Affirmative Action Banned!

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-09 21:25

My state (Michigan) has wisely followed in the foosteps of California and banned racist/sexist affirmative action programs in Michigan, that would have discriminated against people based on nothing but their gender or the color of their skin, all in the name of promoting equality.  

It passed by a pretty wide margin 58% - 42% of the vote.. or, another way of looking at it: 

2,137,574  ---  YES on stopping AA
1,552,459  ---  NO on stopping AA

Hopefully this'll spread like wildfire throughout the rest of the states.

Continuing.  Anyway, as the graphs should show you, this is not evidence of discrimination... this is to show you that income disparity among ethnicities is not evidence of discrimination, but rather evidence that links IQ, SAT scores, etc to prosperity.  The groups that score higher on tests on the average tend to be more successful on the average.  That isn't discrimination, that is meritocratic values.

I am not saying ALL people of a given ethnicity score poorly, or that all people of a given ethnicity score well.  These are just averages, and I am simply pointing out their correlation with the income disparity AC pointed out, which he claimed was clearly evidence of discrimination.  These charts prove that it is NOT discrimination.
