    She likely doesn't know what a student loan is, her handlers wanted this on behalf of their monied interests. This regime isnt even trying to hide the fact they are out to screw you over. Congrats Midwest for voting the clown show in, come crying back to the polls after your MAGA party hangover when the bill comes due since "nobody cares about you".

    While I don't want any government official to be unsafe, this one still has a degree of WTF?

    Inexperienced, outspoken in denouncing feminism and race-based preferences. Trump and DeVos find the perfect person to head up the Civil Rights office...

    disgraceful. The thing is Republicans often ask why many minorities constantly vote for Democrats despite Democrats seemingly not improving the situation for minorities.

    The thing that is so sad is that Republicans make it so easy for Democrats to gain and hold onto the support of large percentages of minorities. The Democrats don't do much. All they have to do is be less tone-deaf than this. If that's how low Republicans set the bar, they will never significantly improve the amount of support they get from minorities.

    When this is what the GOP puts forward, it's not that minorities are being duped by Democrats, or aren't questioning what is actually being done by Democrats. It's simply that the Democrats aren't doing things as ignorant as this. If that's all they have to do, the GOP can kiss off any idea of making inroads into the support of most minority groups.

    So it's not possible to face discrimination for being white?

    Liberal hypocrisy.

    Because she couldn't be in a minority-based study group at Stanford. She claimed that it was the one where she most fit. Yeah, I buy that and not that she wanted something for another one of her anti-race-based program articles.

    Hard being white in America....lack of personal responsibility has shaved off several years of middle aged white males' life expectancy.

    I often faced discrimination for being white. On the local blacktops, I had a real hard time getting takers when I was running around, "You got next? Can I run wit' chu? C'mon, I can shoot." Of course, the prejudice was usually proven when they actually saw me shoot. But, they couldn't have known it at the time; they'd just assume I couldn't play because of the color of my skin.

    Then I went to college and got a great corporate job and make more money than 90% of those guys, I'm sure. So, I'm over it.

    Do I need a ;) ?

    Trying to cover it up by trying to make a joke out of it? Ineffective.

    You're leaning on an argument that "broadly speaking, whites face less discrimination". That's not the point. The point is that people of any race can face discrimination, and that's not right.

    You're likely being discriminated against because of your stupidity, not your race.

    I'll be the bigger man and not stoop to your level and hurl insults. It just shows you can't argue substance.

    I think alcoholism and drug abuse is discriminating against the white man. Sad!
