Question

why we should WANT TO END racial privilege.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Racial and ethnic preferences are unjust — reason enough to abandon them.

2. They serve to perpetuate, rather than combat, racial stereotypes.

3. They encourage gaming the system (as when Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American).

4. They permit students from certain groups to coast in high school knowing they will get an automatic golden ticket to college.

5. They encourage intergroup resentment.

6. They result in what Stuart Taylor Jr. and Richard Sander have rightly called “mismatching” students — so that all but the very top minority students wind up attending schools that are a little out of their league.

7. Mismatching causes more minority students to abandon demanding majors like science and technology (so necessary for the economy’s flourishing).

8. Mismatch causes minority students to drop out in numbers far higher than other students. Black students are about a third more likely than similarly qualified other students to start college, but less likely to finish.

9. Admissions officers at selective schools pretend they are offering opportunity to “underserved” minorities, but in reality, they are simply lowering standards for already-privileged students with the preferred skin tone. Ninety-two percent of blacks at elite colleges are from the top half of the income distribution. A study a decade ago at Harvard Law School found that only a third of students had four African-American grandparents. Another third were from interracial families. The rest were children of recent immigrants from Africa or the West Indies.

10. Should mixed-race students get half a preference? Should their scores be 50 percent higher than students with two black parents? These are the kinds of absurdities our current system presents.

Bottom Line: Dropping preferences is not harmful to minority students; it’s beneficial.

Answer 2

Racial privileges affect overall societal development.

Explanation:

• Racial privileges result in issues such as racial discrimination. To ensure equality of opportunity, expression, and equal treatment in society, racial privileges should be ended.
• In addition, if racial privileges are allowed to exist, it would beat the objective of achieving equality as mentioned in the constitution of India.
• Racial privilege also leads to harassment and oppression of the unprivileged by the privileged people. To prohibit such an unfavorable situation, racial privileges should be ended.
