End Racial Preferences at Colleges? 

Like everything in intersectional belief, call factual words hate and change hateful words to sound nice.

Haha exactly, and he's so stupid that he goes on to say "they put their own spin". Really breaks the illusion of top minds coming from these schools!

"So let me use weasel words to describe discrimination, but refuse to call it what it is. Because I can pretend it's not true if I don't actually use the name, therefore maintaining my doublethink."

AA is racial and gender discrimination and should be unconstitutional.

"It doesn't matter, we will just call up our buddy Webster and get that definition changed."

That's exactly what he was saying. It's not true, but it is lowering expectations as though it were true.

That's only because it's the position of people in favor of affirmative action.

It does sound suspiciously like that. It is almost like the liberals and democrats have ALWAYS been the actual racists.

All of this speaking up for minorities is so insulting to those minorities. Let them speak for themselves.

They do, but that doesn't mean they should get it. Imagine going to a surgeon who complete his course thanks to affirmative action. They make a tiny mistake, less than the ~6% score disparity - and a week later you go into ER from internal bleeding and infection. Imagine having a rocket engineer like that. They make a tiny mistake, off by 0,5% on some calculation - and that's several dead astronauts and millions of dollars gone.

See also the late great George Carlin's monologue on Shell Shock -> Battle Fatigue -> Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

But is it really “to make up for racism”? There’s an underlying assumption in that which would first have to be established as fact.

Let's level the NFL, NBA playing field, eh ?

The question we need to smack them with is: HOW? None of their arguments hold up to scrutiny. We need to draw them into these arguments and demand HARD evidence of systemic oppression. They've advanced this so far because we're not putting the burden of proof on them. They'll cite statistics about demographics in schools or prisons, and they just throw that out as if it's implied proof of discrimination. It's past time to demand that they prove their case. They never have.

It's ok when they do it.

Don't you just love how these weasels play language games with us to push otherwise indefensible policies?

Is this a quote from the video

"No, because it doesn't affect me or my kids, so being racist against anyone else is fine."

My thoughts exactly

If only common sense was common

If Lenin was around today, he'd be most proud

Malcolm X and George Lincoln Rockwell would like to have a word with you.

Exactly, All Lives Matter and Let's go Brandon!

Exactly!

It's anti racist language to justify racism against other races.

To me that sounds like something Hitler would say for the Aryan race. Hitler thought the rich bourgeoisie Jews had it too good for too long - seems like Harvard has the same thought with the Asians.

@@debanydoombringer1385 We need to fight historic racism with affirmative racism. There are people that actually say this.

They really love the manipulation of language. I guess the revolution will be complete when the language is perfected. As Winston said.

Sad part is none of this will change because everyone allows it. Back to watching my TV with black people in every commercial

Race concious assistance. So... racism . Oh the irony. Cant put lipstick on a pig. Lol

@@zamar2158 that’s not true, i see them walking around in skirts with dicks hanging out all the time and flying rainbow flags. Sodom and Gomorrah couldn’t hold a candle to the west coast…

Yeah what’s up with those commercials? You would think the black make up like 95% of the population. What happened to every other group?

@@johnsmith-fk7fw so true…

YEEEEAH STOSSEL

I guarantee you that any "prestigious" university had been like that for at least 20 years.

Yep. Good luck with that business mission statement.

since when was disproportionality promoting blacks "diversity"

Newsweek just coined the term "diversitycrat" to describe "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" specialists.

"we want to pretend to not be racist bc we're very racist"

Imagine being the race that is constantly being babysat and pandered to. Liberals are the cringest people. Just look at the way they talk to black people in public. They change their tone and demeanor. You’ll see this happen 🤣

It's a great synonym. Also liked "Putting your own spin on something" instead of "lying".

LoL! "Congratulations! You're the diversity hire, Mrs Gay Black Hispanic person! With you on our hiring chart we're immune to expensive charges of discrimination. You weren't the best candidate to do the work you'll be assigned to, but you fulfill a grater purpose: you're a human meat shield against lawsuits."

