The last standing racist and segregation policy in the US has come to an end.

Not only will he argue the semantics, he'll do so while dismissing how very wrong this is, simply by saying a different word applies to it.

 

This will again be dismissed as "laughable". Apparently its funny to some people that asian individuals are discrminated against for being asian.

 

Thanks for the definition. It agrees with mine so it didn't help in any way.

 

It is the USSC that considered it an assault on representation.

This is about Republicans attacking democracy INSTEAD of attempting to appeal to the people.

 

Nope, just this.

Huh, don't see any mention of racism so I guess they ARE NOT INTERCHANGIBLE.

 

I was agreeing with you.

 

Only by your preferred definition (see the one for the other fellow posted that disagrees), and why is this terminology so important to you? You are playing semantic games to avoid recognizing how very wrong racial discrimination against asian applicants is.

 

AA is not racist.

 

You should have also looked up the Webster's definition of racism where it says they are.

racism
noun
1
: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

also- behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice

This is YOUR source!

And just like that, you shared with us a source that says you support racism. Bravo! Well Done!

It's not every day I read something on this forum that literally makes me laugh out loud. Thanks for the laughs to end the day!

Both Webster's and Thesaurus.com disagree with you. You self owned yourself and I'm still laughing at you trying to explain it away. Hahaha





You're forgetting to use the modifier "RACIAL" to specify the type of discrimination. A specific type or discrimination that just so happens to be interchangeable with racism according to YOUR SOURCE! This is the type of discrimination you are discussing!

This is too hilarious!

Please stop! My sides! Thanks for reminding us that according to the source that you want us to use you are in favor of racism!

 

No I didn't.

It is exlicit discrimination against individuals based on their race. You can can label that however you want. and it doesn't make it any less bad. Playing semantic games to distract from this injustice is disgusting.

 

You guy's are the ones playing games, your labeling AA as racist to make it out to be evil.

 

That's cute, keep pretending you're not talking about racial discrimination

 

Why is racial discrimination against Asians acceptable to you? Please explain in detail why you support telling Asian kids that their race has bad personalities so they shouldn't be accepted into college like these universities were doing. Imagine if these universities were telling Black kids that they have the least likable personalities of all the races so they should be accepted into college at significantly lower rates than their qualifications. I assume you would also support this, right? You would have to in order to be ideologically consistent. And whether you support doing it to Black kids or Asian kids it's still racist. The Supreme Court was clear on this issue and the Civil Rights Act as well as the Constitution forbids it because racism is evil and wrong.

The fact that you're trying to pretend you aren't talking about racial discrimination to shield your cognitive dissonance over supporting racism tells it all. The problem with affirmation action in college admissions is that there's no proof there is an academic benefit like they claim and there is no way to implement it without being racist. College admissions is a zero sum game. In order to give to one you have to take away from another. And when you're playing that game with two marginalized groups you must resort to explicit racism to put it into action. Your indifference towards putting your finger on the scale to harm Asians says it all. And, you haven't been able to defend your position in any manner other than pretending you're advocating for "discrimination" while ignoring the blatant fact that you're advocating for "racial discrimination." And racial discrimination according to Webster's, YOUR SOURCE, says that's racism.

 

Totally wrong.

 

You refuse to address what we actually write, and prefer to bicker over semantics. That really says it all. You see no issue with discriminating agaisnt individuals based on their race, so long as you call it something other than "racism"....

 

They will never address the bolded. They dodge it constantly because they KNOW it is wrong but dare not say so.

I find it disgusting, and I ask all to not generalize this to liberals at large. There are still plenty of us who recognize that racial discrimination against indivuals is unacceptable. I won't paint the whole right as white supremacist and ask you not to paint the whole left as .... this.

 

Nope, using discrimination to promote restitution for past systemic discrimination is just.

 

As long as those being discriminated against are white, it's okay right?

 

How it is restitution? Restitution to whom from whom and for what past wrongs? Please explain this without mistaking one person for another based on their race.

 

Please point out where I said white.

 

Who do you think is responsible for these things that you perceive restitution is due from?
