So is affermative action super racist or not racist? The only reason race is on the modern college application/job application is for diversity hires. So i guess its a form of racism in that of low expectations but then again, wouldn't you actively harm black people by having it removed? Cause there is no way that there would be as many black people in top positions of colleges and jobs without it.

I agree, lets do it. There's no way they wouldn't start screaming immediately after.

Yeah, let's do it, it will get us closer to a real meritocracy. Might be a good idea to take the gender question off of applications too, and just use SSNs or something instead of names so that there isn't any clue to what race/gender someone is to cloud the judgement of whoever's hiring, just have stuff about job experience since that's all that really matters.

Speaking of issues with affirmative action programs, I have learned that SAT scoring is based on racist as hell stereotyping. Black and hispanic people are given bonuses, white people just get whatever score they earned, and Asians are given a penalty and have to score higher than everybody else. A black person scoring 1000, a white person with 1300 and an Asian student with 1450 are all considered to have the same score. For some reason that's considered a progressive line of thinking and I don't get why. Maybe I'm just missing something, but to me it just seems so racist to think black or hispanic people can't possibly score as high as a white person, that white people are some kind of 'default', and the whole "Asians are all super-geniuses" stereotype is harmful too. If anything, shouldn't bonuses be based on wealth since that's what determines the quality of public education you get?

That kinda sounds like they're setting the black person up for failure. I assume a 1000 score is the best they could do and with that they'd maybe be able to get into a really good school but prob end up flunking out because again they aren't as good as the people who got 1300 and 1450 and will struggle a lot because of it.

They are but they don't care. It's not about helping blacks succeed, it's about constructing a system that disadvantages whites.

This is a completely reasonable and logical way to hire people, so no one would actually do it.

100% yes i know of quite a few smokers with lungproblems and they still keep smoking. Obese people who refuse to loose weight should be treated the same way.

People on the left be like: "Do you hate fatties and smokers??!!" Yes. We do. Actions have consequences, and we should not socialize the consequences.

the sissy hypno subreddit has almost 100,000 more users than the normal hypnosis subreddit. I think thats all you really need to know about the people who use reddit
