Petition to Apply Affirmative Action to Basketball Team

>Many students support affirmative action, in an effort to promote diversity. They argue that race-based preferences “level the playing field” for disadvantaged minorities. However, these same students refused to sign our petition to apply such policies to the basketball team. At UC Riverside — where the video was filmed — 10/11 active players on the team are African American. Why not use affirmative action to promote diversity there?

This hypocrisy is ticking me off. How is athletic prowess different from intellectual prowess? Both require excellence, so why does academics have to suffer from Affirmative action?

I don't want a doctor who was chosen because of his race, I want a doctor who was chosen for his skill and ability. Same with sports. Why would I want to watch a bunch of retards play a sport if they were all chosen not for their ability, but for their race.

The 12 player team is just one of the college teams. Altogether it'd be more like 100, for all sports.

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Academic affirmative action is as stupid as athletic affirmative action. All positions should be chosen based on skill. A meritocratic system, not some bullshit feel good one.

>> No.3227642

That video was hard to watch. I dislike the idea of calling these people liberals because in actuality, they would better fit the 'Black Panther Movement.' Aren't these the same students that hold the views of race being a social construct and that it is only skin deep yet that definition differs when dealing with academics? I dislike affirmative action and enforced diversity. People should fall into place through their own decisions not race-based groups or ideas in their favour.

They're opposed to it because affirmative action is patently stupid, however there is not need to be politically correct when it comes to basketball, so they're allowed to say that they think that its stupid.

Think of the strawmen, they've suffered enough already.

Clearly racial diversity doesn't mean stacking a team with a majority of black people.

At its heart this isn't a race issue, its a class issue. Poor people have it tough regardless of their colour. From the get go they are dissuaded from higher education, to join the overcrowded unskilled workforce or criminal gangs.

This is why intelligent people can never really be incredibly sociable.

Because your intelligence causes you to discover the truth but society only concerns itself with what is comfortable. The facts are obvious, but their implications can be disconcerting and so instead of dealing with them like rational adults we just dance around the subject like retarded monkeys.

Because middle-aged, rich, white Republicans have finally gotten their head around the 60's and what exactly happened. So now they're pulling the whole "We're an oppressed culture because nobody will let us segregate or have slaves as guaranteed by the constitution" There's a nifty term that developed recently called "reverse-racism" that buttmad white people use when they get called out on their shenanigans. Giving opportunity to minorities somehow equates to taking away opportunity from them, in their minds. When not a single white person in this country has lost a single right during the Civil Rights movement.

>> No.3227799

all of these people push for the 'benefits of diversity', but i haven't seen anyone actually explain specifically what those benefits are. if pushed people will give some vague bullshit about 'unique perspectives' and how they somehow help, but isn't it strange that there hasn't been one shred of hard evidence to support the idea that diversity is a good thing, while there are mountains of hard data indicating it leads to problems.

look, if this magical diversity was a strength, companies would not need to fear lawsuits as they would already have said diversity.

funny that people who like to blame the failures of blacks and hispanics on nebulous white racism never seem to get around to explaining just why whitey loves asians so much, or how the per pupil spending for non-asian minority students in public schools exceeded that on white students in the late 80s and has been that way ever since.

affirmitive action isn't supposed to imply blacks are stupid, it's just supposed to help them in society. basketball is not society, it's just a trivial game. the most important part of AA is that it's only supposed to target minorities (not asians though). That's the key thing- minorities. That's its main purpose. Whites, as a whole, are not minorities in western society.

Because it relates to a wider social issue, it's about African Americans' place in society. Maybe I have been reading too many feminist blogs recently but I even would go so far as to say reverse discrimination is OK because minorities need a big push so that true equality can be reached.

Now if we start talking about doctors being given a position when they are underqualified, certainly that is a problem. As long as whoever comes out of whatever training course has actually reached the appropriate level then it's not a problem.

Anyway I just realised that affirmative action would have to apply to all sports, not just basketball, in which case it might even be a good idea to introduce it depending on the demographics. So uh yeah.

You think that lowering the standards to make black people seem better than they are is going to fix that? In reality it makes the ethnicities that are actively disadvantaged by AA bitter. It creates the racism you talk about. If I lost out on a university place (for example) to an ethnic minority who was a worse candidate I would probably become a little bit racist myself.

And when AA is in full swing, and certain minorities are disadvantaged by it, do they become eligible for double-AA to redress the balance? If not, why? Because of their skin colour? That is racism in pure form.

The Truth isn't politically correct. Racism nowadays is just another way of saying "You're being mean because you are smarter than me and I don't want to admit it"

People should be judged based on their intelligence, not on anything else.

Watch this video. Yes it's from an anime, but it is correct

While, I don't agree with hurting people because they are inferior, I also don't agree that people falling behind because of their own lack of intelligence is somehow hurting them.

You don't use tools from a shitty company just because they are a small shitty company and their tools need to be used or they'll go out of business.
You shouldn't have to hire people just because they aren't as good, and on average just because those people happen to be minorities, shouldn't mean you should have to hold back the business so you can carry these weaker ones.

Don't like my opinion? Tough shit. You're an idealist, and idealists do nothing but spout their shitty unrealizable dream of heaven on earth.

