Sounds logical.

Show me where I said she didn't get in because of affirmative action? I simply said I can see why she's frustrated. I didn't know about the whole 10% rule, I wasn't familiar with that whole thing so I can see why her frustrations are misplaced. My affirmative action comment isn't directed at this particular situation. I just think it's a load of ********. If you get into a specific college, it should be because you EARNED and WORKED your way there, not because of some stupid rule that gives preference to certain people that just happened to be born in a particular race.
