Eh, them using "blacks" in the context of making fun of the thought process behind affirmative action doesn't really mean much. It being insensitive and eyebrow raising is the point, as that's how the person sees affirmative action.

I don't care lol. Not only do I disagree with that, the comment was still incredible stupid, inaccurate, and every other aspect of this users behavior in other comments has been embarrassing and shown a clear lack of understanding about Affirmative Action as a concept. Beyond this, they ignored every other aspect of this comment in their reply, which further confirms to me their lack of arguing in good faith.
