But why is that? Wouldn’t the right answer be to identify and root out any systematic racism benefitting whites rather than implement explicitly race-based (one might even say “racist”) counter-measures?
- leonidasv 3y agoThe "root" is probably in the police, war on drugs, racist people on positions of power, neglected neighbourhoods, etc. The World has been trying to solve racism for decades now, if it was so easy, we wouldn't be talking about this right now. Affirmative action makes sense because it's a policy that's simple, cheap and fast to implement to counterbalance this. And let's not forget that, in the past, the State legally discriminated against those people and no historical reparation has ever been given to them.
