BTW sqrl,
I think you would be interested in the result of implicit attitude tests.
meta-studies of hundreds of different studies like these show that a very large amount of the population in USA have at least some unconscious racist bias against black people.
I'll look for the actual statistics... but these tests along with others are the whole basis of Equal Oportunity Employment and Affirmative Action. |
Affirmative Action is not about equality, it's about providing an unfair advantage to a specific population group. It perpetuates that unconcious racist bias that you even pointed out.
The more we treat a specific group as "special" the longer it will take for racism to dissipate.
|
Wow. you are clueless. Racism exists in other countries that don't have AA either like other 1st world countries. You really have no basis for your words and not only that, you will never even slightly teensy eensy weensilly concede that you may be judging based on your own views...
|
Are you really this thick? I said it perpetuates it. I didn't say it would disappear simply if AA didn't exist. I'm simply pointing out how it prolongs it due to the resentmnet the special treatment generates.
Go ahead and add to your sig but you're the one going to look silly about it.
You're a Psych major, you should know better.

I do know better, than you. It was one of the most racist things I've read by someone who claims they aren't racist. But hey, that's the kind of racism that is called "unconcious bias", and it is actually very common.
Because you've been conditioned to believe that AA perpetuates racism, even though the same racism exists throughout the world. Obviously something besides AA perpetuates it.
Studies have shown that employers unconsciously prefer white males over everything else. AA does not perpetuate it compensates. I really cannot believe you won't even budge in your thought. You are 100% sure that you are right and you don't care about anything else.

Have you had your "race and gender" psych class yet? When you do you'll understand why your interpreting the studies wrong.
