(June 27, 2014 at 9:25 pm)Blackout Wrote: As a law student that has debated cases of affirmative action, aka positive discrimination, I can tell you that in most cases (not all) I don't support it and it goes against any secular, democratic constitution. The problem is positive discrimination WILL negatively discriminate someone negatively as a side effect (for instance, a minimum of black people for a university regardless of skills will leave white people with more skills out, so they will be discriminated negatively). Equality means treating alike what is alike and differently what is different. I do agree that social minorities should be supported and given good conditions to live and put their kids in school, these kids should have extra school support themselves, etc. However from the moment you get a job, into college, etc, just because of your race, gender or religion that's when I start being against it. If my constitution states 'None shall be discriminated by reasons such as race, religion or gender' that goes both ways in my interpretation analysis, you can't benefit or prejudice someone, simply treat them alike.Is "positive discrimination" considered a derogatory or offensive term by advocates for AA. Just wondering if maybe they to recognize aa as discrimination.
