Supreme Court accepted Affirmative Action cases

[Aurelius]

Good.

Affirmative action is the greatest example of modern-day systemic racism.

Systemic racism? Talk about white fragility.

Fragility is when people are upset about being discriminated against, apparently.

Oh my goodness, white people have every advantage imaginable. Universities making a small effort to correct for this imbalance isn't discrimination. Mediocre white people need to realize that maybe they aren't qualified instead of crying about affirmative action.

Asians are white?

White adjacent, yes.

Question: What does "white" mean to you?

Asians don’t face the same discrimination as Blacks and Hispanics when it comes to education. That’s just the truth.

Asians face more discrimination than anyone else in higher education. They require higher SATs than any other racial group, including whites, to get admitted to the same colleges.

[Thank you for being a friend...]

As a "white" person (but I identify more as "an American person of Italian ancestry" and I think racial characteristics need to go), I want to be hired as much as anyone else.  Why should me being my skin color keep me from getting into a college or a job?  It's just not fair, and no it does not signal racial acceptance or progress.  Affirmative action for women isn't right either - why should being male keep you from the same job?

So all of this reverse discrimination that goes on is still discrimination in the end.  It's not fairness at all - it doesn't promote multiracial or pluralistic unity... it feeds into resentments, it subjects  non-white people to a narrow-minded view of who they are.

Why would any minority want to get hired just because they were the quota or the minority they wanted?  That's an insult

What discrimination  if any do hispanics face that Asians don't?

There is an argument to be made that affirmative action negatively impacts Asian-Americans, but the idea that it negatively impacts white people is completely ridiculous.

Look at the Bakke case, it negatively affected that guy.

To be fair that case involved quotas, not just affirmative action in general, and since it quotas have been illegal in the United States, so it's not really a factor today.

Good news. Taxpayer dollars should not be funding institutions that discriminate on the basis of race.
