It's just a hunch really that two wrongs don't make a right and that discrimination to address discrimination is ineffective.
You have any stats that show otherwise?
I'm not that keen on digging anything up...I know what I've read and you know also know what I've read. I suppose if shown something to the contrary of what I've posted, I might be inclined to refute it.
As far as diversity is concerned...we've all seen it. Sure there are more of the various groups on campus and in the work place...but they don't intermix all that much. Just like in the real world without government sanctioned and mandated discrimination.
Don't get me wrong, I'm for intergration, and I'm in favor of helping overcome the obstacles to success, like discrimination, racism, and sexism...however, it could be just me...'programs' which are nothing more then discrimination, racism, and sexism just ain't going to cut it.
