Dont mind me, I'm just translating ideological bs into reality... But feel free to explain how those words dont apply - I'm generally unimpressed and bored by people who post insults instead of substance
Even an idiot child can see* that all that affirmative action does is mandate, perhaps hamfistedly, strongly that you
cannot be shown to have discriminatory hiring practices. So take an aforementioned example where 11% of the state is black, but only 4% of the student body is black. All other things being equal - and yes the law does assume that whites and blacks are equal - these numbers should be the same,
or you should make a compelling case for why you are enrolling a disproportionate quantity of whites. Many organizations do have good reasons - not enough are applying, the numbers are inflated due to non-racial implied biases in the process, etc. - and are capable of justifying this inequity thusly.
In other words, it is legislation against discrimination that takes it to its logical conclusion. You cannot discriminate, and we will know if you do because you
should be hiring a proportional quantity of whites and blacks. It is not "state-mandated racial discrimination" so much as "enforced non-discrimination."
*Of course, it doesn't feed into the convenient whitey victimization complex to believe that affirmative action
isn't just a law saying "Give jobs to blacks, not whites, under pain of government."
