There are scholarships for being black or a woman or poor and probably some gay scholarships too now
As a middle class straight white guy, I may have a harder time being accepted because of "diversity quotas"
State jobs in ny have minority quotas. There was a lawsuit in buffalo last year because the not one single black firefighter passed the promotion exam for the fire department. The department suspended all promotions even though several white guys passed. They sued for income lost because of a policy that prevented their promotion based on race. Courts ruled in their favor, it was weird.
I had a subscription to this magazine once and this star quarterback kid didn't get into a school that was his first choice because the board wanted more minorities than white people. ( which makes sense because minorities aren't really the minority, but they told him in the rejection letter it was because he was white )
in the city my mum grew up in, when she was young, there were almost no black children in her class. When he little sister got to the same age around 5 years later, there were only two other white children in her class-the rest were all black. in most first-world countries, at least education wise, it seems that black people get the same rights as whites- it's the opinions of individuals that do the most harm I think.
It's not just white people that are the problem. I live in a HEAVELY black and Mexican area and lots of times whenever I see someone speak in proper English their friends are like " why are you talkig like you're white ? " and like, they're causing them to think that speaking right is acting out of their race.
this is a true problem. people think that because they're different, theyre better. for example, its ok for me to hate a gay guy(i dont) as long as i keep my mouth shut. same as its ok for me hate everyone else on this planet. as long as you dont treat them bad because of it. and if ur lgbt,im not gonna treat you better than a straight person, or worse for that matter. imma treat you like you deserve to be treated. THAT'S equal rights.
I remember this post from here from a long time ago. It was a puffin meme and it said something like: equal rights is equal opportunities not equal outcomes
Okay, let's say this again: this is about people not being treated like shit. Have you often seen white cis males being repressed in any way in a European or North-American country? Nope.
are you a white cis male? probably. also, trans people are people, not fucking dogs. it ins't like they don't have rights. unlike dogs. #isupportdogsrights
One, it's oppressed not repressed.
Two, putting others down to help yourselves doesn't make you look better. It makes you look mean. I mean, if someone is a bully and the reason they're a bully is because their home life is terrible you wouldn't excuse all their bad behavior would you ?
