Guess we don’t fix racism with more racism. Meritocracy FTW. It is already illegal to discriminate by race, Federally. Smart people can come from any race.
If I am reading the source right, it is not stopping people from applying for jobs. It is getting rid of DEI departments. Which could or likely have white hires, too.
In Harvard, they were making up lies about Asian applicants and their characters in order to prop up black student’s lower scores via personality traits, which was well, DEI in action. This part did not make the news much.
This was found in the court case through discovery, everyone should read it. It was wild, and seemingly the main reason and drive why Affirmative Action was cancelled and overturned.
Road to hell paved with good intentions and all that jazz.

It’s not about preferential treatment. Because if it was preferential treatment, well, white folks have had that for centuries.
It’s about leveling things up. Yes, smart people come from all backgrounds. But if that smart person has a cognitive burden of worrying about basic stuff that other smart people don’t have too, he/she will be at disadvantage when seeking opportunities to advance.
I’m not saying I’m an expert, and that you’re totally wrong and I’m totally right. It’s just that the topic is not that simple as black and white (heh.)

Europe is not some utopia in which discrimination does not exist and everyone is equal.

In which contexts? Because I’m sorry, you seem to be against affirmative action, and affirmative action definitely gives more advantages to minorities in the U.S. than Europe, which has none of that.
You’re now contradicting yourself. Is preferential treatment the problem or not? (and it’s spelled preferential with one f.)
So clearly you’re talking about something else. Please elaborate, if you’d like.
Stop lying, you know full well that’s not what’s happening
