Yes because 90% of the population is clearly black engineers, doctors, scientists, etc. and the only reason they're not being hired is because they're black and there's some racist conspiracy going on and not because these people don't actually exist. You can't just "will" a skilled professional into existence.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoIf, as you claim, black doctors, engineers and scientists do not exist in South Africa and the country is > 90% black, then clearly that is a problem for the country as a whole, and fixing it will improve life for everyone. One supply-side fix for that is to send more people to school to learn these skills. One demand-side fix for that is to make sure that the people who have those skills get jobs. I can well imagine, that after decades of being systematically excluded from these positions, the transition will be hard. Unlike you, I'm not rushing to blame the current government for the impact of decisions that were made many years ago.
- laichzeit0 11y agoWhat you are describing is racism. You're dressing it up in a way that makes it justifiable. What you are suggesting is no better than the architects of apartheid. Good luck building a non-racist society based on selective-racism as the driving force to "fix it". You can try to rationalize it any way you want.