>I certainly agree that it's hard, but the racism felt by the minorities just makes it harder.
exactly how is it harder? is it harder by them having multiple organizations seeking to advance them at the expense of others? is it harder by them having lower standards to meet relative to most other people? is it harder for them because they have scholarships only open to them and not everyone else? is it harder because most employers will FIGHT over non-asian minority workers who are reliable so they can avoid lawsuits/stigma of not being 'diverse' enough?

>I mean if there are people out there who really think African Americans are less intelligent, don't you think that's going to hinder them getting a job?

on average, blacks in america have IQs that are about one standard deviation below the white average. this trend and gap is maintained in literally every possible standardized test that is used in this country (or the world). this means that yes, taken at random, you are likely to pick a less intelligent black than white or asian.

what people, especially race denialists, fail to realize, is that statement is not equivalent to "all blacks are not intelligent."

somehow, these things sound racist to people- they are 'hate facts'. the problem is, the only non-racist position is one that judges people solely on their own character and abilities without any respect paid to race at all. it's funny that the people who hold that belief are the ones denounced as being racist.

>> No.3228296

asians have admitted that they aren't as tall or strong or have bigger dicks than other races. but blacks can't do the same for intelligence. the thing is, if you're considered dumb, you're not likely going to get hired, and that means you're left with shitty jobs and a shitty life.

maybe society has to give blacks a chance and see if standardized tests aren't a good indicator for good work. this is done by "testing" blacks via AA. but i don't know about any studies researching the effects afterwards.

do you seriously not see the difference between large group averages, and individual performance? under a system where race wasn't a consideration, you wouldn't be hiring a race, you would be hiring an individual. under AA, you ARE hiring a race, not an individual, and the only end result is that people don't have nearly as much confidence in black doctors/engineers/lawyers/whatever, because it's assumed they are an AA beneficiary, even when their skills are more than adequate.

Here we see the results for the top 2% of the population by IQ for males. The top 2% includes all those who have an IQ of 130 or above.

As you can see, White males do significantly worse than their competitors.

Jews are the only ethnic group which has benefited from or escaped the consequences of the racial preference schemes enacted by our Federal Government.

All other White ethnic origins are grouped together in a very narrow range with outcomes very similar to the overall White gentile average.

So where are the undeserved privileges we hear so much about ??

>(it's not like minorities are inherently less intelligent)
The heritability of intelligence is now well established from numerous adoption, twin, and family studies. Particularly noteworthy are the genetic contributions of around 80% found in adult twins reared apart. And most transracial adoption studies provide evidence for the heritability of racial differences in IQ. For instance, Korean and Vietnamese children adopted into white American and white Belgian homes were examined in studies by E.A. Clark and J. Hanisee, by M. Frydman and R. Lynn, and by M. Winick et al. Many had been hospitalized for malnutrition. But they went on to develop IQs ten or more points higher than their adoptive national norms. By contrast, the famous Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study marked black/white differences emerged by age 17 even though the black children had been reared in white middle-class families (Weinberg, Scarr & Waldman, 1992).

Racists want affirmative action to continue, for them it's a massive propoganda coup.

The truth is affirmative action is illogical and most people see that, the only reason they don't vote against it is because they either view it as irrelevant or they are apprehensive concerning the number of racists foaming at the mouth over affirmative action. In fact, I view it much the same way, but that's not going to stop me criticising it.

It just isn't logical, the only reason people suport it is because they have strong feelings about the race issue and just want to see the government make a bold statement to prove they're on their side, unfortunately it is beginning to have a serious effect on education standards and may backfire horribly unless practices such as quotas start to fade away. Obviously if a factory that employs 200 only has 3 black employees there's something going on and affirmative action applies there, but then that sort of action is covered already by civil rights, which is totally logical.

How do you explain the fact that Black students from families with incomes of $80,000 to $100,000 score considerably lower on the SAT than White students from families with $20,000 to $30,000 incomes? How do you explain why social class factors, all taken together, only cut the Black-White achievement gap by a third?

the only valid reason i heard is that black people often go to disadvantaged schools and do not get grades reflecting their intelectual capabilities.

that being said i do not understand why these schools are not identified and the correction made based on schools rather than on skin colour.

another argument that could be made is that everyone benefits from racial diversity in a classroom but seeing how this is obviously a non scientific BS claim with no evidence to support it, I would say it is not valid either.

I can honestly say that I would never use a black doctor or lawyer.

Whether it's true or not, I would always be wondering in the back of my mind if they are there because of skill or AA, and when it comes to my health and the law, I wouldn't even want to chance it.

At lower level jobs, it helps minorities, but for more prestigious jobs, it is a major disadvantage that hurts the race more than it helps.

A friend who is in med school says no one wants to work with or partner with the black med students because everyone assumes they are less intelligent and only there because of AA.

I would consider that a major negative force for minorities.

>Culture-only theory cannot predict these facts
Sure it can. Why do you retards seem to think that culture is only dependent on family? Society pressures blacks to act like thugs and poor or middle class or upper class, virtually all blacks are exposed to this. Therefore, it is unsurprising that many blacks turn out to be thugs even if they're upper class.

Shitty studies that say "hurr durr well, blacks in white families still do worse than whites so it must be that they're inherently stupider!" don't even attempt to account for this, which is exactly why they're shitty.
