im just saying its only wild to me if it IS a plus

TheFriendlyLorax

14:05

I think it’s more about the marginalization they can face as a result and how it can inform their perspective, but I digress

tarzacc

14:05

thank you I'm honestly still kinda rattled because this blows up everything ive planned so far. They offered 15k a year which isnt a lot but not nothing

Congrats!!!

yah, why would decades of discrimination need to be addressed in a substantive way thats so crazy, its not like that was something that in that past would have been considered a negative to an application or anything (like classy heron said, context more than a plus)

Mountaineer99

14:06

actually i think it's useful to ensure a class is the optimal level of gay

ValleyH

looool

SameSuperLeopard

14:07

sorry that was such a rude way to say it

Mountaineer99

14:07

i was being a shit and not serious i didn't intend offense

xXxPoonDestroyerxXx

14:07

im just saying in the sense that if u like to fuck butthole instead of vagina or vice versa you could be higher ranked in a holistic soft tier type of way

xXxPoonDestroyerxXx

14:08

not denying the existince of homophobia in the past lmao

Of course, glove. "Just asking questions." (◔_◔)

The "soft tiers" in the form described here are not used by any admissions office, they're based on a reddit post that the author themselves cautions is a very broad way to think about this stuff

WhatItDoBayybeeee

14:09

its literally just try hards trying to come up with new ways of saying who has a strong resume and who doesn't

Mountaineer99

14:09

literally all a resume is is demonstrating your ability to bullshit to make yourself seem impressive

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:09

But I wonder whether there are better ways to address discrimination than to give people who are members of groups that have been discriminated against a boost in admissions to law schools on that basis.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:10

Not saying there is. I just wonder...

WhatItDoBayybeeee

14:10

i mean at this point its human nature to discrimate against people who don't fit the standard

Mountaineer99

14:11

what even is the standard anymore?

jb2028

14:11

I don't think there's a particularly strong case for affirmative action for LGBTQ people in the way there is for affirmative action based on (e.g.) race or first-gen status, you aren't really "born into" being LGBTQ in a way that runs in a family, lines up with geographic inequality (redlining, underfunded schools), etc. But that's not how schools factor LGBTQ status into their admissions anyway.

unless u have the gay gene jb

SameSuperLeopard

14:12

of course there are, but its not one or the other. These identites have historically been discriminated against in academia, and while overt forms are less common today, its still true that covert implicit bias still exists. Affirmative action is a safeguard against that. and i personally think its very important, but ill leave it at that. Tis my opinion

jb2028

It's more of a "this is something about a person that might be tied to disadvantages they've overcome, goals they have within the law, etc. in a way that's not super common and thus valued by schools"

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

I agree overcoming discrimination of various forms is important. But there are other values, too. And when the value of overcoming discrimination clashes with other values, it's not always obvious the former should win. But 'tis just my opinion.
