DEI Rant At Hearing: When Is It Enough?

And my take: All my adult life and well back into my youth, there has been this call for equity and so on. First in my memory was disruptive cross district bussing instead of actually upgrading the schols. Next in my maturing awareness was Affirmative Action with lowered standards and skewed college admission criteria (skewed away from performance).

But all that was in the 1960s. Itg has continued in different versions to the present day. . . .over sixty years now.

So my question is: ? When will it be enough? How long will low performing folks be jumped in line for college admissions and advancement in the workplace? All those early Affirmative Action admissions and hires have long since retired. They got their jump and so did their offspring. Sixy years later, or fourty even, should be enough. of a head start . . .two generations or so.

Chinese laborers were brought here in the 1800s to work on the railroads in the west. While they were not considered to be slaves the in the same legal sense that the southern blacks were before them. .the Chinese laborer, at the time called "coolies", were treated in nearly the same way and paid as much as (as little as) the freed blacks in the deep south and elsewhere.

Yet today, Asian Americans of nearly every ethnicity outperform most other American ethnicities in every economic and academic field. They are still routinely discriminated against in education but manage to thrive anyway.

When marginalized populations are no longer marginalized, then it’ll be enough.

I submit that the whining bout DEI is directly proportional to the loss of privilege by those populations are are not.

That said, someone is always being discriminated against.

You have erroneous assumptions; that is why you cannot arrive at a logical explanation for the events you mention.

So how did the Chinese become un-marginalized?

More recently:

How did the Vietnamese become un-marginalized?

Why is it that black people from Nigeria and the Carrabine Islands. do not think of themselves as marginalized?

How much line cutting and preferential treatment is enough? Sixty years of affirmative action is multi generational. At some point it should be enough.
