It's a rationale for not liking affirmative action, from a female author, recalling the story of someone else selected on merit.
Asserting that anyone who understands affirmative action must like it is begging the question.
- 21echoes 11y agoI did not assert that anyone who understands affirmative action must like it. I pointed out that the author did not grapple with any arguments for affirmative action in the entire piece, so it is unclear if they are aware of arguments in support of it. This is, like, writing 101 -- show that you understand the arguments against your position, and dismantle them within the piece.
