Through no fault of their own, white people now have a harder time getting into universities, medical schools, and even employment compared to a lesser qualified minority. This is terribly regressive, and no doubt a result of leftist pressure.
I'm all for giving everyone a fair chance, but I would never hire someone based on their race. I will pick the best person for the job even if that means having a team composed 100% of white males. And for what it's worth, I'm not even white.
- wahern 9y agoThrough no fault of their own, white people will continue enjoying privileges in many other areas of society. Discrimination, past and present, reverberates in complex ways. I can't say I'm a supporter of race-based affirmative action. OTOH, all of the criticisms ring hollow to me when considering the reality of prejudice in society. Consider a black guy who's never going to college (because reasons), staring at the dimmest of job prospects imaginable; he might just end up being hired as a consequence of a Harvard-educated CEO (black or non-black) being more comfortable hiring him. My sense is that our history of slavery, along w/ countless other aspects of our culture, have left us with a table full of shit sandwiches. Some will taste better than others, but they're all shit. Pointing out that they're shit isn't constructive.
