You said exactly that.
- pas 4y agoWhat I said is not what you claimed I said. I did not say that it's okay, I stated a simple fact, that positive discrimination is discrimination too. Then I tried to explain the likely consequence of one usual version of that, and then I explicitly said that it's not that simple, because looking at ethnic groups and deciding the fate of individuals, just because they belong to that ethnic group, is almost textbook racism, as you also pointed out.
