The left just hates Asian Americans! Admit it already. 🙄
But think of the sports teams! 😆 🤣 😂
Title IX would also need to be considered too.
I'm not sure why so many people think in a black and white manner. Affirmative action is necessary!
Racial discrimination is wrong until it runs against Democrat interests. Then it becomes "diversity."
In Compton, Oakland California, more black taxes Fund Oakland Police D. — or– – in U.S.A. More Blacks, Hispanics, Europeans, Arabs, Indians, etc Fund & hold up public or University Ivy League Endowments. But, relatively speaking – these Universities must place only CCP Asians in the Institutions funded by mostly others?
If the blacks and Mexicans want to get into top tier colleges, they should have higher test scores. Why is it ok to discriminate against Asians who achieve higher scores? Dismantle affirmative action!
Magaranaayo luuqada wax walba iga go waxan doonan waxan cuno raadsan ilaa etoobiya 10 casho dabadeed ayaan inila soo xidhiidhi dhintay
It's not the role of Government to decide which of us us more equal than the other..thst..by the wsy..IS RACIST
Our unique genetic code makes every one of us…DIFFERENT
It's for equality..it was slave owning devil worshippers of the European sect if Masons who said all men are created equal..where in the Bible..ANYWHERE…is the word EQUAL??
Does affirmative action give an advantage to minorities? Yes, that is the point. But these are very modest measures, and calling them "anti-white discrimination" or a "violation of meritocratic principles" is simply hysterical and not reasonable.
Does any one have the right to ask what genetic back ground some one has?? Why does our government demand to know our exact racial mix?? Why do they need to know what makes us different in order to..TREAT US ALL THE SAME????
Cancel stupid examinations.
meritrocracy 👍
affirmative action 👎
I tutored some of these quota kids in college. They couldn’t write a paper to save their lives but graduated with degrees in gender or Black studies.
Want to make it more like america.? Say that to china mexico dom rep india and europe.
You shouldn't have to put race on any apps! You should study and take the tests like everyone else!
elite schools?
Why is it so hard to say it's discrimination against white students…..oh because they don't matter.
Why do we need race consideration for admissions? I think blacks and hispanics should feel offended by saying that they get admission only by affirmative action (AA). If we remove this handholding, maybe they will put more effort and perform better.
Also, for those who think AA is needed for diversity, why dont we have this in sports dominated by blacks? The key is the best race-agnostic student should be admitted. If blacks are good in sports, so be it. If asians are good in engineering, math so be it. The others should compete and not hide behind AA.
Society needs are more important than a single community needs
Tangible reasons why Apple, Google, and other tech companies encourage diversity in their workforce. It's because it generates innovations. The same reasons why Harvard and other colleges do the same. It's not some POC or woke or whatever stupid mouth-breathing republicans are always regurgitating on social media.
I also, remember when these democratic Asian activists tried to downplay their community support for overturning roe vs wade. You know a group of people are privileged when they only fight for their own selfish resources based on peers that only look like them. Thousands of reputable schools but yet they go out of their way to force what to them are the most prestigious. Only about competition and leveraging privileges for themselves to compete. That is what the American Dream means to them. It's all about winning even if it doesn't benefit the school or society just themselves.
What about college sports or NBA or NFL 😂
If they’re going to throw out affirmative action then stop admitting students with rich parents who can donate a building
Elite schools lie when they say they use race to accept disadvantaged students. In places like Harvard Law, basically everyone is rich and all the nonwhite minorities are from the 1% from their own countries. If you want poor students, take poor students. Don't use race as a proxy. You think Obama, Ye's or Will Smith's kids should get a leg up because they are black? Also, Mindy Kaling's brother proved that med schools use race a major factor by applying disguised as a black person and getting into all the schools he got rejected at as an Indian.
Maybe your country could stop sending stupid amounts of money to Ukraine and now Taiwan and spend it on primary and secondary education! (?)
People should have equal rights. There grades should be first consideration.
Video on Race as a variable within higher education… https://youtu.be/wn0O-cPkLCA
By requiring an equally diverse group in college is to avoid discrimination you end up creating another form of discrimination, discrimination against the intelligent who are refused entry because they don't meet the race requirements and would cause the percentage of a certain race to be disproportionate to others that attend.
Admit people based on their Merit not by the color of their skin, if things get less diverse than things get less diverse.
I just saw a YouTube video from PBS where KBJ said that race is one of 40 factors that colleges use to select applicants therefore it’s somehow okay to use it to discriminate. (Paraphrasing of course) Let me be clear here. Any factors where individuals have no choice in the matter, such as in biological gender and phenotype (race), should never be considered as one of the factors of college admissions. Affirmative action is the epitome of systemic racism. If you truly care about helping people then use socio-economic status as the primary factor in terms of selection and financial benefits. By the way PBS, I love that picture of Asians holding pickets showing their support for AA😂. Stop with the gas lighting. No one believes that Asians are pro affirmative action. NO ONE.
Why don't they make the NBA/NFL look more like America also? Where's the diversity?
Justice Sonya mayor : " Race alone doesn't account for why someone's admitted or not"
Me: " Ma'am, race shouldn't be accounted at all"
👆 – FIND YOUR LOVE HERE 👩🍒k😍
Affirmative Action is Institutional Racism. It discriminates against white and asian people and implies that black and brown people are not intelligent enough to compete at the same level. Let's end this racist practice once and for all!
you get in based on your performance knowledge and merit. bottom line
Affirmative Action= I have no qualifications; I don't meet the standard. there for lower it because of my skin color
you people speak of equality yet still use labels for people. is not labeling a form of inequality? once the labels stop this false believe in racism will stop.
Historic injustices require affirmative action! Hispanics are underrepresented in the NBA!
10 losers that it?
Yeah! I would much rather have a surgeon who got into medical school because of his skin color, rather than his academic performance!
About time…
👆 – HOT GIRLS ARE WAITING HERE! 💗💥a🔥
Affirmative Action will be overturned by the extremist illegitimate Republican appointees. Five of them, Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were appointed by "presidents" who lost the popular vote. The other, Clarence Thomas, stormed our capitol with his family. This kangaroo Supreme "court", the super illegitimate majority are the worst justices in American history. They are dishonest, bias, ILLEGITIMATE, corrupt, politicians in robes that take orders from Trump and the RNC. Trump has told people he already called his "justices" to eliminate Affirmative Action. And they will.
