first of all, white women have benefited from affirmative action more than any other group. are your female white friends experiencing that same imposter syndrome and distrust? did you even know that that was the case? did they? most POC snap back at the white people that question their credentials, not take our hurt feelings out on one of the most effective social justice policies in American history.
second of all, as an actual person of color who was one of 5 POC out of 478 people to get their masters degree in my program, i’d love to learn more about how AA caused more of the problem it’s meant to address. hard to get imposter syndrome when you’re still too disadvantaged to get actual opportunities, lmfao.
also I’m not gonna lie, you saying “blacks” makes me highly doubt you have friends of color regardless. if you do I’m surprised they haven’t told you that using that as a term is uh. I’m gonna go with “eyebrow-raising”

yeah, but lets be honest, they really shouldn’t be
which is another part of why it isn’t useful
you doubting the “color” of my friends means nothing, it’s an example and certainly the most prominent one historically used in regards to research and implementation of affirmative action, at least historically
If that offends you, that’s very much a you problem
Eh, them using “blacks” in the context of making fun of the thought process behind affirmative action doesn’t really mean much. It being insensitive and eyebrow raising is the point, as that’s how the person sees affirmative action.
I don’t care lol. Not only do I disagree with that, the comment was still incredible stupid, inaccurate, and every other aspect of this users behavior in other comments has been embarrassing and shown a clear lack of understanding about Affirmative Action as a concept. Beyond this, they ignored every other aspect of this comment in their reply, which further confirms to me their lack of arguing in good faith.
