At Investment Business Daily I read the most remarkable article regarding California's College admittance. Well diversity alone is not good enough for some liberal education specialists. Seems like since California's Proposition 209 in 1996 outlawed racial discrimination in college admissions - guess which racial group gets admitted at the highest rate by some 38 to 55% even though they compose only 13% of the state's population? Asians. And guess what Asians do more than whites, Latinos and blacks? THEY STUDY hard!
Well according to a high ranking University of California administrator this is too boring. So, now they want to lower Asian enrollment by backhanded means...anything to get more Latinos and blacks who DO NOT study as hard (if at all) into colleges. What blatant racism! College is for people who take their education seriously not for the dullards regardless of what color their skin is. Asians should fight back - I know I'll back you...
...When there are policies that emphasize and reward academic achievement, Asians excel. College officials and others who are proponents of "diversity" and equal representation find that outcome offensive.
To deal with the Asian "menace," the UC regents have proposed, starting in 2010, that no longer will the top 12.5% of students based on statewide performance be automatically admitted. Students won't have to take SAT subject matter tests. Grades and test scores will no longer weigh so heavily in admission decisions.
This is simply gross racial discrimination against those "dull" Asian students who "study, study, study" in favor of "interesting" black, white and Hispanic students who don't "study, study, study."
This is truly evil and would be readily condemned as such if applied to other areas lacking in diversity.
With blacks making up about 80% of professional basketball players, there is little or no diversity in professional basketball. Even at college-level basketball, it's not unusual to watch two teams playing and there not being a single white player on the court, much less a Chinese or Japanese player.
I can think of several rule changes that might increase racial diversity in professional and college basketball. How about eliminating slam dunks and disallowing three-point shots? Restrict dribbling? Lower the basket's height?
These and other rule changes would take away the "unfair" advantage that black players appear to have and create greater basketball diversity.
But wouldn't diversity so achieved be despicable? If you answer yes, why would it be any less so when it's used to fulfill somebody's vision of college diversity? Read here
