Whoa, good job OP. Btw, loser much? Get a GF.
Why 2 of You Didn't Get Our Flyout Invitation

I am just about the most diverse person on the planet, but as a white male my diversity counts for nothing; indeed, I am punished for being nondiverse.
As a white male, I am mildly annoyed to be in a profession with racist idiots like you and all the people who gooded you. I am enjoying imagining the brightest one or two of you discovering that OP was trolling and having an uncomfortable moment of personal growth.
The rest are thinking, Well, OK, OP was trolling, but stuff like this really happens all the time! I've heard other stories that I know are real! If I were a black woman I probably would have gotten into MIT!

Tell me, just how believable is it that someone who frequents EJMR would see someone stabbed to death in front of them in school. (This was omitted from your quote.) This is just a stereotype of what goes on in public schools that whatever-you-folks-want-to-be-called (if I give you a name, you will consider it offensive) buy into because they all went to private schools and send their kids to private schools and so assume that daily rapes, murders, etc. are part and parcel of a public school education.

I can't possibly imagine the level of delusion you have to be under to say that what he said was "racist". Are you f**king kidding me? Really? The word has utterly lost any meaning and now covers a spectrum from KKK cross burners to people with completely rational opinions on issues of affirmative action and race.
The OP's (clever and entertaining) real analysis joke doesn't negate the fact that standards are lowered massively for non asian minorities in America. The easiest path through life in America is to be an African American raised in upper middle class culture on the right tail of the IQ bell curve.
For undergraduate admissions the black/asian gap is literally hundreds of f**king SAT points in some cases. That's not ok. It's racist in the legitimate, non Orwellian newspeak sense of the word.

Guys, you are not seeing the beauty of it: schools ask for so much effort and crap so that you can get a job... just do a bit more and you'll get the job (cut your d*ck off and get boobs, or get your face stretched or tan a lot)
I would tan for a month if it makes me diverse and gets me a job rather dan doing another year waiting for publications

What bugs me about this (and I know the OP was joking) is that the Diversity pushers are only interested in bean-counting. As long as they get the right skin color, they don't care about the underlying socio-economic factors that the person has had to deal with.
And as an economist, it bugs me that this argument that we need a critical mass of certain races doesn't provide any mechanisms where it matters, or much empirical support. It was badly exposed at the Supreme Court when the Court seemed unwilling to simply accept it as a matter of faith.

Most of you guys who are complaining about Affirmative Action have no idea what is going on in places where there is no one who can assure equal opportunity for all the applicants. All you have to do is to peruse some low ranked econ departments, and you will see that all the faculty members are white males. Please help me understand how is that possible that the department can not find any qualified non-white candidates?
-
Plenty of potential reasons, sweetie.
-There really are almost no qualified minorities in any given year
-All the qualified minorities are already employed elsewhere
-Qualified minorities did not seriously consider these places because it's not somewhere they would want to livePlease help me understand how is that possible that the department can not find any qualified non-white candidates?

Please note that I used "non-whites" instead of "minorities" for a reason. Most people on this board think that minorities = African-Americans. Now going back to the points you were making, either you live outside of U.S. or you are just trying to make a peace with your mind.

That really isn't that hard for me to believe. At my last place, in the South, the female grad students couldn't make it through class without being harassed.
Girl here, it's also a lot harder when there isn't a woman on the faculty and all the men tell sex jokes in seminars. True story.