@@geraldfrost4710 , Big Corp's are as bad as the old mafia guys, they have "no show jobs" , Companies hire people not to do any work, just to check off the right boxes, and we wonder why the country is failing

amen

@@schmidtythekidd lmao..

that's how a racist spin it. Harvard are racist, plain and simple

He kind of made sense of it to me but I still disagree with the policy. Im just not sure good will come from this constant focus on demographics.

For real, and then they get angry because less pEoPLe oF CoLOr will be in the schools. It's almost like a (once) prestigious educational institution should choose people based on intellect rather than their skin color.

@@uptheworker The people who agree with this PC culture have no spine. They are so gullible it hurts.

Right? They are saying racism is just fine, so long as it's used in conjunction with other factors to judge a person. Unbelievable. America can not work like that.

@@jamie6387 No spine, and/or no brain.

Yes it should. If people discriminate against blacks, you have to have a policy the remediates that.

Because it was a Democrat president who threw them in camps and they can’t openly acknowledge that.

Dude is literally admiting that they want "equality" by bringing other down rather than raising the others up

“Race conscious” that’s racism. Use all the newspeak you want it still is those things.

Praise be unto kek

Adam Carolla spoke about one time it's mathematically impossible to have a level playing field; all a government or organization can do is clear the playing field of any obstacles and then let us people get to work.

I am tired of schools having Bell curves which is what this testing nonsense is no matter what they want to call it.

Fancy and blatant at the same time.

So true. Take flowery lefties language and dissect it and you may get some meaning.

Got to love when they rename an idea to avoid the backlash...

and this is what liberals love to do. Take something that sounds bad and is unpopular and just start calling it something else in hopes that most people are too stupid to figure it out.

Just the new fancy word for diversity, quotas, or the old words... affirmative action.

I see what you mean. They force full blooded Asian Americans to work harder than then the other races that don't. It makes me wonder if they do this in regular jobs.

Disgraceful!

I got asian friends, I can see how it incites racial tensions and discriminates them and msm minimizes it and politicizes it.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

YOU THINK TO HIGH OF YOUR SELF.

Aye

'isn't that discrimination?' I'd like to call it blablabla. My thought: so it's discrimination.

Vastly under-rated comment.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Animal Farm, revised 7th Commandment

Can't really say that to a Jewish guy though...which Holzer is.

They don’t call it “discrimination” if it’s against whites and asians in order to give blacks and latinos an advantage and uphold the “diversity” agenda to supposedly make things more “equal.”

What country are you from?

I'm pretty tired of hearing about black power like it's not racist.

If you think that being considered less capable than others and therefore being required less in an admissions process just to fill the university quota is a privilege

No such thing

@@visekual6248 When you say "considered less capable" it suggest your implying that blacks and asians were doing equally as well before because the word 'considered' implies that it's purely based on some racial bias and nothing else.

@@visekual6248 If a person gets in with Lower or Fewer Qualifications, they are in a PRIVILEGED Position. That according to the definition of privilege prior to CRT and the general Marxist "newspeak" of recent years

That was the PERFECT quote. Dang.

Judge people based not on the color of their skin but based on their character like MLK wanted

The exact quote I was looking to re-quote. This is GOLDEN!

Golden quote

Me too! When will these wokester, virtue-signalers finally get the message that they're actually big creeps?

Problem is isn’t not called the justice system anymore, so never expect it

Basically every university has this kind of race-based discrimination in the US. The biggest unacknowledged racial discrimination scheme in America.

@@dserv ...and it has for decades. I experienced it first-hand 30 years ago.

Yeah, they're discriminating against the wrong race. This is America. White should require the highest test scores. Duh

Let's hope he doesn't switch over to the liberals side when this case makes it to the Scotus.

Yeah, you can count on Roberts like sitting on a chair built from matchsticks

That is an interesting metaphor. If one levels the playing field, then everyone starts on equal ground. What Harvard is trying to do is level the finish line buy handicapping the lower performers. Much like golf. Just because a person with less skills finishes 1 competition equally, doesn’t mean that that person is 1) equal in that event and 2) that that person will be equal in the future. Is it that these people can’t see that or do they simply ignore reality?

