You know what happens when you assume...don't you? I would expect this sort of ignorance and stupidity on the ibanking board--but the law board--DAMN! |

Yes, you usually make the correct assumption if the assumption is made on statistical odds.
I said I assume that black people at top law schools and good BIGLAW jobs got where they were on affirmative action.
It's a fact that it's a heckuva lot easier for a black guy to get into a BIGLAW feeder school than it is for a white. It's also a fact that BIGLAW goes out of its way to hire black associates.
Therefore it would be ignorant and stupid to assume that the black got there on the merit of his undergraduate grades and LSAT score and law school grades the way the white guy did.
I am certainly not ignorant and stupid. Not any more. It was ignorant and stupid of me to go to law school in the first place, but that's back when I was young and ignorant and stupid.
