...their time but also draw attention away from the real, subtle problems of discrimination inherent in our universities and other aspects of our society. Such persons make the same faulty and dangerous assumptions as do Harvard University and persons like William Pao, who believe that the absence of specifically anti-minority policies amounts to an absolution from the charge of discrimination. University policies such as admissions preference to "legacies" are not targeted against any group, but by favoring wealthy white Americans, they are obviously a de facto form of discrimination, and one which discriminated not only against Asian-Americans...
...which Castro mediated a dispute between Noriega and the leaders of a major Colombian drug cartel. According to Blandon, as well as U.S. Customs investigators, Noriega has supplied Cuba with U.S. intelligence and high-technology goods.

Farias also notes that Heidegger went out of his way to praise Hitler to his colleagues and failed even after the war to criticize Nazi atrocities and genocide...
...sense, the debate over whether quotas exist limiting Asian-American enrollment at leading universities nationwide has been misguided. While no one suggests that there is no anti-Asian discrimination, the idea of admissions offices at America's top colleges posting specific limits on the number of minorities they admit seems unlikely. This does not deny that racial discrimination exists; it only asserts that institutions which claim to shape a free, educated, and democratic society cannot afford to show bias so crudely...