Playing field ? How about leveling NFL, NBA, Field and Track ?

They can level the playing field by forming a study group and working hard.

Basically "It's not _just_ racism!"

But then like they say if race was not a factor Hispanic and Black student population would decline and then people would sue them for discrimination against Black and Hispanic applicants.

@@Sant270 equity is a poison.

As pointed out in a video of Campus Reform, there should be the same exact racial quotas present on all sports teams. Every sports team should be forced to be made up of players that match the demographics of the areas that they are located. If blacks make up 20% of the population; then they should be limited to only having 20% of the team be black. Same for whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Why should sports be allowed to be solely based on abilities when the schools admissions are not????

@@Stevarooni it's not

SAME

Staring all the mainstream networks in the face, yet none cover it, and if they would, it would be just a blip before a commercial so they could say, "we covered that" CNN,MSNBC wont pursue, since it would look anti-affirmative action, and FOX wont cover it because it would look anti-affirmative action. FOX of course would be called racist for bringing to light the obvious disparities between requirements.

It's so refreshing. He always takes the "opposition" side of any expert he is talking to, regardless of his personal feelings. Present the facts of both sides and let the audience decide for themselves.

A cultural emphasis on education, too.

It’s mostly true (as an Asian) but it’s also true mostly for all legal immigrants. The same goes for education.

Well that explains why I was doing bad in school. My small family wasn't much help and there was no bond

I think it's true of most immigrant families. In the book Millionaire Next Door. It talks about how first generation immigrants tend to be very productive but then second and third generation become lazy 🙄 so they need fresh immigrants constantly to advance the economic engine.

@@ktefccre It’s true with societies also how many generations it is from very bad times. Even with China I’ve heard farmers are having a hard time recruiting people to work the fields even with above average wages.

Unfortunately, some tribes are just jealous, lazy, and feel entitled to receive for nothing what others must work their arses off for, for years!!!!!

Nice avi and user name,,,,🤪

It's very easy to work harder when you live in a two parent home, in a nice neighborhood, surrounded by peers that are also motivated by higher education, et cetera. If someone comes from "the hood" and manages to apply at Harvard despite their upbringing, I think that deserves to play some role in the selection process.

@@Rosenzweigjcb so all black people are from the hood and aren't motivated by higher education? and there are no white people that grew up in single family households or in the hood? That's why these things should be based on individual merit, not race.

@@Rosenzweigjcb I understand what you mean but I disagree, I live in Costa Rica, my country's best universities dont care about your race nor your upbringing, only your score, students work hard for this score, some come from poor families and study hard while also keeping a job, you know what? They succeed, why? Because they know that being accepted is a great chance to succeed, to get their mom and siblings out of a poor or dangerous neighborhood, also you basically didnt mention race, you talked about "apartments" and having two parents, which I still disagree with but even if I didnt ¿who's to say an Asian kid doesnt live with a single mom struggling to give him a good life? ¿Or that a black kid lives on a nice home with two loving and wealthy parents? ¿Should we assume their family situation based on their race? ¿Or make a study and give advantages to those kids with a dificult upbringing? So basically that leads us to the starting point, we should only judge by who has the necessary score, who put the studies and the effort necessary to be accepted and whi didnt

How else do you expect the people to embrace tyrannical government?

Leveling the playing field by discriminating a certain group of race.

Ain't socialism great?

They aren't leveling the playing field they are sabotaging the contestants.

By that logic, we should level the playing field in the NBA and NFL with racial quotas. It would be great for business. Ratings and merch sales would skyrocket not only in America, but also in Latin America, Asia, and Europe.

It’s not racism it’s discrimination.

@@edwinnaranjo9435 same thing. youre discriminating based on race. thats the literal definition of racism. just saying. i think the word racist/racism is dumb is meaningless now but thats what this type of discrimination is. im sure youre simply coming from a place where anything that is bad that happens to asians or whites is okay. mr "naranjo."

@@edwinnaranjo9435 And that is called semantics. It's the same thing.

