    Don't know if Milk was a racist or not but he was gay and a pedophile.

    We were talking about Cal Poly SLO and their efforts to increase ethnic diversity. I'll take the win even if you dont admit it you were wrong, but if you admit you will probably feel like a good person. Try it.

    If being fully staffed is 50 employees, then to hire 10 Asians would require the release of 10 Whites. Same for the college. Their 30 page plan does not call for an increased student population; therefore, their plan requires a sharp reduction in White student acceptance.

    Over recent years, numerous programs and initiatives have been implemented to improve diversity and create a campus community that more closely reflects the demographics of the state of California. In 2011, the campus was 63 percent Caucasian; in fall of 2017, it was less than 55 percent. Applications from underrepresented minority students doubled between 2008 and 2018, while overall applications during that time increased by just half that much. Progress is being made — and the university is more diverse now than at any time in its 117-year history — but there is still much work to do.

    https://content-calpoly-edu.s3.amazonaws.com/diversity/1/images/Diversity Action Initiatives Final 6-7-18_#2.pdf

    The key part of the report is missing from the OP's quote. Minority applicants nearly doubled but the percentage of minority students only increased by 8% during the ten-year period because California banned Affirmative Action at public universities in 1998. The College Fix is a libertarian-leaning online newspaper and many of its articles are misleading.

    We have never spoken. At best we have discussed via a few cursory message board posts.

    California has tremendous diversity.

    But the state (through sanctioned racism)

    has decided its local "college" somehow knows whats best.

    The "college" is staffed by children and leftists.

    You can see how things are going.

    Drop the racism bro.

    Cal Poly made this statement.

    “In 2011, the campus was 63 percent Caucasian,” the May 2 report informs readers, “in fall of 2017, it was less than 55 percent … but there is still much work to do.”

    In Cal Poly's 30 page report on diversification, they do not call for an increased student enrollment, so in order to obtain the goal of a lesser White percentage, they must reduce the number of Whites on campus. Surely you can handle simple mathematics.

    Wonder how this other UC campus gets by with bragging about their diversity when they only have 13% White students.

    It isn’t libertarian site, if it was the article would not have been spinning a narrative but only simply listing facts. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment. The Republican and Democrat parties do not believe in free thought — they demand complete dependence and zero critical thought.

    I bet your reference to Harvey went over their heads.

    Agree you are poly SLO, but you don't seem to understand how increasing one thing, decreases another-particularly in a constrained parameter like the UC enrollment capacity.

    I was UC in the 90's. It all gone now. And it was apparently gone by the 80's, from people who know.

    I consider myself an independent with libertarian leanings. In the heat and dust of California today, that means conservative.

    What is your party?

    Who were the last 3 Presidents, state governors, senators, local congressmen, and local sheriffs you supported.

    This will tell us things, won't it?

    Absolutely wrong. In your example, no decision is being made.

    "Because you have dark skin, you don't need as strong of a sunscreen"......what decision was made there? It's nothing more than a fact that's being stated.

    If you make a decision because of race, yea it's racist.

    Good try though.

    I honestly don’t feel I have a party, I am heavily conservative in some areas, highly liberal in others. In most areas I believe in maximizing both personal freedom while at the same time lifting all Americans up.
    Strongly against illegal immigration (and birthright citizenship to children of non citizens), excessive defense budgets, lack of governmental accountability and subsidies to private companies.
    Strongly for equal treatment of all, public healthcare, lower taxes by creating efficient programs and strong environmental and consumer protections.

    Last three presidents or terms? If by Presidents, meaning 18 years I have voted Republican once, Democrat twice and independent twice.

    Governors have been split and Congressmen have heavily favored Republican.

    Both parties have been taken over by fringe ideals that believe there is no middle ground, that the other side is stupid - wrong - evil - or a combination of the three.
    They are willing to do anything to secure a win and hold it.
    Both are morally bankrupt.

    Our entire election system needs to change to correct this.

    Of course it did.

    They associate milk with the KKK because that was in the html script that was most recently uploaded into the hive mind.

    Come to think of it, being Conservative is also racist (slave masters, segregation, etc). ;)

    The quote is fine. Using it and it alone all the time with no other context or no attempt to look at other things said by MLK is not fine.

    So, since South Africa was mostly black during apartheid, that means it wasn't racist.

    So college applicants are asked what their race is? Surely you can't be serious.

    How idiotic.

    So you have two applicants:

    1) high school GPA 3.8, SAT verbal 650, SAT math 670, and either white or Asian.

    2) high school GPA 3.0, SAT verbal 570, SAT math 590, and either black or Hispanic.

    Do you take applicant #2 because you want to get the number of whites at the school under 50%?

    If so, you're an idiot and a liberal.

    Shouldn't tests and grades be the requirement to get into universities, not race?

    You know there are black students who have 3.8 GPAs and high SAT scores.

    With that said if all things are equal who goes?

    Huh? There was a decision. Whether to put on more sunscreen.

    Nope. You're not a racist because you decide someone doesn't need sunscreen because they have dark skin.

    You too.

    No, that's a line we like to use when blacks are judging people by the color of their skin. One of the greatest heroes in the black community died after those words and his people have reverted back to judging people by the color of their skin. King would not be proud of most of y'all, Mic.
