Affirmative Action


College, college

It's the buzz

The only thing people have talked about for the past few months

But there's an issue, I'd like to raise

All about the Affirmative Action praise

So I'm not racist, if that's what you think

I just want a fair a chance for all who deserve it.

This modern society's all about equality 

But yet,

Universities are permitted to choose based on ethnicity 

But wait, I thought nothing was based on skin color?

Now don't get me wrong, I support those who qualify above me 

But I'd rather not be turned away 

Only because I'm a Caucasian female.
