@anonymousmcgoo @Major_Atl @63BCAugustus @itsgabbyt Your insistant focus on race instead of competence does not come across in a good light though. Just saying. I'm gonna back out of this conversation at this point. I've made my viewpoint clear.

@Major_Atl @anonymousmcgoo @63BCAugustus @itsgabbyt Better way to read it : Competent students who earned their admissions increased after ending affirmative actions. Lets also end Legacy admissions and DEI.

@anonymousmcgoo @Major_Atl @63BCAugustus @itsgabbyt I will say, your consistant focus on skin color instead of competence is leaving a very unpleasant taste over this entire conversation Mr. Anon.

@Major_Atl @anonymousmcgoo @63BCAugustus @itsgabbyt Legacy admissions are equally stupid. DEI/AA/Legacy admissions and Paid admissions should all be removed.

Can we stop focusing on which skin color gets affected by it? Its not about race. Its about merit. It sows doubt about wether or not people are the most competent and having earned where they are - because it does not focus on merit, character and achievement. In some cases it will negative impact men, in others women, in some cases asians, others blacks. The crux of the matter is that it takes away from the competent and earned, by filling quotas. In norway for example, 40% of all board of directors MUST be of the opposite sex. Its a ridiculous notion that has nothing to do with competence. So i will repeat myself. Any system should be based on merit, talent, achievements and character - rather then immutable things like skin color, sex and sexuality.

@Major_Atl @itsgabbyt Why would this statistic change anything in the conversation? Its still a system based on skin color, sex and sexuality instead of merit, character and achievements.

I have never said its about blacks. I have said its wrong for a system to give different treatment and rules to different people based on skin color, sex and sexuality. It should be based on merit, character and talent. Anything else is evil. The above statistic means absolutely nothing in terms of changing my opinion on that. The only person caring about the skin color here is you. I want a merit based system. My arguement stands.

I dont know how many times I have to explain this. I dont care about the color. The policy itself is problematic. Any system should be merit based. Not doing based on merit, but basing on skin color, sex or sexuality is evil. It doesnt matter if the recipient is white, blue, green, black or polkadot. Merit, character and achievement. You think that my opinion will change because the biggest beneficiary is whites ? No. Basing anything on skin color is evil. Simple.

@CRShowtime1 @itsgabbyt Actually - if you removed it and made it purely based on merit, then Harvard would statisticly be 51% asian, with the majority being female. Not exactly white men. White men underperform like hell in academia in recent times.

@CRShowtime1 @itsgabbyt Again - remove the entire basis for the arguement. Remove DEI & Affirmative actions & legacy admissions. If you do - then no one can assume its because of anything other then merit. I'll never go to any of these Ivy league schools anyway.

@ExhaustedMom5 @itsgabbyt Yep, I agree - and I distaste that. Not sure what else I can say on that. People have an insane need to criticise others for their personalities, and I think everyone feels that nowadays. Tolerance for differences in personality is not exactly at an all time high.

The problem is that it IS new injustice. These policies are creating new discriminated classes. If we look away from whites (which is still not morally right either, since there are generational differences here). Its not whites that are the most adversely affected by these policies. Its asians. Mostly asian women.

@brownandbella @KassTheWriter @itsgabbyt I agree that would be insane. Its also not my arguement. The most discriminated group right now is asian females. They were not exactly the oppressors in US history.

I think you misunderstand. First off there are generational differences here, but thats not my point. Right now, the most negatively affected group by these policies are asian females. Tell me, how long should asian females suffer the unconstitutional discrimination this is ? And, after that - i assume something will have to be done to make it up to them, so which group should be discriminated against next?

@brownandbella @KassTheWriter @itsgabbyt You cant correct it by creating a new injustice. Which right now primarily negatively discriminates against asian females. You correct it by creating a fair system thats the same for everyone, and adressing the issues. What you are talking about is revenge, thats not the same.

@ExhaustedMom5 @itsgabbyt Read my answer on this elsewhere in this thread. I abhorre legacy admissions and paid admissions. White is definately not most competent. At the moment, most competent is asian females. They are also the most discriminated against.

@Kayla39616605 @itsgabbyt We're not talking about basic education here. Thats a vastly different conversation. No one has a right to an Ivy League education. Its supposed to be the best of the best. Its supposed to purely be merit. Its not supposed to be everyone. It should be EARNED.
