A view from the UC Berkeley ivory tower

Post lifted from California Conservative

In an interview with the Contra Costa Times, discussing the topic of ending race-based admissions, UC Berkeley’s undergraduate admissions director, Walter Robinson said:-

Like Prop. 209 in California, the decision angered college administrators who believed racial considerations were integral to providing student bodies that represented a state’s diverse population.

“It was like, `Where were you on 9/11?’” Robinson said of the announcement. “It was the same kind of pain. It cut that deep.”

No, Walt. It’s not the “same kind of pain” as 9/11, whereby 3,000 Americans lost their lives in the fiery blaze and collapse of WTC. It’s not like crashing a commercial airplane to everyone’s death. It’s not like the horrors of terrorism. It’s not like the butchery of civilians, the images of which shall forever be imprinted on the minds of all those who saw it. And New York’s skyline will always be a reminder.

Prop. 209 was about ending preferential treatment based on race and gender. Ending reverse discrimination. (The proposition passed with California voters’ approval)

Maybe if there’d been an attack and collapse of the ivory tower in which he dwells, Mr Robinson might understand.

Here’s a pic and a bit of info about ol’ Walt. Not much doubt where he’s coming from, bro. A-ffirmatively particularist.
