Oh, Christ. Another boring white boy complaining that affirmative action prevented him from getting that job he really, really wanted.
You can call it what you want. The fact of the matter is, you are bitter and resentful simply because you did not get what you want. No different from when black people complain that racism is bad because it causes them to not get what they want. Them damn mexi-cahns and dem damn wimmin. Ruining ar good ole boys.
You're mad because you did not get that job that you think you deserved? You think you had a right to that job? You think that you somehow psychically staked your claim on it? Too bad. Move on. Evolve. Adapt.
I have never once heard a medical doctor complain that their rightful job was denied them____]
(((Birthright, their rightful job that was betrothed to them, which they would ascend to upon reaching legal status. It was dangled in front of them, with promises of riches and luxury beyond their wildest dreams, only to be snatched away, ripped from their grasp, torn from their reach, ripped out of their hearts. Betrayal and despair, that's all it ever was, and now all that is left is a pile of broken dreams. To hear them talk, this is what they sound like.
I have never heard an engineer complain that a minority took his job. I have, however, met many white engineers who work alongside engineers who are minorities.
This is because there are enough of those math, science and technology jobs to go around. Or more accurately, there are more job positions available than there are people to fill those spots.
If a brown person comes in, no white person is displaced. It is because these are jobs that require genuine qualifications. The employment position has specific descriptors and credentials, signified with certifications, certifying exams. The jobs require quantifiable skills that personnel managers are looking for in potential candidates.
In the liberal arts type jobs, advertising, public relations, whatever, there are waaayy more applicants than there are jobs available. Waaayyy too many kids in college do not bother pursuing careers in math, science, engineering, or technology.
It seems that many companies have quota policies in place. So they have to hire a certain minimum number of minorities and women to fill their quota-percent requirements. There are waaay more job candidates than there are jobs; there are not enough jobs to go around. But they have to be politically correct so they have to implement aff-act.
Tell you what. I am going to wholeheartedly accept their offer of admission which I rightfully have earned. I am going to embrace it because I have worked to get into this program.
But if you so chose, you can go ahead and pretend to yourself that I only got accepted into rigorous courses of study due to Affirmative Action, and that it had nothing to do with my natural affinities for logic and reasoning skills.
You may go on and convince yourself of this if it makes you feel better. If you so desire to assuage your own feelings of inadequacy with this tactic, then great. If it helps calm your dreading suspicion that you are not as qualified and talented as I, then so be it. Go ahead and lie to yourself if it makes you feel better.
You wanna know why Bill Gates moved the bulk of his technical operations to India? It's because the States do not produce nearly enough graduates in computer science, computer engineering, any of those.
