Lifesaver said:In other words, violating people's rights to hire whom they choose, making it so that the preferred candidates don't get the job they would have voluntarily accepted and harming the rest of society as a result.
Trogdor the Burninator said:So what, in reality, does AA do ?
If there are no racial quotas, if the most qualified person ALWAYS gets the job or the college spot, if existing Anti discrimination laws have not been over-ridden, then what exactly is AA doing, not in theory but on a practical level ?
Trogdor the Burninator said:Well plenty of us from the Anti-AA position base our stand on facts too. And the fact remains that a government cannot on the one hand mandate race in ANY FORM in hiring policy while at the same time expecting the public not to do likewise.
And as for talking to people, almost no-one that I've talked to supports the policy for that exact reason.
The figures cited earlier in mhatten's post show that racist incidents have been INCREASING since the early 90s. So it seems that AA is failing in the real world too.
Neverstop said:For all those opposed to AA...is this equitable to stating that racism, overall, has been antiquated?
Neverstop said:Surely, that was one of the purposes of AA.
Neverstop said:Is there an answer to the question or not?
MethodMan said:The inverse meaning the goal of AA was to eliminate racism?
mhatten said:
mhatten said:Hardly.
MethodMan said:Then why premise the question to only to those who do not believe that AA? The inferrence is clear.

Neverstop said:There is a huge difference between eliminating racism and working to reduce the detrimental and pervasive effects of racism. AA is for the latter because most people are aware that laws do not change peoples' hearts/minds.
I wanted to know why people oppose AA.
MethodMan said:But, it does the exact opposite
1. Because it uses discrimination to counter discrimination.
2. Tells minorities they are inferrior.
You can't justify bad behavior with more bad behavior.
Neverstop said:How?
1. What should have been done to disabuse racism in the US?
2. That is a myth.
3. This is relying on the claim that AA is "reverse racism." Since AA is not reverse racism then it cannot be classified as "bad behaviour."
Is racism, on the whole, no longer a reality in the US?
