and promoted sexism, twice.
affirmative action is wrong. always. that's the reason racism/sexism/etc exist in the first place.
everyone who feels superior donating to those causes are misguided egoistics.
- jaibot 14y agoThat's just wrong as a matter of historical fact. I feel fairly confident in asserting that race-based slavery constitutes a form of racism, and predates affirmative action by several centuries. This is...almost certainly trolling, right?

- pekk 14y agoAffirmative action is not the reason racism exists. For example, slavery was a violently institutionalized form of racism. I am pretty sure slavery did not begin due to affirmative action.
