See its very paradox to say, we need to act racist because racism exists instead of trying to end it by the root. You can't fight fire with fire, it's as simple as that. And that's not just my opinion. Wake up people
Is affirmative action racist in your eyes?
Is that what you are trying to say? Your points seem vague.
If so, then yeah, you're most likely wrong.
We, humans fight fire with anything that can fight fire effectively. There is a technique where wild fires are stopped by setting a controlled fire to use up he fuel for the wild fire and provide a gap in the wild fire's path.
Affirmative action is good, as long as racism exists, to level out the differences in the material conditions and to provide empowerment to stand against racism.
Yeah, this is pretty much their bit. "Policies aimed at correcting historical trends of racial disparities are racist, actually." It's such a stupid argument that I can't believe anyone makes it in good faith.