@@edwinnaranjo9435 Racism is a type of discrimination. When you order lunch, you're discriminating between the options in front of you. When you hire an employee, you're discriminating between their characteristics and those of the alternatives. Discrimination isn't wrong, it's an unavoidable and critical part of existing. RACIAL discrimination is wrong because it assumes someone's capability and value based on some fictional, meaningless group they belong to, which has no bearing on who they actually are as an individual in any way that matters. To value such irrelevant aesthetic and genealogical characteristics in that way is racism, pure and simple. Ben Carson is not Dr. Dre, Yao Ming is not Xi Jinping, and John Stossel is not Klaus Schwab.

@@cheesemccheese5780 cute how you answered for him

There once was a time we accelerated the brainiacs and awarded them for it now we have NY removing accelerated programs due to feelings, and the sub-races can't do it. Yeah, I said sub-races because when they say the minorities can't do it they are being racists AF and basically classifying them as sub-races. Why are the left so blatantly racist?

Every Chinese parent in mainline China wants his or her son or daughter to attend an American university and a good one at that. There are three times as many actual Chinese parents than Americans, and they are known to buy essays and test scores (with success). What happens if Harvard does become Chinese and most of those are foreign? America would lose the only thing that gives them merit to the outside world: the education system that it has invested too much in. If it loses Harvard, that is just a nail in the coffin. They have already dug the burial plot.

@@miastrong151 Stop with the white knighting for Harvard and your anti Chinese hate. You are posting this dribble all over these comments.

@@generalawareness101 she has a legitimate concern about China and some of it's people. I also have concerns if a large population of Chinese citizens start having access to the education system. There's already been a lot of issues with professors taking money from China

@@troyhenry6111 Look, if they really are the brightest then why are they? Stop hurting a group of people, a race, because of reasons. Figure out why they can do far better and fix it. If you have issues with the CCP then yeah, so should everyone, but stop with the Asian hate. FFS we whites even have it rougher than the other races due to what? See, this is where the issue lies, because I want these leftists to say it. I know I have heard it in private, but I want them to say it in public. They say because they just can't, they are inferior. BOOM, get the hell out of here with that nonsense. You should never bring down a group to prop up another, and that is that.

I can answer. Entitlement. They all think they are entitled to success in life, to good jobs, happy marriages, kids, etc. They don't see themselves as entitled to be NFL quarterbacks though. So they can't possibly rationalize the fact that some of them might not deserve their stupid degree.

That is a great example. Part of it is the students know the consequences of handling the football team that way would be clear, more losses. The consequences of affirmative action are hidden, so they can virtue signal and ignore it. It doesn't even matter that there is data suggesting placing black students into higher level colleges than they have prepared for increases their drop out rates and rate of swapping to easier majors.

The the USA Academic achievement is way down on the priority list, when compared to the realm of Sports, or any entertainment/amusement for that matter...

😅 I used to get really worked up about it but then I watched Harold and Kumar (yes, that stoner movie) and that one scene where the guy explained why he's calm about all the crap really settled it for me.

Conservative asians are calm about it. Liberal activist asians, like the baizuos, are unfortunately very obnoxious when it comes to social justice bs and won't shut up about it. It's more of an ideological issue.

It's because they know "Respek" isn't all they have.

And break their back by the time their 40. Plus you have to "pay your dues" before you can earn 6 figures, if you ever do. Most people earning 6 figures in the trades own their own business and might even hire other contractors to help do work. I appreciate deviations from traditionally sponsored career choices but let's not act like the trades are all roses and daisies either.

One thing that COVID has uncovered via lockdowns / stay at home, is that many jobs can be performed remotely. I would not be the least bit surprised if the companies, with workforces that are now working remotely, start to send those jobs to remote workers in other countries where wages are a fraction of wages in the USA. When that begins to happen, the trades, where the worker has to physically be present locally, will start to be the jobs that people will train for. There will still be many university educated workers using their education in the USA (doctors and dentists for example), and those will be jobs that require the worker to also physically be present locally.
