>Do you think Trump is actually hiring the best people for jobs? Do you think legacy admissions to elite schools is a good idea?...
From an outsider looking in this questions as a statement line where what you're actually implying is that they should choose the lesser evil ...doesn't really work. It's sawing the legs of your high horse.
Chances are they don't think legacy admissions are a grand idea. But chances are they don't view removing something as some core position of your side. So what are you achieving there?
Instead they see perceive the remainder of the admissions partially divided up according to representation to the disadvantage of their respective population group despite little to no perceived involvement of that group in historic privilege or oppressing. Divisions that from an outside looking in the US very much likes to focus on.
Aside from that the reparations talk...doesn't necessarily apply to the person you're responding to and may not be viewed as fair when you're giving their money to someone for what their grand parents might have experienced(yes there are always more recent or longer surviving examples)
>Not sure what you mean by illegal slave labor, but immigration to the United States is overwhelmingly an economic and cultural positive.
A cultural positive is nebulous and the food argument has almost become a meme in the migration discussion where i live.
An economic positive is similarly context bound. Too often when I see this argument used they mean that the population growth maintains gdp growth with no real overall benefit necessarily seen by the person they're responding to.
Or they you mean that those low wage workers with little bargaining power keep prices of various things low for the professional managerial class and such without considering whether the person they're talking to belongs to that group or has close ties to people that do not benefit from this interaction.
