Default Re: A Supreme Court Ruling That Warms My Little Racist Heart

[ QUOTE ]
The argument, for college admissions, went something like this: Blacks are X% of the population; yet they're only X-Y% of college admissions. They're scoring worse on entrance tests. They're not genetically inferior intellectually. Therefore the reason why they're scoring worse, and therefore being admitted less, is that they're not prepared as well in their pre-college education, for a variety of reasons, the most important one being the general circumstances of racism and the legacy of racism. That is, the fact that they didn't do as well on tests and were underrepresented in college was de facto evidence of discrimination.

When this accepted truth is questioned so very much of the AA issue falls away as wasteful and futile.

I'm still looking for guaranteed proportional representation for whites in the NBA or the NFL, since we're all exactly the same. But coaching spots, that's where AA is needed. I get it.
