When any system gives preference to an identity it's expected behavior to attempt to pass as a carrier of said identity. It does not matter what the identity is.
- hasmolo 5y agoi can understand how you'd feel that way. i'm addressing this: > It's ironic how "positive discrimination" produces incentives that make life of minorities worse and now you're saying: > When any system gives preference to an identity it's expected behavior to attempt to pass as a carrier of said identity. It does not matter what the identity is. this is where we disagree, you are implying that people using a lie about race is 'harming' minorities here, but it isn't. some people are taking advantage of it, but the hyper majority aren't. i think our core difference is this: i don't think the people here abusing the system are actually having a meaningful impact or harm on those that this program actually helps. i think that acting like that's the case to remove this condition is the more long term harmful effect. in the end we disagree on the impact of the people abusing this system, and i don't imagine we will be able to agree on this, but i appreciate the perspective you've given me.
