>>>University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman and admissions director Ted Spencer have decried the affirmative action ban, saying outright that the school cannot achieve a fully diverse student body with it in place.
“It’s impossible,” Spencer said in a recent interview, “to achieve diversity on a regular basis if race cannot be used as one of many factors.”<<<
a) Why is “diversity” more important than excellence and fairness?
b) Why is it “impossible”? That statement sounds racist to me, as it assumes that students of certain “races” are inherently inferior and unable to compete.
Agree. It ignores the “why” black students aren’t qualified in the first place. It is racist to say it is impossible. The underlying factor is the generational decay of family values in these communities. They’re perfectly capable human beings but so long as we celebrate the pop-culture that preaches harmful messages to our young there will be no change. For liberals, the “fix” is to admit unqualified candidates and force a system to “produce” minorities with a degree, which just lowers the standard and makes having a degree meaningless...which is unfair to those that graduate with meaningful knowledge.
Exactly!
Why is diversity race-based?
