So how would you know weather or not the black person was more or less qualified than yourself. You could only assume, and assumptions dont mean a damn thing.
And yes, i think AA is a nesassary evil. If people hired fairly, we wouldnt need it. ShunNakamura keeps saying that Quotas are not the way, but i dont see any other way. other than AA , there is no other way to make sure people hired fairly. If there was, i would be all for it, but there isnt. And on top of that, through out all of this, no one has even mentioned(cept for myself) thatAA works in reverse as well.
If a white college student wanted to go to a prodominately black college he's almost certain to get in over other higher qualified black students. Same goes for prodominately black work places. But not one even mentions that. That make is seem like its black peoples fault that we even have AA, but it was so the playing field would be fair. I personally think that if AA was suddenly ended, it would go back to being the way it was before. But Sas doesnt even think that racism is as bad as we say. On top of that, he used japan's racism as an example. But th thing about that is, the japanese dont like others based on Nationality. If you were japanese, you would be accepted. But in america, the racism is differnt. Im not another nationality, im American. But in america, they dont judge by Nationality. They judge you by skin color. Which is a differnt type of racism all together. Im not accepted in my own native country. Which i believe is a more dangerous type of racism.
