This sucker is absolutely dangerous! Shouldn't be allowed to speak to young people!

Perhaps some do, I worked with two during my working years, well that is all I can think of now. One here in Portland, a woman name Molly Muse, she was rather insufferable and didn't do all that well. She finally quit but I guess she could have been a hit after in her new position.

Then there was a guy at IBM research in the Almaden lab, nothing special there either.

 

The fact is Sly, you are incorrect. She was rejected in 1978 specifically stating the reason why, to meet their diversity goals. Since then due to several discrimination law suites (not all against Stanford) They quit being so explicit even though they continue. They do not see there student enrollment in the same way as state schools. They enroll regional blocks of white kid, more like a bingo draw of qualified applicants.
Then they have ethnic quotas including races, International quotas, each group has it's own qualification parameters.
Stanford can get by with this as can other private schools. They refer to their selection process as, providing a diverse academic environment.

So by the way they do it, Dani did not lose the competition, she just wasn't Lucky in the bingo draw from her regional ethnic bucket. So the system Stanford set up is not fair in the competitive sense, and it is not intended to be. I don't see any reason a private school can not set up their selection process how ever they want to do it. It is fine with me. But they sure as hell said, they rejected her to meet their diversity goals! I don't think they were ever that blunt again after 1978, law suits were filed. However, they still do their selection to meet their diversity goals.

 

I still call bullshit on this. You've told me that story before.

 

Pic or it didn't happen.

 

Fine. Sly joins you.

Ha!

 

I am back down the Multnomah Channel now, tied up at a dock on an Island called Coon Island. Curious name? Anyone have any history on how this Island came to be named?

Sly, you don't even seem to read what I write. I never claimed any racism; discrimination I think, but I also think it is their right if that is the way they want to run the place. I don't blame any black kid for anything. But then I think you knew it, You might even be trolling.

PS, I am telling you and everyone else What Stanford said!! I didn't say it, I am passing it along.

And that will close this issue here.

 

Stanford admitted a whole bunch of white kids who had to pass certain academic standards/tests and a few black kids who did not have to pass the same standards/tests (too stupid or too lazy??) but simply got admitted based solely on their race. Marazul wants to blame Stanford for turning his daughter down, even though she passed their standards/tests, solely because she wasn't black (and presumably not stupid or lazy enough either).

Absolutely racism, and several colleges have recently lost court cases affirming that it is racism.

 

I thought the Raccoon was like the Opossum, migrated here or as ODFW says, and invasive species. But I am wrong, the Raccoon is native here,
even though I don't remember seeing them back in my younger days. Perhaps they had been hunted to the point of being rare. Anyway, it is not such a curious name for the Island after all. There are a lot of them here now, maybe the reason for the name.
