So, why did it take ASIANs to derail this? Couldn’t WHITES alone do the job?
Because if WHITES speak up on our own behalf, we are RAYCISS and furthermore made to PAY for it in real ways, like losing jobs. It doesn’t work that way for any other demographic. It is the epitome of PC sainthood to be ANTI-WHITE.
No. Too many liberal, fell-good, guilt ridden idiot whites.
No, whites alone couldn’t have done the job of derailing this. It took the efforts of a minority group to fight this. Because, in this politically correct world we live in, whites are considered racist and all that, only minorities were able to make this happen.
Wow, looking at the stats, Asians are over 40% of the UC students. Yet, if they as a group are the most capable students, and all students compete equally for admittance, then it shouldn’t be a problem.
My stupid question is — how long do we have to deal with affirmative action? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed 50 years ago. That law has been strongly enforced. Nobody under about age 55 or so attended a legally segregated inferior school in this country. These young people coming up today have lived in a world in which they have equal rights, and members of minorities are not discriminated against. If anything, policies such as affirmative action have given a boost to minorities in recent decades.
I’ve always thought that affirmative action should have been a temporary measure, not a permanent racial quota/spoils system.
