They still do. They just dress it up and call it diversity now-a-days. Just look at college admissions for a good example.
What about college admissions?
There was a entire court case and everything. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard#:~:text=Students%20for%20Fair%20Admissions%20v.%20Harvard%2C%20600%20U.S.,Equal%20Protection%20Clause%20of%20the%20Fourteenth%20Amendment.%20
TLDR: College Admissions / Affirmative Action were racist, and probably still are.
Well, I think college admission should be done entirely by a computer, that simply takes that person‘s transcripts and accomplishments, and what not, to decide if they are accepted. Not human interaction.
But I can understand how a white person might feel disappointed if they had to go to a less convenient college because their first pick didn’t have any more slots.
I suppose we should be sure the balance of men and women isn’t taken into consideration too?
What about scholarships based on financial need? If a college wanted to accept a certain number of people on scholarships per year, that might cut the open slots for wealthy while males.
Not just white people, Asians are the most affected by Affirmative Action.
I know it's not possible to be perfect (There are idiots and assholes in every large group, including college admissions), but imo effort should be made to be race and sex blind. Right now, effort is being made to the opposite.
