reverse discrimination
In a recent exam that I took, the proctors announced as part of the exam instructions that "if you are left-handed, we have additional scratch paper for you."
If you're left-handed? If this is how they're trying to make up for years of discrimination against left-handers, might I suggest they pick a different cause to get behind, or at least a different time and place to enforce it? Everyone likes extra scratch paper when taking an exam that requires lots of math calculations. Just because you're left-handed shouldn't give you more of a right to scratch paper. After all, the exam questions are printed on both sides of the booklet, so it's not like the right-side page is blank or something.
Damn southpaws!!
