You're conflating opportunity with outcome.
- lexapro 5y agoDiscriminating against a race for generations and then ignoring race in policies is NOT equal opportunity. Both the rules and the starting conditions have to be equal if the goal is equal opportunity.
- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoWhich races are you referring to? I suppose you're referring to the racist caste system in India, right?
- shadowgovt 5y agoWhat is India's approach to this challenge? Do they have something analogous to US affirmative action in universities to encourage historically lower-caste Indians to pursue higher education, or do they approach the issue another way?

- rsfern 5y agoHow would you define opportunity vs outcome in this case? I feel like “admission to an honors program” could be viewed as either, depending on what you’re measuring. For a university with demographic goals, honors program demographic profile is an outcome I guess, but for the students I’d say it’s more of an opportunity.
