More Leftist Racism.

"Karens" show their racism in that they often call the police when they see blacks in affluent areas, even if the black person owns a home there or is legally using business facilities.

I noticed there are 5 "dislikes" for this post even though it consists of simple facts.

I presume that indicates that democrats just don't like the truth.

The choice is simple: we could use my suggestion and have the law treat people equally or we can use your suggestion and abandon equality before the law because you saw a field study. And, with all due respect, only a fool would allow a dictator, like yourself, to implement a plan where people are hired and/ or keep their job because of their race and not their qualific ...[text shortened]... hiring decision was discriminatory or stop questioning it.

That, and they really don't like me making them FACE the truth.
Last week I posted and article and got down-thumbs and two "reports" - LOL
over an article!!

It's just how power pig totalitarians behave.

More foot stamping.

So no remedy for this type of systemic racism which economically disadvantages minorities? They already aren't being judged on their "qualifications" as those studies show even though an individual of various minorities who achieves any where near similar "qualifications" to a white has had to overcome obstacles the latter never faces (see my 100 m ...[text shortened]... d you oppose any effective measures that might end that discrimination.

A sane person wouldn't look at a 100m race (your dumb analogy) and assume that the loser faced more obstacles and therefore deserves the first place prize. Similarly, I will not look at someone who has a job and someone who doesn't have a job and assume it was because of racism.

This is pointless; you just keep repeating the same nonsensical propaganda while throwing in childish insults.

No "sane" person would like at an actual 100m race run where one person ran on a clear track and the other on one with hurdles and conclude the one on the clear track who finished .5 seconds faster was a faster runner.

An excellent article here: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/news/2019/10/01/471085/5-reasons-support-affirmative-action-college-admissions/

I don't like long cut and pastes but there's so much in here and right wingers like QQ won't read it so I'll use quite a bit of it:

"College enrollment and completion rates have risen significantly over the past four decades. However, students of color, especially black and Latinx students, are more underrepresented at selective universities today than they were 35 years ago. In fact, a black student enrollment disparity exists at 45 of the 50 flagship state universities, meaning that the percentage of undergraduates who are black is lower than the percentage of high school graduates in that state who are black. For example, black students constituted 50 percent of 2015–2016 high school graduates in Mississippi, but were just 12.9 percent of University of Mississippi undergraduates.

Banning affirmative action only worsens this persistent problem. For example, one study found that students of color experience a 23 percentage point decline in likelihood of admission to highly selective public colleges after an affirmative action ban goes into effect."

"Evidence gathered by the Century Foundation suggests that racially integrated classrooms can reduce students’ racial bias, improve satisfaction and intellectual self-confidence, and enhance leadership skills."

"While income can and should be considered as part of a holistic evaluation of applicants, it should complement rather than supplant the consideration of race and ethnicity. Income can serve as a good indicator of a household’s ability to cover regular expenses, but it doesn’t tell the whole story about economic well-being and access to higher education.

Wealth makes it easier for families to relocate to better school districts, purchase test preparation books and classes, and pay or help pay college tuition. But centuries of systemic racism and intergenerational transfers have provided white households with far more wealth than households of color, even after controlling for income. In fact, middle-income white households typically have twice as much wealth as their Latinx counterparts and three times more wealth than their black counterparts. As a result, students of color (especially black students) are more likely than similarly situated white students to attend underfunded and high-poverty K-12 schools.

Even when students of color have wealthy parents or attend the same schools as white students, they experience the U.S. educational system differently. For example, students of color are less likely to be referred to “gifted and talented” programs, even after controlling for test scores, health, socio-economic status, and classroom and school characteristics. Schools are also more likely to suspend or expel students of color than white students. Beginning as early as preschool, these experiences can hinder social-emotional and behavioral development; limit educational experiences; obstruct the process of identifying and addressing underlying issues; and contribute to increased family stress and burden due to challenges in finding an affordable and suitable alternative placement. Data also show that race-based bullying is on the rise, and black and Latinx students who experience bullying are more likely to suffer academically than their white peers. Until the racial wealth gap and other forms of structural racism are eliminated, income alone will be insufficient for promoting diversity on college campuses nationwide."

" Students of color have long faced systemic barriers in the American education system, including exclusion, segregation, underfunding, fewer resources, and lower familial wealth. As a result, students of color are more likely to fare worse on the indicators of success that colleges evaluate for admission, making it harder for people of color to access top-tier public and private colleges. Race-conscious admissions practices, such as affirmative action, attempt to remedy these inequities by encouraging colleges to take a closer look at some of the nontraditional factors that could make a student successful—factors often overlooked in traditional admissions criteria.

Wealthier, often white, students are more likely to have had a parent that attended college—meaning those students are likely to benefit from practices such as legacy preference. In addition, white students are likely to have greater amounts of wealth and attend K-12 schools that provide multiple extracurricular activities, sports programs, and college prep resources. As a result, these students are particularly competitive applicants for top-tier institutions. Affirmative action allows colleges to use holistic reviews to consider race as one of many factors under evaluation when reviewing applicants. Therefore, affirmative action betters the chances of a student of color receiving fair, comprehensive consideration instead of being overlooked for admission."

"Despite the barriers low-income students and students of color face to gain access to higher education, research has shown that once admitted to top-tier institutions, low-income students complete their degree at higher rates and earn almost as much as wealthy students postgraduation. These findings suggest that all students, regardless of background, benefit from the value top-tier institutions provide. So while some argue that low-income students and students of color may be overwhelmed by the academic rigor at selective colleges, research suggests the opposite.

Affirmative action can help to level the playing field by ensuring all students—regardless of wealth, privilege, or background—have a chance to benefit from the advantages selective colleges provide."

If anyone wants to refute these points, be my guest but I'm not going to keep responding to simplistic propaganda and insults.

I'm not reading QQ's stuff anymore since it's just the same thing over and over and over again (with petty insults tossed in), but here's a lucid response regarding what affirmative action accomplished for black and white students and how California has suffered from its ending:
