Couple of days ago the Republican club of UC Berkeley put on a bake sale which has the following price structure: Whites $2.oo, Asians $1.50, Latinos $1.00 Blacks $.75, Native Americans $.25. Women are given a $.25 discount. This is an attempt at satire of the liberals in California who are trying to pass a bill that would allow the UC to consider race and gender in admission as long as no preference are given. This is basically a way to bring back affirmative action which had been outlawed by a proposition a few year back. Now I don't understand this bill since logically if you do not given preference to a gender or a race, then why do you consider gender or race? The liberals respond to the sale by lying on the ground nearby in protest. It seems to me that neither side are too bright. Let me explain why.
It is obvious that the Republicans think that the group most discriminated against if there was affirmative action would be white males because they would have to pay more than anyone else. It seems to me either these Republicans have not done their research or they are mostly white males. At Berkeley there are more Asians than whites and more females than males. It is also true that Asian applicants, especially the females, have the highest GPA. So if there is less emphasis on grades and SAT, then the group that would lose out the most will be Asian females. So to say that Asians and especially Asian females have an advantage over white males is absurd.
The price structure of the bake sale shows that the Republicans are not very good business people. If a Native American female comes by, she can "buy" all the bake goods for nothing. Now the liberals are not so smart either since they could have used this tactic and make the Republicans bankrupt right away. But instead they make fools of themselves by lying on the ground. So I am thinking maybe Berkeley people are not all that smart. Weren't the hikers that wandered into Iran from Berkeley? Talk about no common sense!

My immediate thought was to have someone of Native American descent buy out the supply and therefore screw the Republican club.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they would have limited the amount one person could buy. Also, if you're a Native American woman, do you get the stuff free?
Though I assume that there aren't many Native Americans, Blacks and Latinos at Cal, though I could be wrong. I'm sure the football and basketball team is comprised of higher percentage of blacks.
As for the liberals who layed down, what was the point of doing so? Seems pretty useless and stupid to me.
Do you think that those hikers were really lost or could they have been spies this whole time? I mean, if you're hiking anywhere near the Iranian border, wouldn't you try to stay as far away as possible? I mean, if you're on the west side of the boarder, wouldn't you not go east then? If they weren't spies, they kind of deserved being detained. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for them and their family, but people need to use common sense when you're hiking so close to the boarder of a hostile country.
Same goes for those missionaries who were captured last year. You want to spread the word of God in a hostile country? Then you should expect to be captured.
Speaking of common sense, how about those people that go out to ice fish when it's 50 degrees out and then they have to call the police to come rescue them? Crazy.
