Cake Shop ruling only said that the State of Colorado was acting in a discriminatory way, it pushed the actual decisions down the road. Until now, specifically
And... what's wrong with the cake shop ruling?
Not while the legacies are still around, no.
All the hypocritical cutouts
Lmao, it's cute how you think that's what's happening here. The sort of prospective Asian American student who thinks they didn't get in because of the tiny numbers of black people still think that way about California schools, and they haven't had affirmative action for a while now
So are you actually trying to argue affirmative action isn't a racist policy?
Why is it always about African Americans and Asians Americans instead of Europeans?
Do you think that Asians Americans are smarter than African Americans?
That not what they said. Because there are a lot of racial decisions that universities can make with touching Affirmative Action
Like...
Some universities have abandoned SATs. You know what happened? The demographics of the universities shifted to be closer to the general population
Let's take this to an example that doesn't involve race but genetics instead. So you do get offended at the word racism
Autistic students didn't do well on SATs. So they were deemed as dumb. But then we found some mitigating factors like ability to deal with large groups, bright lights, not being able to touch something, written language barriers etc. Even school uniforms can not meet the needs of these students. They might not be able to pick up on social context clues in text and decide on an incorrect assumption.
Thus they can't score their potential on SATs unless they are changed to meet those needs. They actually weren't dumb, the testing situation made them look dumb
A similar sort of idea for people from different ethnic groups. Social cues are different or languages are different. This can even hurt conservatives or lefties because its usually written by liberals who have a certain world view that isnt shared by everyone. It can benefit different regions
How you write a test can affect test result. Your performance can be dimished by the test you take
This has been known and documented before CRT was a thing. It's that old. It's not just racist, it's also elites, benefiting the rich over others
I don't think either group are inherently smarter, but I'm willing to guess if you tested all of any one group against another group, one group would on average be smarter.
Autism is a disorder, race isn't a disorder. I'm sure there's some very minor issues in wording for a question here and there, but it's also something you'd never be able to get completely rid of and tests are just needed for evaluation purposes. I'm sure a question that references sports will be ever-so-slightly be answered better overall for students that are into sports. The notion that tests are holding back minorities because of wording is, I'm sure, technically true but it's so minor compared to the much much much bigger reasons it's barely a drop in the bucket. Focusing on those much bigger reasons with also naturally smooth out the very minor test bias as well.
Also something like a liberal or conservative world view shouldn't be present in class let alone present on questions on a test.
Lastly, are you either for or against affirmative action?
Here is what I want you to do. Instead of them being homosexuals, replace an instances in that case with them being African Americans instead. Is the cake shop owner allowed to treat people like that if their religious beliefs are against African Americans. What about European Americans? Can you refuse service if your religion is against Europeans?
Treat them like what? The cake owner was fine with selling them a cake. When you get into art, it is really a grey area because then you are forcing the artist to do something they may not want to. Is a director able to force an actor/actress to get nude for a scene that wasn't previously agreed to? Can you force a painter to paint a portrait of Hitler if they don't want to? Can you force a restaurant chef to make you some custom order that isn't on the menu? I'm sure in Chicago, there's hot dog places that won't put ketchup on a hot dog as that's a big thing in Chicago and I like a hot dog with just ketchup on it and nothing else. Am I able to force them to prepare a hot dog with ketchup if they don't want to? Can you force Taylor Swift to sing something she doesn't want to? In like 99.99999% of businesses, this isn't a thing that comes up because you go to like Best Buy and buy a TV or need a plumber to fix a leak, you aren't paying for anything artistic. The cake shop thing, I feel falls under art. I'm not sure if the wedding website does especially if it's just making a webpage and placing pictures (taken or created elsewhere) on it, sounds like just a service to me akin to a plumber. if the website designer is making custom graphics, then that makes some sense at least.
