The Best New Argument for Affirmative Action
….
My reply:
When calculating the Hispanic
percentage of the population, do you include the 11 million invaders? Why
aren't these illegals who just crossed the border with their stash at Harvard?
The argument of this article is a bogus one. The reason many Blacks and Hispanics are not at top universities is that they should NOT be there. What have they learned, or failed to learn in their 12 years of schooling? Most cannot compete, and that is why the elite demand affirmative action. Without affirmative action there would be very few Blacks and Hispanics admitted to elite universities because, for whatever reasons, most are not prepared for such stiff competition.

The real losers with affirmative
action are middle class whites. The
elite whites are not harmed by affirmative action. Indeed, when they endorse it, they can win
awards and praise from the media, academics, and the other millionaires of liberalism.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 also
forbid religious discrimination. At the elite universities, are Baptists
overrepresented? I doubt it. Are Roman Catholics overrepresented? I doubt it.
Are Jews overrepresented? A few years ago ALL the presidents of the Ivy League
universities were Jewish. Thus, 2% of the
population produced 100% of the elite university chancellors. Is that overrepresentation?
Instead of all the propaganda about white
male privilege, one should look closer at the statistics to discover who is
really privileged in America. Yet, for some reason, the academedia complex ignore this most important aspect of the statistics of oppression.
