What myths about affirmative action do you believe?

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:16:17 +0000

Myth 1: The only way to create a colorblind society is to adopt policies daltonici.Anche if this seems intuitively plausible, the reality is that color-blind policies often put racial minorities at a disadvantage. For example, ceteris paribus, systems of color-blind seniority tend to protect workers against dismissal of white working because older workers are generally white because of historical discrimination. Similarly, the college admissions colorblind white students because of their earlier educational advantages. Unless preexisting inequities are corrected or not taken into account, color-blind policies do not solve racial injustice – that rafforzano.Mito 2: Affirmative action is not successful in increasing women’s representation and minoranze.Diversi studies have documented important gains racial and gender equality as a direct result of affirmative action. For example, according to a Labor Department report of the United States, affirmative action has helped 5 million minority members and 6 million women of the white minority and advance in employment. Similarly, a study sponsored by the Program Office of Federal Contract Compliance showed that federal contractors (who had to take affirmative action goals) added Black and White officers and directors of women at twice the rate of non-entrepreneurs . There were also a number of well documented cases in which large companies (eg AT & T, IBM, Sears Roebuck) increased employment of minorities, following the adoption of policies of action 3 affermativa.Mito: positive action was needed 30 years ago, but the playing field is fairly level oggi.Nonostante progress, the playing field is anything but level. Women still earn 76 cents for every dollar men. Blacks still have twice the unemployment rate of whites, largely due to discrimination, according to data collected by EEOC.Mito 4: The public no longer supports affirmative action. Polls show most Americans support positive, especially when the polls avoid an all or nothing choice between affirmative action in its current form and not any affirmative action. For example, a CNN / Time found that 80% of people consider “affirmative action programs for minorities and white women should continue at some level.” What the public opposes are quotas, set-aside, and “reverse discrimination.” For example, when the same poll asked people whether they favored programs “requiring businesses to hire a specific number of shares or of minorities and women, 63% opposed such a plan. As these results indicate, most members of the dissident racial preferences that violate notions of fairness – is not contrary positiva.Mito Action 5: A large percentage of white workers lost if affirmative action is not the government support continuato.Statistiche this myth. According to the Department of Commerce of the United States is 1. 3 million unemployed black civilians and civilian employees 112 000 000 White (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2000). So even if all unemployed blacks in the U.S. . were going to move a white worker, only 1% of whites would be affected. Moreover, affirmative action only applies to applicants for skilled jobs, so the actual percentage of affected Whites would be a fraction 1%. The main sources of employment loss among workers have to do with factory relocations and labor contracts outside the United States, computerization and automation, and corporate restructuring. Two white are all qualified for the positions they hold?! No.Mito 6: If the Jews and Asian Americans can rapidly advance economically, African Americans should be able to make the comparison stesso.Questo ignores the unique history of discrimination against blacks in the United States. As a historian Roger Wilkins said, blacks have a history of 375 years of this continent: 245 slavery, 100, legalized discrimination, and only 30 involving anything else. Jews and Asians, on the other hand, are populations that immigrated to America North and included doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen in their ranks. Moreover, European Jews are able to work as part of the white majority. Wait black to show the same upward mobility as Jews and Asians is to deny the historical reality social and blacks faccia.Mito 7: You can not cure discrimination with discriminazione.Il problem with this myth is that it uses the same word – discrimination – to describe two very different things. employment discrimination based on prejudice and exclusion, that affirmative action is an effort to overcome prejudicial treatment for inclusion. The most effective way to cure society of exclusionary practices is to make a special effort of integration, which is exactly what affirmative action does. The logic positive discrimination

A Question About Jewish Persons And Historical Behaviour?

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:48:49 +0000

At no time ever does it seem to me the “Jew” has accepted the society they were in at the time
They were hated and persecuted in Europe – but I don’t think it started because the Eurpoeans rejected them
I think it was because they rejected the Europeans refusing to associated with the nation or the King etc they were in
So my question is
Does a Jew have a nationality beyond being Jewish ?
It seems to me they do not
They are a Jew – that happens to be somewhere – The US Canada Russia etc But they are never Russian’s or Canadian’s they are Jews
They recognose only themselves keeping seperate now and in the past from the society they find themselves in
Is this in part or in whole —–true ? Am I way off base ?
Is this in part or in whole the reason they have been so universally hated for so many thousands of years ?
To me it seems quite impressive that they have remained this seperate for this long – but I do believe it was thier choice first
