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.

 

mind clarifying your argument? I've done more than taken classes I've done research of journals and meta compilations. I want to know what you think you are right about.

 

Well.  If you've actually done your research you'd know a few things.

1) Black owners and managers would rather hire White people then Black people.  Are black people racist against themselves?  Reasons why often stem from culture issues.  Tied to race but distinctly different.

In general there is a prevelent belief... among most people that American black culture is somewhat self destructive at the moment and problematic.  It's not an unfair arguement.

Hence, why the interview process is important.  This is also where research tends to fall apart... since it's almost impossible to get credible research on a interview basis.  Most models that include an interview process tend to have huge flaws in it's research. 

When you take out the interview process the "culture" issue doesn't go away.  Culture is still a big worry.  As such people fall back on stereotypes.   Stereotypes exist for a reason.    The problem is when stereotypes come in play even after exposure to the person wanting to be hired.

2)  In some disciplines such as Law Affirmitive Action has been shown to hurt students rather then help them... as black students end up in Law schools "above their heads"... and tend to be in the bottom of their classes, and often drop out or fails the bar.

3) At one point racism against Asians was as bad as it was against blacks.  Currently asians are actually the "best" race to be a part of employment wise.  Pretty much everything but getting into a school.  Asians actually tend to get hurt most by Affirmitive Action.
