Agreed. This is the fundamental flaw with the affirmative action and other diversity advocates.
Artificially increasing diversity is institutional racism which only serves to mitigate a symptom, not eliminate a cause. Rather than forcibly put more minorities through college, we should improve schools in poor and underprivileged neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, this real solution may take 10 to 20 years to see results... which is far shorter than the average term in public office.
- sketerpot 18y agoSchools can only do so much. If by putting more minorities through college you can increase the average level of education among minority parents (when those students have kids), you may be able to improve their kids' educations as a side-effect.
- snprbob86 18y agoI'd much prefer that everyone get a proper primary education than a few people struggle through a secondary education to bet on their children.
