[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think another poster said this, but the history of racism in the US for the last 150 years is literally the history of facially neutral laws with racist intent and effect. You can't assess race blindness without understanding the circumstances.[/quote] And affirmative action is facially "racist" with racist intent and effect - just the opposite of previous. Affirmative action is under fire because it is not neutral -- but it's not supposed to be. The question is, why is that not okay?[/quote] Affirmative action is intended to counteract the effects of structural racism. While it's intended impact is racial in nature, when properly executed it's meant to be a temporary cure for racism. People have to remember here that the end of the pipeline is STEM careers, not TJ. TJ is a part of that pipeline.[/quote]
