[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many white elites who think that blacks and certain browns (Latinos, but not Indian kids with the long and funny last names) [b]are incapable of succeeding based upon their own merit.[/b] These elites also want the PAC votes that supposedly represent those folks. So they create DEI efforts. Many of these elites also sit on Boards (county, corporate, school) and push their agenda by putting in place executive performance metrics based on DEI goals. The greedy execs follow suit. Hence you have what you have which is a general quota system vs. a merit based system that simultaneously creates resentment and does not push all to work as hard to succeed. This lowers standards overall and dilutes the best of the best. What DEI should really focus on is increasing the quality of instruction for those that are truly disadvantaged and should focus on those practicing unfairly. It is harder than a quota system however and doesn’t achieve the elites’ goals as easily. Hence it will never change. It will simply become worse. [/quote]

Maybe thee are people who believe the bolded.  But I think what most people believe is that they are capable, but success based on merit is more difficult due to societal structures and systems.

I agree with you that there should be focus on increasing educational opportunities and quality for the disadvantaged, and there is one. [/quote]
