Hard data shows affirmative action holding back US progress

I laughed. Good job, good effort.

 

I could think of it like an ignorant dope or I can think of it through the lens of history and context. Not a tough choice. Your desire to continuously ignore history and context in order to create simplistic, false choices is noted.

 

Is something wrong with you?

This study has nothing to do with AA, I pointed this out in the other thread and thought surely...surely he wouldn't use it again...yet here we are...you are yet AGAIN using a study that has nothing to do with affirmative action.

In fact, it is advocating for MORE diversity and MORE immigration.

"The report concludes that to boost U.S. innovation, policymakers should broaden and deepen the national pool of STEM talent by improving STEM education and empowering students of all backgrounds to pursue these fields, and by strengthening the pipeline for highly skilled immigrants to work in the United States."

Get help. Please.

 

What assistance? Blacks get the worst public education and you wonder why they aren't becoming innovators? Really?

 

Of course Affirmative Action is ridiculous, and stifles efficiency.

But interestingly, and increasingly, it's not an issue of race -- it's an issue of gender.

In fact, it's white women that are benefitting from AA:

"But — and this is a big but — those benefits are more likely to accrue to white women than they are to women of color, and that imbalance has very real effects on employment and earnings later in life. In other words: affirmative action works, and it works way better for white women than it does for all the other women in America."

[I know, I know....Muffington Post, but I think this will be born out elsewhere]

Most welfare type programs are either targeted toward women at the start, or they become subverted to be targeted toward women.

Such is the nature of our gynocracy.

People get all upset about the issue of race. But that's not the big issue.

 

Hard data proves my deepest most politically incorrect view. Hard data, bro.

 

I don't think you understand what Affirmative Action is.
1. It isn't quotas.
2. It is only mandatory in instances where there is a proven history of racism.
3. It is voluntarily or encouraged through incentives in other cases.

Your chart could also show why we need more affirmative action. Imagine how much the chart would change if there wasn't discrimination going against minorities for jobs, promotions, education, etc.

 

I don't think he understands what Hard Data is.

 

Affirmative action isn't as ubiquitous as racist ****s like you think it is, not in the private employment sector or anywhere in this posting.

 

That is ALL it does. You've made a causal relation that simply isn't mentioned in the study at all.

The chart could be in favor of AA, it could be showing the results of it, we really don't know, it never mentions AA at all in the study or why the numbers are what they are.

In fact, this is what the study is advocating for...

This study is saying that MORE should be done for women in minorities...not that we should get rid of AA...it doesn't even mention AA...

You need some new hard data bro.

 

Is AA even common outside of universities? Ive never noticed it in my professional career.

 

Hm. I’ve been offered a position every job I’ve interviewed for outside of 1. Guess I’m just awesome.

 

The data you showed doesn't demonstrate what you claim here.
