You are referring to Snestorm I assume here? I hope so because if you think that I am a racist you are quite sadly mistaken.Just wanted to clear any confusion if you where referring to me.
Who are you referring to, Sir?
Your post directly after mine.
EDIT: Just saw Anthony W's post, so it's him you were referring to, i assume.

This illustrates why I am against quota rules. To me, it borders, no it oversteps the red line towards racism, and racist segregation in society. Distinctions based on legality, qualification, affordability, okay. But ethnic origin alone?

They should not do this as a reaction to compensate for ethnicity-based quota rules. Instead they should skip quota rules.

there are criterions that should decide whether or not somebody is accepted at university. Intelligence. Compliance with laws, and basic values of the place we talk of. Previous pre-education. Mastery of the language. Generally: competence.

What I can imagine as exclusion criterions, are: lacking qualification, a criminal record that raises doubts over the individual's present state (but do not rule out in general to give somebody a second chance - some deserve it), unbridgable cultural gaps, lacking integration of foreigners and lacking willingness to adapt, a general hostile ideologic background that is incompatible with the community's, ideologies especially of extremist political and religious nature.

Skin colour or gender are none of these criterions. Skin colour and gender alone should neither qualify nor disqualify you.

Again, not all people are equal, and not all people have what it takes, and not all people deserve second or third chances. But skin or hair colour, form of eyes or gender is not what should decide that.
