There is nothing to elaborate, women literally have made the biggest gains.

The irony in all of this is that the majority of the arguments against AA has always seem to focus on the racial aspect. Maybe it's because of idiocy or perhaps it's because of cowardace knowing that if they even so much attempt to touch the gender aspect of AA they will have their legs blown off instantly and die from blood loss politically and socially.
in the comments they say the SAT are rigged in favor off boys, because you know...patriarchy and shit
yes, but the tweet didn´t said that women benefited from AA, it said the opposite, that even with AA benefiting boys, girls still have more academic achievements and earn more degrees
How anybody can think that a discriminatory practice based on fulfilling designated racial quotas (aa) is not in and of itself discriminatory, blows my fucking mind

that just says women are more likely to get degrees, not that women benefit from affirmative action, as in women getting scholarships and jobs over better qualified men
this I'd rather live in a society where treating people as individuals is the standard than the one the left wants where everyone is constantly obsessed with race and gender and judging each other, even if it means I don't get special treatment.
I'm not responding to the tweet though. My original post (You) # is in response to this #.
Then my most recent post follows a request for clarification here .
Obviously the pic in op's post is bullshit which is why I don't even bother trying talk about it because it's disingenuous of the data being reported for the last several decades.
Because the original intent of AA was to address the issue of trust. The government told private businesses and schools to stop discriminating. A large amount of occurrences showed they didn't oblige and so you get things like AA and employee protection against racial and sexual discrimination to keep them in check. The intent was never to hand out free money but address economic disparities to make the national economy more cohesive than it previously was.
What a lot of people fail to understand is that AA did not appear in isolation but came about from a wave of demand for more defined civil rights that followed WW2 because it was such a united front on all demographics (large influx of minorities serving in the U.S. military, large influx of women working in production for military industrial complex, etc.). When the immediate aftermath showed respect was not being payed properly on all fronts, movements across the board from Veterans protection, right to access for higher education, housing rights, women in employment, protection against racial discrimination came about.
The non-foundational form of AA (or what the opposition views it to be reverse discrimination) comes from two key components. One related to the extension of the original movement, women's programs and one not related, ivy league sports scholarships built with the intent of having the best athletes represent a school for "institutional competitiveness" bleeding into state schools and increase participation minorities (many blacks) in sports.
yeah that´s my bad, i actually wanted some sources and the user delivered
thank user, i really want to understand a little better AA and you give me some good start
