Supreme Court poised to eliminate racial discrimination/affirmative action

[Dunraven]

It should be laughable to hear so-called 'intellectuals' argue that racial discrimination is good and essential to a healthy society, until you realize they're serious: We must discriminate against the most capable individuals, so that we can continue to curry favor(votes) with incompetent minorities.

How do you think the 2 affirmative action SC appointees will vote?

 

[ggmanning]

No doubt in my mind. As well as the liberal members. My alma mater UNC argues that race only affects 1.2% of admissions and is a moot point. Anybody that has been in a college classroom, up for so called "merit" scholarships or are white and asian know this is complete bullshit. Not to mention the outright blatant "scholarships" based fully on income and race....primarily race and that being black. The joke of these minority affirmitive action plans are that they heavily discriminate against minority Asian and Indian applicants because if they take those that qualify they would fill the vast majority of minority slots and they can't have that.........

All they cry about is equality......well make it equal, take race and gender completely off any application. They don't really want equality, shocker.

You made me think of when Kennedy asks basic law 101 questions to federal judge nominees and they always fail.

SCOTUS should shut down CRT next, but that isn't being taught in schools anyway right? Even though Merrick Garland's SIL made millions off if the program ever public school had to purchase to satisfy federal requirements.

When the true goal is ‘equality of outcome’ you cannot enforce ‘equality of opportunity.’

 

[Darayavaus]

it will never happen, even if SCOTUS rules on it. All the wheels are set in motion for this rollercoaster to hell that our country is now on; it's past the point of no return. we even have companies hiring based on social credit scores now.

 

[Darayavaus]

another example of how our government is out of control and will not be reigned in by anyone: auto manufacturers have been told that by 2025, 30% of their production must be electric vehicles, and by 2030 the federal government does not want ICE cars in production. Are we now a command economy? and the manufacturers are doing it. whatever happened to free enterprise in which entrepreneurs decide what to produce, as judged by the market? no, the government now tells everyone what to do and think. So when it comes to something as important to their control as affirmative action is, just be glad they have not started neutering white male babies at birth ....yet.

I bet piglosi has invested like crazy in "green" energy. Follow the money, there you find most of your motive.

Much like so many other dystopian novels that were written as stark warnings but now seem to be being used as manuals for how to create a nightmare society, Kurt Vonnegut once wrote a dystopian novel warning about the absurdity trying to have equality of outcomes would lead to.
But alas, it might wind up not being just a novel at the rate we are going...

When my son was in college, we could not qualify for low interest loans, but we were straight up told that if everything was equal, but he was a “minority”, we would be in like Flynn. How’s that for white privilege.

 

[Pharmseller]

The NBA should have racial quotas for players as well as playing time. Everyone has to play a minimum of 6 minutes and 20% of the team must be white.

That’s fair.

 

[eca7891]

Hopefully it’s after the election.

 

[mvphilly]

Same shit is being taught at home. Everyone gets a trophy so no need to try and excel when the outcome is predetermined.

 

[HeavyAssault]

Considering Stanford just released some stupid ideology about not using the term American, instead use the term US Citizen.

In one swoop they just removed any racial disparity in our nation. AWESOME!!! Now I can say (while being politically correct), you are not (insert-American) you are just a US Citizen. Mic drop......

 

[Maser]

I don't think getting rid of affirmative action will destroy Leftists as much as getting rid of Roe v Wade did.

That won't fix anything.
What if the applicant has a name like Kwon Lee, Tyshonda Williams, Sunrise Elk, Rashid Jumol and a host of other notable "Race Identifiable" names?
The same shit will continue to happen.

Applicants need to be based on a number and not on sex, skin color, sexual preference and deviancy.

Of course then you have to deal with even and odd numbers...

Surely you don't mean a merit based system ???? Modern civilization would collapse !!

Well, we all know how that works in the corporate world too...

 

[Rthur]

Applications should be devoid of name, sex, "race" and address.
If anyone that reviews the applicants baulks at this suggestion clearly they want to impart their bias.
Only one conclusion can be derived from the current policies.
They would like to create racial strife between those who look different.

Well, I now identify as Tylenol M’Fume and want into Harvard Law School.

I will light that place up!

Higher education is an easy fix. All applications are anonymous with the only things being evaluated are GPA, SAT/ACT. No legacy admissions, no sports admissions, no exceptions. Problem solved.

Sure the top tier schools would become 80% Asian and 99% male but but there would be no doubt that they actually deserved to be there. We can't have this because progressives have no interest in equality, they want their own special blend of racism and sexism.

 

[UKDslayer]

Sure the top tier schools would become ... and 99% male

Misogynistic much? In my med school school class two out of the top three or us were female.

[kthomas]

Stopping racism by using more racism.

Makes a lot of sense....

 

[Franko]

Clueless.

Just a bit of hyperbole. In reality if higher education got rid of the racism and sexism top tier schools would probably be 80-90% male rather than 99% like I posted.

 

[Redmanss]

That would require young men as a whole wanting to attend college. They’re not, and it’s not because they can’t get in, instead as a whole they don’t see as much of a ROI on a 4-year degree as women do.

Still not in touch with reality.

1. At the top 1% of IQ men outnumber women 7 to 1
2. If Harvard's entire incoming class was composed of that top 1% s the incoming class population would be 87.5% male
3. For 2023 Harvard admitted 1666 out of the entire population of potential freshmen (millions of individuals)
4. The 2023 incoming class is 48% male

I sense progressive fuckery...

 

[armorpl8chikn]

For....posterity.
Pay attention folks.

 

[W54/XM-388]

1. At the top 1% of IQ men outnumber women 7 to 1

I'm going to say that trying to use common "IQ tests" to actually say what the actual intelligence difference between males and females is a bad idea.
IQ tests are well known to be heavily slanted towards confirmation bias favouring people of the same cultural upbringing and with similar reference points to those that made the tests & what they think is important (which as always is a very small subset of the wide variety of things people can be intelligent in depending on their upbringing).

yep we travel in and thru WVA a lot, and there are a LOT of very poverty-stricken areas. why shouldn't they get the same access to help and benefits that so-called minorities do.

The ROI for most college aged males is the partying and getting laid...
