Nobody ever talks about the harm affirmative action inflicts on its putative “beneficiaries.” From H.P. Smith at americanthinker.com:
Let’s be honest: the Diversity Hire does no one any good…least of all the Diversity Hire. Last week’s SCOTUS decision to do away with race-based Affirmative Action policies in higher education finally took a step towards fixing a grievous wrong.
But if you listen to Senator Elizabeth Warren (infamously known as Fauxcahontas, Lie-Awatha, and Sitting B——-), what happened is that the “extremist” Supreme Court “rolled back the march toward racial justice, and narrowed educational opportunity for all.” For that comment, she was deservedly roasted on Twitter. I won’t spoil the fun…go check it out!
In Warren’s mind, ending the blatant discrimination against historically higher-achieving Asians and whites (sorry, just the facts) means marching away from racial justice. Evidently, “racial justice” means fighting racism with even more blatant racism, as long as that racism helps out whichever protected group is in favor today.
Warren benefited from these racist policies by being employed at Harvard Law for over twenty years because she claimed to be “American Indian,” so why wouldn’t she support affirmative action? Ironically, she had to cheat in order to get ahead as a boring old white chick, even back then. Further irony is that Warren presumably took the place that Harvard’s quota system had set aside for an actual Native American!
at least half the country and all the ‘leaders’ do not understand that using racism to fix racism is not only counterintuitive, but only assures more of the same. is that the real idea here?
