Here's what you need to repeat to yourself until it really sinks in. Affirmative action policies are not a step up for lazy undeserving minorities.
They're not a step up at all...unless you consider stepping onto a level playing field stepping up. They don't exist so that some low score student can get into a program..but so that programs don't end up being a field of lily white faces for no reason other than the noted, historic, and current racial biases in selection. That's it, that's all. We noticed that programs and fields were so vastly unrepresentative of their applicant pool and the overall demographics of our country that we could no longer...in good faith..maintain that racism wasn't at play. All of this blah blah blah is the grounding logic for modern white supremacy in the us...and as much as you may sincerely believe it to be true, it was sold to you with peak cynicism. Just as our current admin is using asian students as a racial wedge. They don't actually give a fuck about asian students, or equality, or who deserves what. Support for "race blind" policies plummets in the face of an over-representation from exceptional asian students, for example. So consider, before you post your next trope...where they came from. Consider the likelihood of their being propagandists little white lies, lol.
