发帖数: 1208 | 1 Affirmative Action (AA) was first created to give a "leg" up to under-
represented minority to compensate for past racism and centuries of slavery.
It makes perfect sense during the civil rights movement.
However, in a multicutural and multiethnical world where the U.S. is
increasingly becoming majority minority state (e.g. California) and has a
current sitting president who is a minority, proponents of AA find it is a
very weak argument to convince the public that, for instance, black and
latino students with less academic credentials continuously need some extra
"leg" in this century to get into the same colleges as white and asian
students.
So now the argument has been changed to "diversity" - because we, as we were
told, benefit from so-called diversity, colleges still should admit black
and latino students with less academic credentials than white and asian
peers using racial preferences. Affirmative action must be in place to
achieve the goal of diversity. Does this argument hold?
