Racial preferences actually harm those that it intends to help. It may provide access, but at what price. Before racial preferences, if a black, etc. made it in college or the workplace, it was a real resume’ enhancer. People knew you were good. With racial preferences, the assumption is that you were and are not good enough to hack the program without the preference. Not hired for the kind of job that they might be really qualified for and despised by the coworkers if they move up ahead of them. It must not have been for merit. Making it harder for them to lead.
It is the perfect scenario of the Peter Principle
People are “promoted” to the level of their incompetence (or beyond)
And we have all seen it in practice. No matter how low they drop the standards, the failures will far outnumber the “successes”
And in the meantime, Whites and Asians get screwed, esp young one who had nothing to do with any “past discrimination” Their parents have to pay the full bill, to make room for those “diversity scholarships” Which are nothing more than free rides based solely on race
