Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)

[clocker]

I am delighted to report that Proposition 107 passed by 60% of Arizona voters. It is now against state law to offer preferential treatment in hiring based upon a person's skin color, ethnic background, or gender.

So, does this mean all the unqualified white males in Arizona are now out of work?
Huzzah, indeed.

What it means is that preferential treatment based on race and gender -- sometimes called racism or sexism by liberals, depending upon who it hurts -- is now against state law.

It's merely a baby step in the right direction.

1960, working on 1950?

However, the feds will smack this down like an insolent [pick your least favorite race] child.

This merely shows that 60% of the voters in Arizona don't know what the law truly does. Read my second to last post in this thread for details.

*EDIT* Or do, just don't like minorities in jobs (including good ones) proportionate to their percentage of state population. (yeah, that's all it does-assumes that all people should be represented equally in the job market).

I won't even dignify that with a response. Anyone with half a brain cell can see why.

Later Sweetheart.

I'll ask again...does this mean that all the unqualified white males will lose their jobs?

I assume, then, that you favor reparations for American slavery.

The correlation to the situation in AZ is no less tenuous than your assertion that "unqualified white males" should give up their jobs.

In any case, Arizona is inhabited by Arizonans, and it is Arizonans who should determine how their state is run.

If Hispanics find it inhospitable, they will depart, leaving the state poorer for their lack, and bringing ridicule to it's residents.

What's it to you?

And who would be "unqualified", white, and male hired by Affirmative Action program? Wait they don't have that job because some other "unqualified" [insert minority] got it. Is that what you were saying?

J2, I know you favor assumptions over facts, so carry on.

sandman...gee, who could I use to exemplify the "unqualified white male" stereotype...um, GW Bush?

So, Hispanics (Latinos) aren't Arizonans because they lack majority in the state?

Would you be so quick/understanding if a majority deemed you and your family unwelcome in your state?

I'll give you credit for seeing the message being aimed at illegal AND legal Latinos in Arizona.

It's only "reverse" discrimination that upsets the right, regular ole discrimination is A-OK in their book.

It's only a matter of time before Arizona runs out of water, so the problem will solve itself anyway.
