True lol

Although it's an image macro meant to represent a larger idea you typically learn in 1st year university gen ed humanities, along with the sociological data that underpins it. We know the circumstances of your birth predict the course of your life with an outrageous level of statistical strength. Bootstrappers focus on the exceptions and, retardedly, try to build policy around that. Corporations love it. There is a reason life in European and commonwealth countries surpasses life in the US in every sense imaginable except military strength and aggregate wealth held by billionaires.

Every man for himself is what we did from 2million BC to 1215AD and it sucked

Just be brave enough to admit you view society as "Us" and "Others", "Us" for most MAGA's meaning white people like you, and then everyone else. You have no problem helping "Us" because most MAGA's are okay with it as long as it is "voluntary", ie, through a church or a charity, which basically also means only helping people like you. Even though federal government is the same type of social contract at a larger scale, which for neo-confederates, also means you have to listen to those stupid liberals' input.

Statistically and at an aggregate scale, a white applicant likely had every advantage in the world compared to the black applicant. In cases where that wasn't true, adcom's had the ability to detect it, such as looking at the school you went to or other markers. I'm not saying affirmative action was the right choice, I really don't know, I'm talking about equality of opportunity as a concept.

Did you go to a bad school?
