Affirmative was created way back when to help blacks get back on their feet etc etc. Now it seems a lot of races use it as a crutch, assuming that because they're a minority that they'll get preferential treatment and that if they don't then it's racism. It was supposed to have just faded away as things became more and more equal, but lo and behold, it's still here.
Anyone think it should stay? What are your reasons? |

About Asians and AA.
Minda (comradered) did the research in our previous Affirmative Action thread and I agree that AA is BAD for Asians. Justin did research, too. http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...st&p=267038 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...st&p=274174 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...st&p=277378 Just FYI. |
