It's a reference to South Park and Al Gore. There's some episodes where half of the story revolves around which order the 3 halves should go in.
I don't watch South Park.

Do you have kids? those lil crackers wont be able to get into university when they're older if Labour/Lib dems have their way. What kind of future do they have when you support racism towards your own kind.
Zimbabwe is not the United States. I suggest you look up the difference.
Perhaps you are suggesting that "Positive Discrimination" is different in other parts of the World?
"Cake" and "eat it" comes to mind.
You either think people should get ahead on merit, or you think people should be given an advantage due to their colour. Which is it?
Positive discrimination is still discrimination & should be opposed (along with the usual forms of discrimination such as racism and sexism).
Agreed, but I think that change would naturally come by breaking down the divide amplified by economic situatio.I agree, although in the United States there is an inherent racism throughout society which will take some effort to address at all levels.
As I have said, I agree with some policies and not others.
So, as I have said, "cake" and "eat it".

That's an extremely simplistic and inappropriate comparison to make.
Quite, it would seem that a basic lack of understanding on the part of Gepetto is the issue here.

Have you actually read the "comparison" you are referring to? Simplistic? Yes. Inappropriate? Why?
Yes, I've read through the matter at hand. Castiel was identifying a case in which positive discrimination would be beneficient if handled correctly and enacted over a short-term period, i.e. to hasten the abolition of disparity between two formerly inequal groups. You likened it to Zimbabwe, a situation so far removed from such a consideration that bringing it up in comparison is little short of laughable. It's clear to anybody with half a brain and an assistant to wipe dribble off their chin that Zimbabwe is a prime example of a correction in disparity taken far too far into the other side, through equality to land firmly in discrimination in a different coat. Castiel's point still stands - positive discrimination can, if handled correctly, redress an imbalance much faster than natural progression, though it comes with a much greater risk of forming a more shaky equality than the longer-term option - as would be expected. Having an opinion on how such a situation is handled and agreeing only with some policies rather than all of them is hardly the same as wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Thus, simplistic and inappropriate.
The native americans could make one sweet profit out of that bake sale, one cake at a time!!
My faith in people's capacity to understand is restored.
