Lets see if reddit's demographics hold true in this thread. I'm betting the majority of opinions here are going to be against Affirmative Action. Why? Well lets just say Reddit's user base isn't as diverse as they claim to be.

Affirmative action isn't about diversity. It is the illusion of diversity. It is based in racist ideology that some racists are too stupid to meet higher standards and that racists are inherently different, so adding races makes anything more diverse.

If diversity was actually valued, then asshole democrats would call for education reform that put hispanic and AA/black students on the same footing as white and Asian students. They don't though. They want to keep everything the same while pretending that token admits repair the damage caused by structurally unsound education and criminal justice systems.

Does it really surprise you that people would be upset about a policy that negatively affects them based on their skin color and not the content of their character and academic makeup?

Positive discrimination will surely save us from discrimination. What we need is to discriminate the right people. (/s)

What we need to do is redress the already extant discrimination inherent in the system by countering it with laws. That's the point. We're not starting from an equal playing field and artificially handicapping white people; we're starting from a completely uneven playing field and doing our best to make it even for all people.

I'll bite--The older I get the more I start to think that this isn't enough to solve the problems of racial inequality in this country. Really I am starting to think that with the disproportionate number of blacks going to jail, in poverty, or the divide in education, I think reparations really might be the only cure to the anathema on the American society.

I just haven't read or seen a system that would work, or properly bring those numbers up/down int the proper way. But I'll eat my downvotes for saying reparations. Bring it on.

Who do you give money to? How much money do you give them? Do you have to prove slavery existed in your past? Should we give women reparations? Jews? Catholics?

What about black people that migrated here and did not suffer under slavery, but still discrimination in the South? What about those that went to the North? Do we pay reparations to wealthy black families? Does every member of the family get equal reparation or would older people get more?

I'm betting the majority of opinions here are going to be against Affirmative Action. Why?

Because we don't believe in punishing people for their race?

[–]XpanderTN [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Why is this considered a punishment? I disagree with this notion.

[–]lolnopound [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Why is not getting into college because of your skin color a punishment?

We need to help black students, but punishing innocent people for being white or asian is not an acceptable solution.

So what about the non-minority groups that benefit from Affirmative Action? Or is this just focusing on the brown people today?

AA exists to level the playing field, as it acknowledges that the playing field is not even, and has not been EVER. Otherwise, why would it exist?

AA exists to level the playing field

By punishing people

Who didn't do anything wrong

Affirmative action is legal racism.

No one ever claims that Reddit's base is diverse. It's said constantly , and accurately, that Reddit is white, young, and male. And is it surprising that a law that marginalizes young white males is disliked here?

[–]Its_all_over_16 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Haha that's not true at all. I'll tie this into the current political campaign. HRC's weakest group is young white men. But when you remind users on this site that the majority of users here are probably made up of her weakest group suddenly that's not a thing that matters. Like when Bernie went to the South and got routed. Or when he was losing the black vote by over 60 points.

People on here don't want to accept that truth. This is a site that upvotes and downvotes in accordance with how young white men think. It's not intentional. I'll give you that. But after being on here for so many years I've learned this place is just as bad, actually I think it's worse, than being in the political bubble that my grandparents are in. All this place does is reinforce the confirmation bias this place has.

I enjoy the amount of people who make fun of radio listeners or cable news watchers, but get all of their information from the front page of /r/politics
