Yes botten we all understand what affirmative action is supposed to correct for. How can you possibly measure it? How will we actually know when whatever historic problem has been remedied? It's a completely haphazard shot in the dark which hasn't improved the lives of any of the people it claims to help. It's just state-sanctioned racism. The only solution to past racism is to be totally racist to different people? That's moronic.

Who cares if 70% of asian americans support it? They're just wrong. 70% of people used to think the sun orbited the earth too.

Very well said. The most egregious part about it is how it's racism disguised and sold to the public as kindness. Disagree and you must be a bigot. Typical leftist tactics.

Ooloo is a bigot because of his beliefs, not just because of his opinion on affirmative action in college admissions. His bigotry is a lot more complex than that, credit is due where it is due.

Anyways, repackaging racism (and classism) and selling it to the public as a kindness is classic Capitalist Shit, so it doesn't surprise me that the reactionaries love it but won't let themselves see the parallel

what does a public opinion poll have to do with literally anything. pretty sure they didn't take a popularity poll before enacting the 13th amendment. the court is there to do what is right regardless of it's popularity.

racism is wrong. hope this helps.

Abortion last year and affirmative action this year

Who would have thought the Supreme Court would be leading the charge against systemic racism?

Do you because you are also against critical race theory. I reckoned you wouldn't learn either way.
