Ban affirmative action. Support equality based on merit.

OldLady, you just said that hiring based upon race is not racist. Literally.

You don't fight racism by instituting racist policies.

Racism involves believing other groups are inferior to yours. It's not a racist policy to break centuries of bigotry by encouraging minorities get a chance.

You can't fight racism with racism. Wake up.

No, they did it.....Affirmative action is racism no matter how much lipstick you put on it...

 

[IM2]

The reality of America shows us that from 1776 until 1965 by written law, race was the factor for everything. 56 years cannot erase the damage caused in 189 years and especially since those laws don't get followed.

“I can say for sure that happens because I did it. Before retirement, I was an Engineer. For the last 20 years of my career, I was a Manager and Director and I hired hundreds of people. I reviewed well over a thousand resumes for all kinds of positions. Everything from Secretaries to Engineering Managers. Both Salary and Hourly. I always culled out the resumes with Black Ethnic names. Never shortlisted anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.”

“Since the Fortune 50 company I worked for had a stupid "affirmative action" hiring policies I never mentioned it to anybody and I always got away with it. A couple of times I was instructed to improve my departmental “diversity" demographics but I always ignored it and never got into any trouble. My stereotype is that anybody with a stupid ghetto Black ethnic name is probably worthless. I could have been wrong a couple of times but I was also probably right 99% of the time.

Glad I did it. I would do it again.”

USMB member Flash, spoken in 2020​

He didn't consider merit and denied people jobs based only on race for 20 years beginning long after Affirmative Action was the law. Flash is not the only white person who has done this. So the OP is bullshit and the dumb ass racist Asian needs to shut his ass repeating right wing names for people. The only professional victims in this country are right wing whites and Asianwannabewhites. These people are full of "woe is me" even though they have been given everything the government has to give.

Yes...it is. It is called racism no matter what the intent....and discriminating against people because people in the past with their same skin color did bad things is called racism....

In the past? Things are better; we are slowly convincing people that a black, a woman, a Latino, a Native American, can do an equally good job as the average white guy. But there are still plenty of people who don't see it and would still not give those people a chance to succeed or fail.

Vop mrs. The glaring point that in many cases people who aren't White don't get the same opportunities as white people.

I agree that formative action is not the right way to go since it just creates a quota system are you have to have X number of minority involvement, but the Opie wants to pretend that everyone has equal opportunity and equal access to things like education and jobs when statistics clearly show that isn't true.

Exactly...the democrat party is keeping Asian Americans out of universities because they score higher and do better than everyone else...that is called racism......and the democrat party is the one doing it...just like all the other racism in the country.

Remember when the US advocated for EXCELLENCE, to be the best in the world? Then, we decided to embrace "equity" so everyone has to be "dumbed down" to the level of the least of us. RIP USA.

It's not in any applications. They tried a study where they mixed up the names on resumes. The "black names" got picked WAY less than the white sounding names. When they swapped the names around and put the white names on the black people's resumes, the white names got picked. It wasn't their skills or their "merit's". The HR staff were picking the applicants they thought were white.
