我支持大学招生采用holistic view approach. 我同意race 作为last resort to reach whatever the goal Harvard believes it is beneficial to the school, its student body and the society as a whole.
At the same time, I am against the race based AA being abused. At this time, I am not sure if Harvard is abusing race based AA or not . That is why I support 赵先生的努力to find out if Harvard has indeed abused race based AA or not.
THE IMPORTANCE OFDONALDTRUMPFar from destroying our democracy, he’s exposing all its phoniness and corruption in ways as serious as he is not. And changing it in the process. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/09/frank-rich-in-praise-of-donald-trump.html?mid=twitter-share-di&from=timeline&isappinstalled=0#
Trump does take heretical economic positions for a Republican — “The hedge-fund guys are getting away with murder!” — but on the matters of race, women, and immigration that threaten the GOP’s future viability in nonwhite, non-male America, he is at one with his party’s base. What he does so rudely is call the GOP’s bluff by saying loudly, unambiguously, and repeatedly the ugly things that other Republican politicians try to camouflage in innuendo, focus-group-tested euphemisms, and consultantspeak. In reality, Trump’s most noxious views have not only been defended by conservative stars like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and late summer’s No. 1 best-selling nonfiction author, the radio host Mark Levin, but also by the ostensibly more “mainstream” Republican candidates. Trump is picking up where his vocal fan Sarah Palin left off and is for that reason by far the favored candidate of tea-party Republicans, according to a Labor Day CNN-ORC poll. Take Trump’s peddling of “birtherism,” for instance. It’s been a right-wing cause since well before he took it up; even Mitt Romney dipped into that racist well in 2012. It took a village of birthers to get Republicans to the point where only 29 percent of them now believe that Obama was born in America (and 54 percent identify him as a Muslim), according to an August survey by Public Policy Polling. Far from being a fake Republican, Trump speaks for the party’s overwhelming majority.
The pope is a moral hero when he aligns with Republican ideology, and an agent of Latin American socialists when he doesn’t: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/09/gop_s_catholic_presidential_candidates_10_excuses_they_use_to_ignore_pope.html
