A headache. It's a divisive subject, and OP showed his/her biases throughout it. Never should have started it.

But people should not bite on this kind of bullshit by responding either. Just another pointless TLS thread debating URM admissions: divisive, ignorant, uninformative, hypocritical...

Divisive - yes, but only because this is a controversial topic. If you can't handle it, maybe you shouldn't be worthy of a URM boost to begin with. Ignorant - I don't see how using stats to to show how most people don't know what their talking about is "ignorant". Uninformative - probably so, but I enjoyed getting people's takes. Hypocritical - umm :roll:

Yeah, my biases did show, but that still should not take away from what I presented. If you can't look to the merits of the argument, that's on you.

MOD: PLEASE LOCK. I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE HIJACKING THREADS.
