I really didn't know that there was this much blowback about AA.

If you are a cisgendered white male, your future is so fucked.

Oh, i'm sorry, its 2020. I'm meant to be taking a knee and ignoring what is staring me in the face. My bad.

Incidentally I don't much fancy the chances of cisgendered white women either. Their well of victim points is drying up every day as far as society is concerned.

White women were the most benefited from Affirmative Action I hear.

It'll be for discrimination against white men foremost, so that's OK. I mean, OK for some people.

When some asians objected to being discriminated against, they were warned that doing so might help white people. :lol:

"The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin."
This is because it is easier to pass a law to theoretically get to equality of outcomes if you judge people by their demographic group than by their individual merits. Having to treat people equally under law is a block to such things. The problem, of course, is that these things do not actually work. Sending a HS graduate to a high level university becuase they have a favored identity does them no favors if they have not developed the academic discipline to thrive in such an enviroment. This is the easy thing for politicians to do, not the right thing.

At least California cannot repeal the 14th Amendment.
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.”
