Why do you think we got protests like: https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2017/10/09/cornell-students-revive-debate-whom-colleges-should-count-black
Because the slave descendant group got pissed off that the overwhelming majority of Black Students at the best colleges in America are first or second generation immigrants
because racists are idiots?
This group is literally trying to argue that black immigrants experience racism differently. Like fucking really? Like what, you think the racist cop is gunna go “hold on, before I arrest you are you Nigerian?”
It’s beyond idiotic
well... they do experience racism differently
“Racism is institutional” “you can’t experience institutional racism if you’re the child of a black immigrant”
they don't get called an "uncle tom" or other slurs by racist idiots just because they are good at something
.....really? You actually think the institution gives a flying fuck where you’re from
no
racist idiots do
Yep
and there is no institutional racism that disadvantages black people... if anything its the opposite
then again, i consider affirmative action as inherently racist/sexist
I mean, as I said above, affirmative action is the textbook definition of a racist law
it also hurts people that are supposed to profit from it
It is a law that effects you solely based on your race, ethnicity, sex, & religion. It’s textbook discrimination
it is
People forget that discrimination can be both positive and negative
it always has negative effects on someone else
It can 100% effect people positively
That doesn’t make it right
if you have 100 spots to fill and "positively discriminate" against someone that only means that someone else who is more deserving gets left out
But that’s assuming a zero sum scenario.
is there ever a scenario that is not zero sum where affirmative action is applied?
If an employer decides it’s February so I’m going to give a $100 bonus out of pocket to all my black employees for black history month or some shit that’s a positive discriminatory act. No nonblack employees are hurt by you doing this
That doesn’t make it not discriminatory though
thats extremely discriminatory
Any form of positive discrimination inherently contains negative discrimination.
And vice versa.
also... even the people "profiting" from affirmative action are actually hurt by it... by the existence because it discourages them from being "their best" and everyone who gets hired has to work against the stigma of possibly being a "diversity hire"
any form of discrimination is discrimination, it literally means to make a difference
deller, that example is not affirmative action 😉
No, but it’s positive discrimination
There is no positive affirmative action
but i could construe the negative effect of it if you want me to 😄
Affirmative action just sucks
yip
on every level
