affirmative action is really just a load of bullsh-t.
american colleges’ defense against natural selection.
“d-mn, all these asians got rejected from ivy leagues, but that black guy got in? affirmative action at the max!”

“in every cl-ss, everyone will quickly find out who got in only because of affirmative action”

“a population has to meet certain conditions to be in hardy-weinburg equilibrium, once these conditions are met, evolution is not occuring: a large population size, random mating, no net genetic mutations, no net migrations, and no natural selection. no natural selection means no evolution, and a population will never progress”
the most ironic rule ever created. it was intended to remove racism, however instead just reversed it. minorities have an automatic advantage in getting a job even if they are less qualified than a caucasian for the sole reason of their race (hence racism).

additionally, the rule implies that a minority would not be able to beat out a caucasian in getting a job or admittance to a college under normal circ-mstances, ultimately insulting minorities further.
me: i was the most qualified to get the job, but i didn’t because i’m white.

friend: affirmative action is so racist.
perhaps affirmative action (aa) is the biggest reason that successful blacks in america get less respect than successful members of other races. aa is a preference program, designed to give economic benefits to a group designated as “underrepresented minorities”, which includes blacks, non-white hispanics, native americans and women. although women are arguably the biggest beneficiary of aa, most others are upset at benefits given to blacks because it usually involves a higher margin of preference. see also affirmative blaction.

liberals typically justify aa with euphemisms such as “leveling the playing field” or “you can’t expect a man shackled for 400 years to just get up and run a race”. they never speak in straightforward, concrete terms lest they reveal aa for what it is: socio-economic welfare. it is sold to the public under the guise of “achieving equality” but, oddly, lacks any clause that measures when equality is achieved or when aa will no longer be necessary. aa is obviously not about achieving equality since no preference is given to whites, asians or women in the nba or nfl, which are black male-dominated.

strangely, although black groups fight p-ssionately to preserve aa, blacks in general are offended when it is implied that aa contributed to their current job/position. they want to get aa, but they don’t want anyone to know they got it.
jamal is applying to go to harvard medical school, and so is john. john scored in the upper 95% on his mcat, while jamal scored in the upper 65%. affirmative action is the reason that jamal will be taking out your appendix today while john is studying to be a nurse.
the bullsh-t rule that states equal rights for all. basically some f-cked up law that some black man put into rule that states that a black person is to have an equal shot at the same things as a white person. not matter if they are more qualified or not. every organozation, school, company, etc.. most follow this rule and must maintain a minimal amount of minorit-tes in their population.
i got accepeted to harvard, but it was taken back because they had to maintain the affirmative action laws and i lost my place to some f-cking black because someone of his color had to b-tch. but if i did that, i’d be charged with hate crimes and be labeled a racist.
political correctness in the form of inst-tutionalized racism the liberals and socialists created to punish whites for the injustices blacks suffered during slavery, by giving unfair advantages to minorities in the name of “equality” “diversity”or “leveling the playing field.” an unconst-tutional form of reverse discrimination that sets racial quotas, and labels a person’s credentials by race rather than merit. this should be an insult to black people, but it’s not because they want the unfair advantage to get a head. they don’t realize that affirmative action cheapens their achievements and -ssumes that no minority can get ahead on their own. the irony about affirmative action is that it uses reverse discrimination to compensate past discrimination. let’s be honest, affirmative action originally had good intent by lawmakers, but has become grossly abused in america today like everything else. colleges now use it, employers use it, banks use it, professional sports leagues use it to draft players, and even insurance companies use it. heck, one of these days the hospital ers will use it to admit patients. because of aa, you can almost be rest -ssured that if/when you see a black, hispanic or asian person on a college campus it was probably a direct result of affirmative action.
affirmative action is the epitome of political correctness gone ammock, but is a clever attempt for socialists and liberals to change the face of middle-cl-ss society.
