[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1, people don't seem to mention that Affirmative Action policy includes women, white women in particular, so of course women would leap frog men in certain fields and industry. It's time to reverse it .
They just need to implement affirmative action for men. They do it all the time for AA and Hispanic students. Just lower the standards and problem solved.[/quote]

I keep seeing people say white women are supposedly the beneficiaries of Affirmative Action, literally never seen the data to prove it. In what World?[/quote]

[quote] The primary beneficiaries of affirmative action have been Euro-American women," wrote Columbia University law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw for the University of Michigan Law Review in 2006.

A 1995 report by the California Senate Government Organization Committee found that white women held a majority of managerial jobs (57,250) compared with African Americans (10,500), Latinos (19,000), and Asian Americans (24,600) after the first two decades of affirmative action in the private sector. In 2015, a disproportionate representation of white women business owners set off concerns that New York state would not be able to bridge a racial gap among public contractors.

A 1995 report by the Department of Labor found that 6 million women overall had advances at their job that would not have been possible without affirmative action. The percentage of women physicians tripled between 1970 and 2002, from 7.6 percent to 25.2 percent, and in 2009 women were receiving a majority of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, according to the American Association of University Women. To be clear, these numbers include women of all races; however, breaking down affirmative action beneficiaries by race and gender seems to be rare in reported data.

Contrary to popular belief, affirmative action isn't just black. It's white, too. But affirmative action's white female faces are rarely at the center of the conversation.[/quote]
