The USSC strikes down Affirmative Action

Good



Racism sucks

[Herman]

[Herman]

There is some wiggle room in Supreme Court decision for universities to sneak in some racial discrimination. There could be more decisions from the court to come.

[Shen Li]

It was legalized racist discrimination against Asian-Americans.

[DKG]

I usualy do not respond to Joe threads, but I will make an exception for this one.



There is not much that unites the Asian North American community, but this is probably the only issue where we speak with one voice. From eighteen year old Sanders supporters in suburban San Francisco to almost fifty year old fiscal hawks like me, all Asians in North America support the SC's decision in  overturning this obvious injustice.

[Adolf Oliver Bush]

Probably because a meritocracy works better than pushing mental midgets to the front of the queue, just putting that out there.

[Odinson]

The retard treatment action.

[Frood]

Joe is a low functioning autistic... case closed.

[DKG]

The retard treatment action.

It treats the people who it is supposed to help like they are retarded.

If the media would stop bringing up racism every five minutes it just might disappear.

[Herman]

[Herman]

If the media would stop bringing up racism every five minutes it just might disappear.

That is why they will not stop bringing up racism every five minutes.

[JOE]

I support some form of Affirmative action.



However, it should be economically rather than racially based.



A rich Black student doesn't need Affirmative action such as Obama's daughters.

In fact a poor white might need it a lot more than them.

I belieive before AA was overturned in the US, it was technically possible for a wealthy Black person to gain  admission to top universities even tho they didn't need it.



I think that was a major flaw of Affirmative action.

and It never addressed regional disparities nor required that its beneficiaries had to give back.



However, I still think that to address economic and regional disparities, some form of AA is still needed.

If only rich or  upper middle class kids get into medical or dental schools from no own, who's gonna wanna practice in places like rural; Georgia? Or a remote village in Northern Alaska.



For sure, AA needed a major overhaul tho.



I think they shoulda still kept it, but mandated that its beneficiaries had to do time where they are needed

say a minimum 15 years service in a remote or underserviced area or state.



Somewhat akin to ROTC graduates who have get their tuition/room and board paid for, but once graduated, they have to serve wherever Uncle Same/US government sends them.
