being irish, i get NOOOO affirmative action... my ancestors were oppressed, too.... but yet, im prolly gonna lose a college acceptance to a minority cuz his ancestors may or may not have been slaves/oppressed?????? thats bullshit to me........ im not gonna start campaignin to get rid of affirmative action..... but in my particular case, it makes no sense for other people to get a head start on me.....
