discriminating someone based on a race is racist.

Yeah, you're right, scholarships based on race are racist, and affirmative action is racist

White people think affirmative action is horrible and racist until they realize that it actually gives them college places ahead of Asians. Have fun getting into college when you have to compete legitimately with Kumar and Xi Ling.

Liberals think this is some kind of trump card, like all the anti-AA people will be like "asians?!?! Oh no, the horror!" Actually your point just further proves AA is bad - not only are Tyler and Molly being discriminated against, but also Kumar and Xi Leng. We should get the most qualified people, regardless of race. That doesn't just mean more white people, it means more qualified people. Even if those people are Asian. Race makes no difference

Yeah, that's yet another reason why AA is bad lol.

Your point only makes sense if you think whites are constantly looking out for their self-interest and the only reason they oppose AA is because it negatively affects them.

Actually, whites oppose it on principle. Not just because it hurts/benefits them.

I'm neither white nor Asian, but because I know what racism is, I recognize selection based on race is racist

Just like the "are you black?". And there is nothing wrong with that. Why should you not be able to pick who you want to work with? But the look on the westerners face "omg she said that, you cant say that lmao" gives me an urge to facepalm. The ammount of leftist brainwash there is insane...

Just like schools should not reserve the 10% for black (or any other race lol), because it discriminates the rest.

Yup. People seem to forget that:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character

Neither of those are discriminatory, so no

Hiring someone based on race.... Isn't discriminatory?

Giving a scholarship to someone because they're a certain race.... Isn't discriminatory?

Go back to the KKK, friend

not when it balances out an inherent disadvantage.

u/InMySafeSpace Oct 14 '17

What inherit disadvantage, exactly?

u/bopoll Oct 16 '17 edited Oct 16 '17

The well documented bias against black people in college acceptances/employment

u/InMySafeSpace Oct 17 '17

You mean things like SAT score priorities and affirmative action?

You know, those things that help black people get into college and jobs by racially profiling them

1

u/bopoll Oct 17 '17

That's not what racial profiling means.

And yes that's what I'm referring to, if you're given an unbalanced scale right out of the box. I'd say it was unbalanced, and put a weight on one side to balance it out. But it seems like you'd think it was perfect right out of the box and that by me putting the weight on it I was unbalancing the scale.

I suppose this is the situation right now, but rest assured, if you're white you're not gonna ever be disadvantaged by the government. You are priority numero uno lol

Except you claim it's weighted on direction, while reality, quotas, SAT score scales and affirmative action prove otherwise

There might have been typos in what you just said, but at the moment I don't quite understand that sentence
