i just got accepted into a university with lower grades than required due to 'affirmative action'
i've always been totally against diversity quotas and the like so i'm feeling very conflicted at the moment
i'm thinking of asking to opt out of their 'wider participation' scheme that involves extra support assuming I'm incapable of functioning independently which is demeaning as fuck but i feel like i'll just be shooting myself in the foot
considering i've already gone against my beliefs by accepting the offer, should i just accept my fate as being an example of the very thing i oppose but still benefit or should i draw the line and opt out?
what do?

Take advantage of what you can while you can.
I remember my face palming so fucking hard when I read a friend's undergrad essay and he literally started his it with:
"Born in Baghdad, Iraq"
Which is technically true... but that's because his parents were on vacation trying convincing his grandmother to come with them back to the states... so he was pretty much on a plane back to the states as soon they could. He milked the shit out of that.... But he also put in hard work.
Fast forward 7 years later, he's graduated with his PhD in Pharmacy (and retardedly thinking of going back for a MD).
Doesn't matter how you get your foot in the door, what matters is what you do after.

White people get in all the time by bribing admissions people or because of "muh family legacy at this school" which only benefits whites since many universities historically denied blacks admission no matter how smart they were.
Wait until you start looking for internships and see all the white kids get positions with their dad's or uncle's businesses and you're left fighting for scraps because you don't know anyone.

White guy of similar opinions here. In cases like yours I would say go with the flow. It's not your fault the system is fucked and you gotta look out for number one, my man. I had to do a lot of bullshit I didn't like to get through university but I make a lot more money for it. Just keep your head down and turn a profit off these whiny fucks who think you're incapable of doing anything on your own merit. Prove them wrong.

Maybe you're talking about rich whites. As a poor white I can assure you the experience is very different. No one gives a fuck about you and you don't have the money to just deal with it.

You sound like a person with principles. Make it a matter of principle to do so well in uni that you are clearly no charity case and deserve to be there.
