Also, quit calling me a racist.
I'm quite carefully not, as you would note if you were a more able reader. I am saying that you uncritically accept and repeat racist arguments. If you actually read the Executive Orders, for example, you will discover that it is illegal to give a job to somebody less skilled on the grounds of race.
Regardless of employee skill, yes yes. If a contract is of an ethnic minority, they will be given preference over those of equal skill but more common ethnicity.
Wriggle, wriggle, worm. That's not "regardless of employee skill", is it? It's "in cases of precisely equal skill". You're trying to change your argument, which was blatantly expressed in your first link to right-wing ideology site:
But this is precisely the system demanded by the NAACP. Blacks are specifically targeted for hiring--before any individual actor or writer has even been interviewed for the job, before anyone has assessed the quality of his work, and before anyone has determined whether any particular black person is the best candidate for the position. The message is crystal clear: All these considerations--that is, considerations having to do with individual merit--are irrelevant. The only thing that is supposed to matter is that these writers and producers have dark skin--and will therefore be hired, not because they can do the work but because they "represent" their racial group.
The favouring of unqualified candidates over qualified candidates is not in fact affirmative action according to EO11246. Under the law as written in Executive Orders and interpreted by the courts, anyone benefiting from affirmative action must have relevant and valid job or educational qualifications.
Also, you have now brought up feeling guilty for the actiions of your forefathers. The Executive Orders also exclude action in order to redress historical inequality from the field of Affirmative Action. You ought to read up on this. It will make it look more as if you are not parroting unexamined arguments. |
