Affirmative action policies perpetuate the idea that races are different. They reinforce the fallacy that minorities are lesser than whites and the only reason they need this non-white person here is to fulfill a quota, a statistic, a photo of a diverse student body in an ad.
Spare us your white suburb-boy victimization complex. By the way, check out these numbers from UW-Madison, just out today.
71% of white applicants admitted for Fall 2013. 68% for minority applicants 62% for African-American applicants.
They're not just letting anybody in the door, regardless of what the whiny talk show host is trying to tell you. And given the absurd disparity of opportunities and outcomes that happen in Wisconsin, we are the LAST place that shouldn't be considering "other factors" when it comes to hiring and admitting students.
Keep 'em fighting among themselves and blaming each other so they don't notice how we are screwing them over in every way possible. "Divide and conquer" Scottie the Walker (Wisconsin pedestrian thinker)

Stop whining and do better.
What has affirmative action done for Milwaukee?
ReplyDeleteAffirmative action policies insure that everyone has a fair chance at job whether or not the person hiring has a bias.

ReplyDeleteJake,
ReplyDeleteThose numbers are awesome. Clearly, we no longer can justify affirmative action as a pollicy. Thanks!
