"Why does the white student want to get into Kamehameha? Probably so his daddy can bring a big lucrative lawsuit."


Or maybe he saw something in the school curriculum that was not included in, perhaps, the public school. Maybe he wants the same opportunities opened up to him that may be only allowed in the "minority" school. Is that too much to ask?

But since we all know that there are no "all white schools" then he may just have to settle for what the public school has to offer.

Serves the little white boy right, doesn't it, SRS?

"The difference between an all-white school and an all-minority school is usually that the all-white school is discriminating for the wrong reasons."

I like that you put "usually" in there. It gets you off the hook of being stereotypical.

But then, there's this gem.....

"Probably so his daddy can bring a big lucrative lawsuit."


So are you saying that discrimination is ok?

What are the right reasons to discriminate?

I happen to agree that if no federal monies are given to an organization then they can do whatever and include whomever they want.
But to take such a negative tone on the issue (one way or the other) is "probably" why we have such a debate going on in this country today.
