			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/articles.asp?ID=38302">A modest proposal for an immodest proposition</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;d have to admit that at first I thought this was an entirely racist article, but after you read into a bit more, you&#8217;ll find its true meaning.</p>
<p>The article brings up some good points which debunk the necessity for affirmative action, and also sheds light on some of the UC Regeants&#8217; racist and diabolical admission criteria: good grades and academics.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, because the article was directed at Asian-Americans, it included stereotypes that seemed a bit offensive at first.  The Daily Bruin probably should have let an Asian-American writer deliver the article, but then again maybe they didn&#8217;t have one at the time.  Lets face it, there aren&#8217;t many Ed Chiao&#8217;s to go around.  By the way, Happy Birthday Ed Chiao.</p>
<p>Also, for anyone who noticed, I&#8217;ve changed a couple things on this blog.  The name&#8217;s been changed back to just Final8.com, and I&#8217;ve added a section for my <a href="http://www.final8.com/firestarter/?page_id=217">del.icio.us</a> links, and also the oh-so-hip <a href="http://www.final8.com/firestarter/?page_id=219">tag cloud</a>.</p>
<p>Enjoy</p>
