You left out sex-based advancement in the workplace, for DIVERSITY.
I recall we had only two blacks who were also both SFC’s in my SF unit in Vietnam. They were damn good recon team leaders. One was shot/stitched from one upper arm /shoulder to the other with an AK. He and I were in private rooms at Womack Army Hospital, FT Bragg. His wife had to feed him as he lost the use of both arms. SFC Little had ordered the white SGT E-5 to leave him in Cambodia. The young E-5 did a helluva job getting him out.
The black grievance industry has squandered 50 years of affirmative action by stressing victimhood over taking advantage of opportunity.
The rest of the country is fed up with the whining and excuses.
Well this is about admissions but what you describe is under the greater umbrella of Affirm. Act.. STEM fields admissions of today are all about sex based admissions. That constitutes the majority of affirmative action admittances at most universities.
“14 years. Glad to see this case was settled so quickly.”
I’m guessing for 8 of those years...
...the case file collected dust...while languishing in a file drawer...in an unused file cabinet...in a dingy, unlit storage room...in a building slated for demolition...across town from the Education Department’s main office.
The rest of the country is fed up with the whining and excuses.
By now quotas have done all the good they are ever going to do.What remains for quotas to accomplish now is all bad.
I read the LSAT “study” book. Hardly challenging! IT IS a license to steal...
Seriously? The only way Jews, as a demographic, are going to vote for Trump is if he turns hard left before 2020. Jews, as a demographic, in their voting habits, are hard wired wrong.
It's not racism. It's common sense. Why take the risk when it comes to one's (or, one's family's) personal health?
As we should all race based preferential treatment of blax. Seriously, if they haven't leveled the playing field yet, then it's obvious they're not even in the game.
Yet, in spite of the obvious, the 2020 pimps running for office in the liberal camp are even trying to entice the Entitlement Crowd with hints of reparations.
Since race and sex are up to the determination of the individual, anybody is eligible to apply as a minority. If Alan Bakke had only imagined this tactic...
I wonder how Gosnell got through medical school?
“Dear colleague,”
I said, “ought to” in the sense of “a rational person would realize he’s acting in their interest” in an ideal world.
I have Jews in my extended family, and I’d say 75 or 80% will mindlessly pull the “D” lever, even though Tlaib, AOC, and Omar are perfectly representative Democrats.
“Well that’s good but the elephant in the room is sex based admissions.”
Why? On the form where it says sex you just put: it depends.
It also guarantees less favoritism
I like it! Every guy applying to MIT engineering should put “ I feel pink!”.
I lost 2 different promotions during my highest working years. In both cases, the person who got the position thru Affirmative Action could not & DID NOT do the job worth a hoot. I m talking about accounting. They didn’t know accounting, didn’t have any math skills, and were unable to work without minute by minute supervision and glorious support.
After the 2nd one happened—I quit my job. Enough! I took another job for less money, but for more future promotion. It took 2 1/2 people to do the basics of my desk, and all the special reports I prepared were no long being done.
I finally went out on my own in 1980, doing bookkeeping for small businesses, and doing all the work myself. I still have one client-—and have done his bookkeeping for over 49 years.
Affirmative Action hiring has been a joke since the first day it was implemented. I was raised on MERIT grading in schools, and on MERIT promotions for doing a good job. I have learned to totally hate anyone associated with Affirmative Action Hiring. Take that last sentence any way you wish.
The military academies use race. Here is an admissions board member at one academy.
