etc. because he has money.

Fine.

I agree, I also think he's an idiot. But tell me, what in the world does that have to do with race? That perpetuates the same old racist stereotypes that minorities have been fighting for a long time. Not all blacks, hispanics, or whatever are poor. Nor are all whites rich.

Do I like the system that allowed George W. to become our President? no. But you're saying that becasue you're a minority you're entitled to take advantage of the system and he is not. Make up your mind.
