Affirmative Action

Affirmative action has nothing to do with including nor excluding. It's not about discrimination. Affirmative action is about symmetry and asymmetry, equally and inequality, majority and minority. If there were no racism in the U.S., there would be no need for affirmative action. Unfortunately, most educated people agree that racism is a dangerous and divisive problem in the U.S. Those who say that there is no racism in the U.S., are either unconscious racist's, or they have a crazy definition of the word "racism." The clansmen and Nazis realize that there is a great deal of racism in the U.S. However, they think that all the racism and discrimination in the U.S. is only against White people.

According to Google, Whites are 52% nationwide and only 37% in California alone. By projection, it's probable that in one generation, Whites will be a minority in the U.S. Whites are already a minority in California. I have a White friend who works in a large government agency with many workers. He says that he is the only White person in the whole company. He says that everybody else is Black, Hispanic and one Armenian. There are many huge regions of California where there are so many Hispanics that the shopkeepers have to put out a sign that says: "English is spoken here." Once I tried to get a job as a driving teacher in Huntington Park, California. All of the teachers there were Cuban. I didn't see any Blacks or other races there; not even Black Cubans. At the interview, the director turned me down because he said that I spoke "broken" Spanish. At that time, I had recently graduated from UCLA, with a B.A. degree in Spanish. Cubans believe that they speak the best and most correct Spanish in the world. This is a normal human belief among all races. It's called ethnocentrism. I used to have this belief before I started college. But after many years in colleges, universities, living and working in many countries in western and eastern Europe, including Turkey, I came to the same belief as Rick Steves of P.B.S. That all countries are equal. There is no superior country; not even the country that Rick Steves lives in, i.e., the U.S.A. He says that the objective of his films is to teach the U.S.A. that there is no superior country. Blacks and Hispanics can be very clannish and nepotistic. Whites will be a minority in the U.S. Most businesses will be owned or operated by Blacks and Hispanics. Unfortunately, most Whites will be driven to welfare. They will be lumped up as a monolithic caste with the stereotype of being lazy. That they don't want to work. That they want something for nothing. That they think that society owes them something. UNLESS, Whites use the affirmative action laws to force all Black and Hispanic businesses or universities to hire or enroll White minorities. This will be the only way for White minorities to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and get themselves out of welfare.

In 1978, Allen Bake sued the regents of U.C. Davis on the grounds that the university discriminated against him for being White. In 1978, U.C. Davis had an affirmative action program of having a quota of admitting 16 minority students in the U.C. School of Medicine. In spite of these 16 minority students, the School of Medicine still had hundreds of White students. So why did Allen Bakke sue the university for racial discrimination? Hundreds of White students and 16 minority students doesn't sound like discrimination to me unless he meant that the discrimination was against minority students. Either way, the Supreme Court ruled against the university, and Allen Bakke was admitted in 1978. This was the same year that I was admitted to UCLA. However, his g.p.a. was 3.6. My g.p.a. was 3.8.

In 2003, U.C. Davis vs. Allen Bakke was overturned by Grutter vs. Bollinger. The Supreme Court ruled that Barbara Grutter was not discriminated by the University of Michigan because of racial discrimination. The Supreme Court ruled that the University of Michigan has the right to admit students not just by test scores or a high g.p.a., but by a balance of racial diversity, that reflects its community.

Now, I have a few questions for all the Trumpers. When the next generation of White people become the minority in the 2040's and 2050's, and all the Ivy League universities become 95% Black and Hispanic, would it be acceptable for you if such universities were to turn down White students because the university has already filled its quota of 16 While students? Since high schools now have large majorities of Black and Hispanic students, the percentage of gifted or high achieving Blacks and Hispanics have trumped the percentage of gifted or high achieving White students. Should these White minority students be denied admission to universities because most White students don't have g.p.a.'s as high as the majority Black and Hispanic students?

I'm not talking about now. I'm taking about the 2040's and 2050's. I'm taking about White people who are now children in kindergarten. When most huge corporations become owned or managed by greedy, clannish, nepotistic Blacks and Hispanics, should White people use the affirmative action laws to get a foot in the door, or should they just acquiesce on welfare and ignominiously put up with pompous or smug Black and Hispanic big shots saying that White people are "lazy." That "they want something for nothing." That "they think that society owes them something." That "they have a propensity to commit crimes." Would that be acceptable to you Trumpers?
