Which data would you prefer to see?

That there is a difference in kind between the affirmative action law of America and the absence of such a thing in France is not quantifiable. It is simply a fact.

I will be happy to provide such data as you would like to see, but it would be well if you would inform me as to what it is you would like me to quantify.

There is no "positive discrimination" in Europe or preferences in France?

"General -- we're part of a world, and this problem is a global problem. Other countries operating under the same equality norm have confronted it.

Do we -- they have rejected what you recited as the ills that follow from this. Should we shut that from our view at all or should we consider what judges in other places have said on this subject?"

Blogging will be light over the weekend. I won’t have much time to blog since I need to step back and devote some concentrated and extended thought to the basic principles that underlie most of what I write here. The Chronicle of Higher Education has just reported that one of the elite schools in France (yes, France!) has instituted an affirmative action program that survived a constitutional challenge in a French court!"

"In 2001, in an attempt to shake off its socially elitist image, Sciences Po started a program of preferential recruitment from high schools in some of France's poorest neighborhoods, populated mainly by North African immigrants...."
