It's supposed to ensure fairness. Sadly, it encourages substandard 'professionals.' It's one thing to make sure that no one is denied opportunity that they have worked for. The reality is that it allows some to slide by even though they haven't earned it by lowering standards for them.
Lowering standards to ensure a student can get accepted into medical school or to guarantee a job later on might be good for the individual, but not good for those who will depend on that person. We all want good doctors and would prefer the ones who were always smart, not those who couldn't have made it if not for government lowering the bar for them.
This Indian guy didn't have high enough scores and was rejected when he applied to medical school. When he decided to pretend to be black, suddenly the scores became adequate and he was accepted.
Lowering the bar is not necessary. We should always ensure that skin color is NEVER a factor in being offered or being denied opportunity. Sadly, affirmative action is all about skin color and not about qualifications. Why does the left continue with the assumption that blacks aren't as smart as other people? Affirmative action is just a matter taking mediocre and pretending it's excellence. Who does that really help in the long run?
It's about time that affirmative action is exposed for what it is. Sharpton is furious that an Indian male managed to take advantage of a plan that lowers expectations from blacks. Black people should be furious that big brother thinks they are incapable of getting higher grades.
"College grad Vijay Chokal-Ingam was "determined to become a doctor," but his 3.1 GPA simply was not going to cut it with any medical school admissions department.
Chokal-Ingam, who is of Indian descent, and the brother of "The Office" star Mindy Kaling, applied and — as expected — was rejected.
So he came up with a back-up plan — a very controversial one.
He pretended to be black.
Chokal-Ingam said he "knew that admission standards for certain minorities under affirmative action were, let’s say… less stringent."
----
Liberals are furious that he is exposing the absolute fraud of so-called "Affirmative Action", accusing him of exploiting his sister’s fame to push "White Supremacy." Al Sharpton reportedly among them:
Huh? White supremact? Newsflash, "Reverend" Al: he’s Indian-American!
Considering that both Michelle and Barack Obama got into elite Ivy League schools via affirmative action — and seeing how horrible they turned out, perhaps this book, and the Supreme Court, can help end this unfair and un-American quota system before too long."
