The only people who want to get rid of affirmative action is whites. Do some research on why affirmative action was established in the first place *sipstea* believe it or not but a lot of institutions still discriminate against POC. Like I remember seeing a stat saying that if you have a "ethnic" name you're less likely to get hired for a job. Also legacy admissions are a thing too. I'm glad AA is here to stay, everyday the people are looking for new loopholes and ways to lowkey oppress POC
Here is some cringy comments by white people on MSN
Quote:
It is now the law of the land.
It legal to descriminate against whites in America, even if they are a minority.
All other races are a "Protected" class
Quote:
Definition of Affirmative Action: when a black doesn't have the brain power to get into college, their skin makes up for their intellectual deficiency
Quote:
know I will probably get flak for stating my opinion but, no one should be allowed to get anything based on their race, things should be based off of merit. It is beyond time for things like this to be abolished. Giving someone a job or entry into school, etc...based on their race is just as racist as not doing so. The person that is the best qualified should always be the person choosen regardless of race. It is laws like these that help keep hate and race relations problematic.
so AA is causing racism

Affirmative action = legal discrimination against whites. if whites were to organize and help their own we would be called racist. white is the only race you can discriminate against
Quote:
The "Equal Rights" of the people , ONLY apply if you are non white.
If you are white , then it defaults to the non racist, "white privilege" mode.
Many years ago a friend was unrelentingly pushing his tween son to work hard and be the best at whatever he was doing to the point where I thought he was not allowing his son to enjoy being a kid, so I asked him about it. He said "My son is a white blue-eyed blond male. Everything in this country, from our laws, policies, programs and perceptions will be going against him. He has to be the best to gain an advantage over that." How prophetic.
girl some white people literally think their oppressed and have amnesia when it comes to anything pre civil rights era and the affects of it, they say the only racism in this country is racism against white people
