        @USATODAY Considering it often ends up giving preferences to wealthy minorities? Reason enough such preferences are a joke. #TellUSAToday

        @USATODAY @instapundit @USATOpinion MI is so racist it will admit kids based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin?

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion I think it is fair. Why should race give one person an advantage over another? Resume not race.

        @USATODAY @instapundit @USATOpinion Just like CA's Prop. 209, it ends that premeditated government sponsored racial discrimination.

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion if this country could truly select on merits it would be great. But the truth is, racism & sexism are still alive.
