    I was completely accurate. The words honky and cracker are almost never used in conjunction with violence.

    Very clever deflecting from the main issue of discrimination. Geez you do have these Democrat talking point on the mind, like the minimum wage fixes all ills.

    Btw, it was a long time ago, but they still do that shit. Discriminate against Caucasian kids that is. I wonder if that was the exception to dviss' judgement of "Bad".

    umm, as I recall, the fellow that threaten to cut me from pecker to chin used the honky word in his address. Some others to be sure.
    I think you may be over stating your knowledge of reality.

    I think that is 1 time out of millions the word has been used. Maybe billions. There haven't been billions of threats.

    No they don't.

    Lets break this down...

    Stanford admits 2,100 students a year.

    They have 45,000 applicants.

    That means they have a 5% acceptance rate.

    Of the 2,100 43% are white kids.

    And 8% are black kids.

    905 white kids were accepted over your daughter.

    Only 165 black kids were.

    How is that discrimination?

    If your daughter didn't make it in the top 905 you're telling me for a fact that she would have made it in the top 1070? Out of 45,000?

    Even if Stanford accepted only white kids that still doesn't guarantee your daughter admission. It's still a 5% acceptance rate.

    It wasn't the black students she was measured against it was the white students. For whatever reason Stanford choose different white people than your daughter.

    That's not discrimination.

    They discriminate against the 45,000 minus 2,000 students.

    Oh come on Sly!
    I am not speculating here, I am stating what happened. She was very well qualified as the Valedictorian of one of the top High Schools in the State, Monta Vista. She had a 4.0 GPA and top scores on all tests.
    I am stating what Stanford University said in the rejection letter. Even though you have outstanding qualifications, we regret ... to meet our diversity goals.

    "she would have made it in the top 1070? Out of 45,000? "
    Fucking A!

    Now please don't tell me it did not happen.

    58% of Stanford applicants had a 4.0 GPA.

    I don't doubt it. I did recruiting for the company three different years there. I could just about guess that number.

    Let us cut the chase here. Are you going to tell me, we (she) did not get this letter from Stanford stating it was to meet diversity goals?

    Actually, I think most of the ones that get rejected have been done a service. My daughter went to Cal instead and the bill was no where near
    the bill for Stanford.

    No, I don't have access to your daughter's mail.

    Here is a link to some Stanford rejection letters, of the 4 that I've read none say anything about race.

    https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...g..0.11.891.DscpSvCT6Vg#imgrc=HuNScCJM1De76M:

    I will state my point again, your daughter wasn't denied admission because of 168 black people, she was denied admission because Stanford for whatever reason thought 905 white people were a better fit.

    Bull shit Sly, you are being obtuse now and I am quite sure you know it. You do not use the word "diversity" in the reason for rejection when selecting other Caucasians.

    Maybe. Cal is pretty well known for certain schooling subjects too.

    Did she ask what kind of diversity they were looking for? Maybe that year they had a flood of applicants from small pacific coastal towns and were looking for more white people from east coast big cities?
