That’s just ridiculous. The current test score requirement is not some perfect magical number. Advocating changing it is not necessarily racist. Maybe another number will result in a better outcome for the local population. That would also result in “correct” representation, since kids would still get there based on their own merit – it would just be a different mix. I think the new mix is slightly better than the old mix, but it could still be improved a lot. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > It’s been established elsewhere that you wouldn’t recognize racism if it lived right next door to you in quaint little Shittington-By-The-Water, asshole. You asserting something based on zero evidence does not mean it’s established. What do you think of the ‘school thing’? Back when tests favoured white students, school boards loved them, but now that tests favour Asian students, the school boards are embracing lotteries. Totally coincidental, right? ---

We used to have a thread about ‘regular’ Dopers who would occasionally go off the deep end, but I guess it got lost in the Board shift. This is more suited for that thread, but here goes: Anyway, when I read the [following](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-american-coup-11-9-2020/925182/3019) in response to [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-american-coup-11-9-2020/925182/3010) and [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-american-coup-11-9-2020/925182/3018) I was like ‘WTF’, but when I saw it came from our staff ‘Republicans are fighting the coup, really guys!’ poster Deeg (who has spent the past month denying the obvious) I was like ‘lol’. ---

You know, looking at his posting history, Manwich’s radicalization obviously occured in the 6 year gap between 2014 and 2020, where a typical Doper sci-fi nerd who played Mafia in the Game Room turned into an America (especially Biden) bashing Leftist: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50850666638_37ba3e57cd_b.jpg "2021-01-18\_09-41-57") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50850666638/) What is not really explained, however, is the rather obvious shift in writing styles. 2012 Manwich writes like a typical educated Aussie, with complete sentences and a consistent stream of thought: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50851498282_c07b139f34_b.jpg "2021-01-18\_09-50-46") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50851498282/) [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50850690078_5c68f28bf9_b.jpg "2021-01-18\_09-54-07") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50850690078/) Now? His tone is completely different, going from 2012’s matter-of-fact regular guy to 2020 Asshole of the Day: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50851514612_94b221d6f2_b.jpg "2021-01-18\_10-00-19") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50851514612/) [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50850708633_98dce178ac_b.jpg "2021-01-18\_10-05-17") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50850708633/) I mean, dipshits gotta dipshit, but did he have to come back _here_? ---
