[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is truly stunning and saddening.

OP, your title should more accurately read "...anti-white male affirmative action policies". 16 pages in and [b]no one seems to realize that the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action are in fact women, specifically white women.[/b] It is the main reason why women now out-number men on college campuses.

But sure let's all keep focusing on what Jamal is "taking from" Jim. SMH. Do Jim's parents realize that their DD Becky is a beneficiary of AA as well? Or are they too busy worrying about "reverse racism"?

Perhaps this explains why Becky voted for Trump et al. She's too concerned with keeping Jamal out to realize she's hurting herself.[/quote]

The idea that white women are the main beneficiaries of AA is a very popular myth these days.  I hear people say it a lot, but I rarely see it backed up with evidence. Maybe it depends on what definition of AA we are using? If white women are the primary beneficiaries of AA, then how much is it really helping the African Americans for whom it is apparently so important?[/quote]

Affirmative action is not a HARD FORMULA applied every time to every situation every year. There are no hard and fast rules and it changes its shape ever so slightly based on the application pool, scores etc. And it doesn't prefer anyone over the other based on race or gender using a hard formula either. But overall affirmative action tries to create a pool that reflects America without overly favoring one factor alone. If it is purely admission test scores the top schools should look over 50% asian BUT it doesn't. If it is purely based on sports achievement it would have fewer asians and so forth. [/quote]
