I just found out that I'm somewhere along the lines of less than 5% Uruguayan. Does this mean I can apply for Latino career opportunities?

Also, since I'm white and most of the population in Uruguay is white, are they going to ask me to whip out a genealogy tree?

With the coming liberal onslaught, we can be assured that just like we have quotas for so called minorities in educational institutions, we will soon have quotas for LGBT students. Pretty sure this will happen soon.

So, my college just decided to give free Ipad 2's to Hispanic and Black students enrolled there. We are a small school, but with a sizable proportion of those two groups. No Native American students here, unfortunately.

How the fuck can the school do that?

So, I caught this in today's paper: affirmative action is being debated by the Supreme Court again.

Its surprising the court decided to hear it. The Graatz v. Bollinger implied the issue was off the table for at least 2 decades, and there is no remedy for this particular case. Kagan was responsible enough to recuse herself.

I dislike judicial activism, but America seems to have passed the buck to the courts here.

I'm a college football coach for a Division I school. I've been doing this a while, and am pretty good at identifying the best players. You are a Computer Science major with a vague passing interest in football. You decide you want to go out for the team, and threaten to sue me if I don't let you play. The administration makes me take you in.

I bust my ass training you, knowing full well that you will probably quit after a game or two. You remind me that if I acknowledge the fact that you'll quit, you'll sue me. You show up to practice and work hard, but some questionable conflicts occur between you and a couple of the other players, and you manage to get them kicked off the team. The administration tells me that if I don't put you in first string, you'll sue, so I do.

Why is there affirmative action when it comes to recruiting at major banks? I don't see the media quoting how many minorities a bank employees...
It seems very unfair that hispanics, blacks and native americans get a distinct edge when it comes to the recruiting process for summer internships(I thought this stopped at college acceptances). Does this hold for full time recruitment as well?

Also, how big of an advantage is this and from a philosophical and moral point of view, do you guys think this is fair? Especially the fact that some of the better represented minorities like asians and indians still have the suffer the persecution and prejudices associated with being a minority but get none of the benefits. The NFL and NBA doesn't employ affirmative action, why should GS MS and JPM?
