So you’re an asshole if you think critically and notice obvious patterns? At Stanford in the mid-90s it was quite apparent to anyone with a head not buried in the sand, that certain groups of minorities performed at drastically lower levels than their peers. Any rational observer who was aware that the school preferred to admit applicants with brown skin, and then detected the obvious pattern of low performance in those groups, was not necessarily an asshole for noticing that. Christ, this observation was not even lost on those members of that group in fact. Observing reality is never wrong.
