A MTV survey found something shocking about Millennials: 88% think affirmative action policies are unfair. Translation: 88% of Millennials are racist, or something. Well, at least that’s probably how the folks at MSNBC will take it. […]

It’s because they have been victims of it first- hand in college apps. They know that if they could just mark the right color box, they would have a huge leg up in the admissions process.

I wonder if they realize that is how Obama got to be Dear Leader?

The millennials know that discrimination by race, color, creed, and sexuality is over. They are right. Therefore if any of the above are given advantage they know that is discriminatory against others.

The millennials will not tolerate discrimination. Discrimination with the exception of reverse discrimination is over.

Very simply, the millennials got it. They do not tolerate discrimination.

I think this goes to show how tired of racial BS, PC etc they are. They’ve been fed this crap their entire lives “White privilege” racial pandering, blatant hypocritical discrimination against whites

A poll and a voting booth at least gives them the freedom to say FU to this BS. I’d be mad as hell if I was one of them.

This kind of polls gives me hope for the future, that young people aren’t hopelessly liberal.

I look forward to their input on tax and spending issues, when they go to work, and see how much they pay in taxes. Then when they start to think of what they are getting for their tax dollars.

88% of millenials.

Blacks make up 13% of the population.

87% of the population are racists. 1% are Uncle Toms.

Was it Juan Williams who said this weekend while discussing the New York Times situation “People are against affirmative action but have no problem with patronage”?

Hmmm. I guess that means its "inevitable" that affirmation action will end in the United States, and liberals pushing those policies are "on the wrong side of history", right Democrats?

I’m probably on the leading edge of having been among the first subject to affirmative action my entire adult life, from college onward. Any residual bias against minorities or women in hiring has long since been beaten out of the system, replaced by a bias in favor of minorities and women.

The bias was the problem and a different sort of bias is still the problem. Hire based upon merit. Hire the best candidate you can and don’t concern yourself with gender or race.

It’s not just millennials — every liberal / demwit I’ve ever been friends with who expressed an opinion about any kind of gov’t racial preferences was against it. Has something to do with graduating college and not getting a job in their field of study. :’) It’s one thing when alleged racism is allegedly carried out by alleged rich white males...

MTV not deep-sixing these results is as much a story as the survey results.

Also, "90% believe that everyone should be treated the same regardless of race [and] 70% believe it's never fair to give preferential treatment to one race over another, regardless of historical inequalities. (65% for POC [people of color], 74% for White)."

Maybe 90%....
