My students are racist bitches
Assignment: Take a stand on an ethical position, explain why you believe it, then evaluate how good your reasons are for supporting it. "You can believe true and good things for bad reasons, people."
Response: Affirmative action is bad because it puts totally unqualified minorities in places that could have been filled by qualified members of the racial majority. My evidence that this is true is that there was once this Latina girl in my high school who got in to a private Catholic university. Everyone told her that she only got in because she wasn't white, and she dropped out after a year, so obviously, they were right.
Oh, also the paper claims that we don't need affirmative action because there are no racists left in America. The end.
