I am always amused when someone who I assume doesn't know anything about URM complains about others not recognizing affirmative action when the two aren't really connected. To quote George Bush "I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them."

I'm amused that you don't realize that descendants of certain immigrant groups benefit from a privilege that shall not be named here.
