The Onion is really struggling. They’ve basically become the counter mirror image of the Babylon Bee

.....because black people can't be expected to follow instructions from white people.
We’ve been GIVING black people white people’s money and power for 60 years in order to level outcomes, and it has only made the level difference larger. When can we expect that doing the same thing over and over again will produce some different outcome?
Affirmative action is merely one method which the leftist power elites have of keeping middle-class climbers from taking their places at the top. Give away their money, power and futures to people who haven’t earned it.
The system produces three classes of people with no incentive to perform. This country became great by incentivizing performance. Affirmative action and welfare have been the engines of our downfall.

Following World War 2 the U.S. economy exploded by orders of magnitude over other economies. It wasn't even close. Now?:.....
https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/economy/2022/12/26/china-to-overtake-us-as-worlds-largest-economy-by-2035/
---------------------------------------------
China is forecast to overtake the US as the world’s largest economy by around 2035, while India is expected to become the world’s second largest by 2075.
The two countries will be followed by the US in third place, according to a long-term outlook by Goldman Sachs.
“We expect that the weight of global GDP [gross domestic product] will shift even more towards Asia over the next 30 years,” Goldman Sachs economists Kevin Daly and Tadas Gedminas wrote in a 45-page report.
In 2050, the world’s five largest economies are projected to be China, the US, India, Indonesia and Germany.
Nigeria, Pakistan and Egypt could also be among the world’s largest economies by 2075, thanks to their rapid population growth, if they adopt “appropriate policies and institutions”, the report said.....

China is a centrally-directed socialist country. But China isn't using race as an excuse to confiscate wealth from rising classes, and using it to pay lower classes not to produce.
Yup, and boomers benefited 10-fold...now they are pulling the ladders up behind them.
Theyre also going away and the alumni are pissed. This holding will actually speed the legacy downfall.
It’s telling that you think “white people” want special treatment.
June 29, 2023 Supreme Court affirmative action decision
The Supreme Court ruled colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis in admissions — a landmark decision that overturns long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education.www.cnn.com
I think white applicants at Harvard etc will learn to hate this decision.
The vast majority of all people don’t want someone’s skin color to be advantageous over someone else.
Also, when you say “white people” who exactly are you referring to?
Swedes, Irish, Egyptians, Italians, spanish?
Affirmative action in the US, preferential admission and hiring of African Americans, has led to the (re)ascendency of China. OK.

Terry, listen to me. Do this for the white race. You may be Irish, but they're almost white.

Okay show me where...If by "it's" you mean dems in congress getting ready for it...okay, but that's about all that's going on.
BTW I support tightening down on any non-merit based admissions.
IMHO, if you want true racial equality, at some point this had to happen. I think the argument is when. Is this too soon? Is it always going to be too soon? If not, how do you determine when to abolish the concept? AA in perpetuity? 20 more years? Or now is the time?
Swedes are the only whites in that group.
But there are some really hot Egyptian, Italian, and spanish chicks.
So they get to come over to the party.
In real time you can watch Ivy alumni cry on college admission bb’s just like this one as their children with 4.4 Gpas get denied. “I’m done donating to Dartmouth!” “Princeton is no longer my alma mater!” “My son had to settle for Michigan and I’ve donated tens of thousands of dollars!”
And it’s largely because the Asian applicants are just too good to reject. Like I keep say, the big losers in the Harvard case are all the not quite good enough white kids.
AA doesn't matter.
It's the cost increase of college that is the relevant factor.
Everyone always gets sidetracked by the trivial.
Smart kids and rich kids are fine. No matter the race.
It's average poor kids that need a little help. No matter the race.
