    It’s not about someone coming last making first place. It’s about recognizing that grades and school performance is very much a function of the opportunities you’re afforded, the quality of education that’s available to you, and the support you receive. Hundreds of years of institutional oppression have prevented that kind of quality and support from reaching POC communities.

      Except it is about giving prefferential treatment based on some arbitrary set of rules to silence the collective guilt. Nothing more. It’s good that the thing is outlawed now.

          Ah yes, the everpresent “I don’t like what you are saying so I’ll gatekeep you”. Look at Europe and how it works there, and compare that to the US. A lot of countries banning prefferential treatment based on race, ethnicity, gender. The only allowed affirmative action is diverting more funding to schools that are in poor areas (therefore poorer schools). You talk about my little bubble and you can’t see that it is only present in the US, nowhere else, and inherrently unfair.
