Fascinating that non-jewish whites are actually the least proportionally represented. I've never heard that mentioned anywhere before.

Wasn't that the whole idea of affirmative action?

My understanding was that affirmative action was supposed to correct the under-representation of minorities by eliminating the over-representation of non-jewish whites. Not that it was designed to under-represent them.

Stated vs actual goals. Listen to the rhetoric of the people who campaign for affirmative action and then judge what they'll really do, not what they say they'll do.

Seems your understanding is totally out of touch with SJW/Woke wave sweeping across the world. Pointing out statistics may brand you as apologist of racism, perpetuating while privilege etc.

Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. Going down that road always leads to worse discussion and damages the container here.

Seems your understanding is drunk and lost all of its tact earlier in the night.
