Did you know this about affirmative action?

[Pterodon]

In America there’s someone less qualified than you doing what you want to do because of affirmative action?

[The_Maphio]

Gladly non American here, but if this actually happens in your country, the end is nigh.
Incompetent people getting a more qualified one's position because of their sexual preferences, gender or skin colour is recipe for disaster. I'll be watching your downfall from afar, consuming insane amounts of chips in the meantime.

I knew that. I worked for a place where the head of HR told me if a black person was qualified for the job I had to hire him/her even if there were other more qualified people there.

Thanks for the MHO 😎😎😎

How can you NOT delete, John Doesn't Have a Brain?

He's the biggest asshole on this site.

[Pterodon]

I did delete and block him and yes I know all about him. He serves no purpose on here but to troll

[Opinion Owner]

His post is still here. I despise that asshole.

[Pterodon]

I did report it

[Opinion Owner]

You messed up. You just have to press the three little dots and delete his sorry ass. Now it's too late, because you reported him. Now nothing will be done at all. Reporting to the mods does nothing.

[Pterodon]

I did press the dots.

[Opinion Owner]

Then you press:

"I don't want to see this"

Don't report it, because it's a waste of time.

Did you know there is someone less qualified than you doing what you want because they're the son/daughter of the owner? Did you know there is someone less qualified than you doing what you want because they're having sex with the owner? Did you know there is someone less qualified than you doing what you want because the person performing the interviews is a dumbass/racist/sexist?
Welcome to the working world son, where unqualified people get the job and you don't.

Lmao

[TurboKid]

I think it's harmful not just to society as a whole but even to the minority groups it tends to benefit. It can fuel stereotypes about incompetence and leave people doubting whether someone who got into a great school or landed a great job was actually best qualified for it when some of them might have genuinely been the most qualified, but they will always carry that social stigma around them as long as AA exists.

[TurboKid]

[...] to the minority groups it [/intends] to benefit.

[Stoner710]

Yup that’s affirmative action for you, To make a race quota they discriminate against other races, instead of look at Marriott. And now there trying to claim focusing on Marriott is racist so we’re pretty much fucked here

[jshm2]

No. Because it's wrong.

In America there’s a White person less qualified than you, doing what you want to do, because of White privilege.

He or she probably gets paid more than you for doing the same job as well. It's one reason employers there don't allow discussion of wages.

[Pterodon]

So what you’re saying is that you have to have AA because you’re so inferior it’s the only way you can compete yet at the same time you scream how you demand equality.

[Abtraction]

yeah, another liberal fail. Why is it still allowed, coward Supreme Idiots and an illegal Judicial Review process.

[NamerOfStars]

You don't need affirmative action to masturbate while eating a pie.

[7771999]

Yep... fucked in the head

[Anonymous]

You forgot due to skin color of being black.

[Pterodon]

I didn’t think I needed to mention that

[OddBeMe]

How do you know they’re less qualified?

[Pterodon]

Been a victim of it and affirmative action is about hiring by quota not qualifications. Everybody knows that

[OddBeMe]

The regs I read say they have to be qualified. Maybe they just didn’t like you.

[Pterodon]

Nope when you hire by quota you’re automatically limiting other applicants

[Pterodon]

You have no defense

[OddBeMe]

the defense is there's no other way to reverse racism. Except by reverse racism.

[Pterodon]

How’s that working for you?

[OddBeMe]

AA made the first Gen of black millionaires in the eighties.

[Pterodon]

And it prevented other more qualified from being millionaires. Point is AA is discrimination which is illegal except for blacks and you scream you want equality. You really want to be equal? Really? Then compete fairly with us or STFU

[Pterodon]

If you defend AA and keep AA that means you really don’t want equality and frankly we’ll ensure you stay inferior

[OddBeMe]

How else do we fight inequality?

[Pterodon]

You’re not unequal. You’ve had a two term black president that couldn’t have gotten in unless the majority of whites voted for him. That was the last hurdle and it proves you can be anything America has to offer but yet you still want handouts. MLK would be ashamed of you

[OddBeMe]

But blacks can't even get regular jobs without experiencing racism. They have to change their name on their resumes to get a callback.

[Pterodon]

Not true at all and if you’re so mistreated and abused then get your black ass back to Africa

[OddBeMe]

Why the anger? This affects very little of the white population. Blacks make up 13% of population but you fucks seem to think they’re stealing everyone’s jobs….

[Pterodon]

Because you’re so inferior the only way you can compete is with discrimination.

[OddBeMe]

You know I’m not black right?

[Pterodon]

Don’t care. Your answer is do another wrong to make something right. There isn’t any wrongs happening other than AA

[OddBeMe]

Then tell me how to fight racism in the workplace. Because people who hire are actually turning away blacks.

[Pterodon]

No they’re not

[OddBeMe]

Ooh good comeback. You haven’t remotely studied.

[Pterodon]

Yeah I have

[Pterodon]

You’re saying all blacks with jobs only got them because of AA? Is that what you’re saying?

[OddBeMe]

Not all. But that law created vast amounts of wealth in their communities.

[Pterodon]

No it didn’t. You’re justifying discrimination? You’re a disgrace goodbye
