So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.
Way to go, SCOTUS. /s

If I suppressed your people’s ability to create generational wealth for hundreds of years and suddenly stopped, would that be enough? Is everything better now? Or should you be compensated in some way?
Compensated at the expense of whom though?
The taxpayers? Sure, there’s an argument for reparations and pumping money into forcing systemic change.
College students competing for a limited number of slots to schools? I’m less convinced of this, it’s a zero-sum game where if you’re admitting one person you’re denying others from that slot.
IMO there’s probably better ways you could incentivize colleges to aim for a diverse student body that would be more equitable. The goal should equality of opportunity, not equality of outcomes.
Affirmative action is an opportunity, the opportunity to go to a prestigious college.
It’s not equality outcomes.
Equality of outcomes would look like UBI.
@EffectivelyHidden UBI just puts a floor on how far one can financially fall, it improves the minimum possible outcome. It does not provide equality of outcomes. Some UBI recipients will have higher incomes and more wealth than others.
Certainly a better starting place than what we have now.
