do the journalists from "fake news" always speak for the people in power? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/us/affirmative-action-washington-ballot.html Reject I-1000 on Referendum 88!
So how did Asians accomplish high representation in business and high end jobs without ever being subject of preferential treatment of affirmative action? Despite active efforts nation wide to limit their progress they keep getting wealthier I think their progress is the proof that it’s not about race or skin color but culture of hard work
Maybe they were never slaves in this country. Just a thought.
Pretty much any country went through some sort of a class system similar to slavery in effect. None of subjects of affirmative action are slaves themselves or even saw a living slave
Only focus was SKIN COLOR and GENDER. 🤪
All African Americans are poor All Asians are rich No?
Which culture emphasizes and inculcates education in their families? I would imagine those families would be more visible in education Maybe it’s cultural. How about focus on that
Turns out stereotyping is still fun and cool even in 2019!
Lol that’s what they are proposing but you don’t see that You are skin tone is black, you must be poor You are Asian, well fuck you rich guy That is the definition of stereotyping but it’s ok cause you do it 🤣
African Americans need support. There is no argument there. Many black communities are poor. If not overnight change, at least those should be in positive direction and rest should work towards it.
Nobody needs support in USA more than others. Even if we’re talking about a white boy why do you think he should be discriminated? Just because some people with fair skin thousand years ago did something wrong? Nonsense
You already said who needs support - the poor. The discussion ends there. I don’t see a reason to help out communities based on race rather than income.
The people have spoken
Its gonna lose.
OP - I read the whole article and still failed to understand the opponents’ position, maybe you could clarify? (I don’t live in Washington or California)
Because fake news wanted it that way. The opposition is very clear: I-1000 will bring back racial quotas, and remove preferences for veterans, and establish another bureaucracy to oversee every state agency’s compliance, along with businesses that have a public contract. It is no good.
Well, yeah. Racial quotas are no good. They're no good because we only need them due to systemic racism. So, maybe get rid of that and then you can get rid of quotas. Why the fuck would you give preference to veterans, who made a choice, as opposed to people of color, who just have the misfortune of being born in this fucked up country that still has reconciled its past.
