Yes, the country where Indians, East Asians, and Jews outperform Whites by every metric.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 5:49 pmReally?

Re: Once again, minorities get the short end of the stick.
Right, I assume at least. Affirmative Action was set up in light of African Americans issues, unless I'm mistaken. I believe there are other minorities too aside from those that have been listed between these two posts.Antiboyscout wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 11:43 pmYes, the country where Indians, East Asians, and Jews outperform Whites by every metric.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 5:49 pmReally?

Re: Once again, minorities get the short end of the stick.
And here we can see a goalpost move. Your original post states that Whites are "favored overall in society" and now you are claiming its in relative to Africans.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 11:46 pmRight, I assume at least.

Re: Once again, minorities get the short end of the stick.
Whites are somewhere around 65% of the population and are around 60-70% on that chart.
Indians and Asians may have been combined but together can't be more than 10% of the population, but make up around 20% approaching 25% of the chart.
Jews appear to be lumped together with whites so that's not helpful.

If a minority is shunned, then the dominant class tends to be favored, yes.Antiboyscout wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 11:51 pm

That's not really goal post switching, that's saying the same thing in two different ways.

Re: Once again, minorities get the short end of the stick.
I mean I try to remember to be a little more pertinent with explicit data etc... but yeah they are rather reflexive statements, at least given that clearspira was the one who initiated the claim of AA being directly against whites.
If you flip it that way then you have to addendum the factors accordingly and it changes things.
