Positive discrimination

[TheForeigner]

We all know about affirmative action politics in the USA that are meant to lift up blacks and "Hispanics" and because it consists in discrimination against whites and in favour of non-whites, most of us disapprove of it. Are there any other countries with similar policies of "positive discrimination" and what are they like?

Indian affirmative action also favors Dravidian Indians (Tamils, Telegus, Keralans, etc) over Indo-Aryan applicants.

In the U.S., east Asians and Indian Americans are held to the same standards as Whites for university admissions and certain job positions.

China has similar affirmative action where it favors ethnic minorities over Hans.

You think it's easier for a Chinkie or Indian to be admitted to MIT or Harvard? I can understand Blacks and Hispanics.

also Dravidians (Tamils for instance) might have it easier as well as groups like Pashtuns.

Brazil. There they have a system of quotas for blacks and natives in Universities to correct 'historical injustices' (serious). But the system works based on self-identification, so basically anyone who is not extremely pale or blonde can easily apply affirming to be 'pardo' (mixed race). Ridiculous.

So Dravidians don't benefit from affirmative action/positive discrimination?

This cunt will say that differences between Indians and low castes and high castes are western inventions... But i'm in South Asia right now and confirming by myself that the more caucasoid influenced regions are far better than the darker ones... The only exception seems to be in South India, where these blacks behave better than in the North.

I don't know how this is even legal. http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/28105/

The University of Cincinnati has rolled out a new policy that requires faculty and staff applicants pledge their commitment to “diversity and inclusion.”

The policy comes at a university with a stated goal of hiring more “historically underrepresented” employees, a benchmark spelled out in its “UC Affirmative Action Plan” that calls for more African American, women, and other “traditionally unrepresented” employees campuswide.

[TheForeigner]

I know all about affirmative action in the USA. I was interested to know about similar policies in other countries.

So Dravidians don't benefit from affirmative action/positive discrimination?Dravidian/Indo-Aryan are not the criteria for affirmative action in India, it is their caste which matters.
Those two are just linguistic and regional divides, and have nothing to do with castes. Lower castes from all regions have benefits while higher castes don't.

Don't listen to Frater Taciturnus, he knows nothing about South Asia, and he's just really dumb.



I wanted to add: I am South Indian and I belong to the highest caste, and obviously I don't get any benefits.

India is actually the only country where people want to be considered as "backwards".

[Shah-Jehan]

Also, a lot of internet retards think that "North India", as in Indo-Aryan speaking India is better off than "South India" or Dravidian speaking while it is quite the opposite. Most of the North is rather backwards or sectarian while the South is more Developed and peaceful.

Some charts to highlight my point

Yes adwasi tribes. But they almost all of them live in cities. And not in the forests anymore.

In Bosnia, power between Bosniaks (50% of the population), Serbs (30%) and Croats (15%) is divided on a basis of 33%-33%-33%. Obviously a positive discrimination of the minorities and a negative discrimination of the majority.

[Jehan]

In france, we have also a system of positive discrimation in some big schools.
As France don't recognyze race or ethnic difference, officially that's to allow poor people to enter elit schools.
The secret is they don't use wealth to make the selection but the place of living. So they select some subburbs where only immigrants live to be sure that's not a poor white french boy who benefit the program.
