Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action. Conservative activists say the decision should extend to all educational programs, and some groups have also challenged corporate diversity policies.
Affirmative action hurts people of other races. It makes it harder for asian kids to get into schools simply because of their heritage. It’s racist to think that every asian kid had a good upbringing and rich parents. Affirmative action is racist.
Looking at metrics like net worth would be a much more intelligent path forward. Rich kids don’t need help getting into school, poor kids do. It doesn’t matter if those poor kids are black, white, asian, or whatever. Look at money, not skin color. It’s really not that hard.
