History has provided us with an interesting arc where the 1960’s Progressives who protested against “The MAN!” to champion “Equal Rights” for black people have since infiltrated America’s institutions (gov’t, media, social, and education), inculcated successive generations of youth, and motivated their “Useful idiots” to protest against “The (White) MAN!” to champion “Equity” using reverse-discrimination. That they do it so brazenly suggests they believe they’re at the end game. It’s a shame their history lesson didn’t include the fact that Ray Schism is color-blind, pervasive, and Human Nature. *sigh*

Thanks for the article: It’s hardly surprising but nice to see some actual numbers. Regarding numbers, it would also be illuminating to see the demographics of applications by year: We already know population percentage of Caucasians has dropped about 7.4 points (2010-2020 Census) and white males are opting more for trade skills, but perhaps they are being dissuaded by college admission practices while non-whites are being encouraged. I suspect we’ll see the same trend as Harvard’s known discriminatory admissions system. Regards.

As the flight FROM reason gathers speed and momentum, belief in entirely “rational” logical contradictions becomes increasingly embraced and accepted.

In this case that it is perfectly understandable that one may practice the “VIRTUE” of racial/ethnic discrimination in order to end the EVIL of racial/ethnic discrimination!

The next thing we’ll here is that one can be both male or female, both or neither!

As the hero in Ayn Rand’s epic novel remarks, “brother you asked for it!”

As a consultant nearly 40 years ago, I predicted that IBM would slowly wither, and their standards become irrelevant. That cost me advancement in several employments situations, despite outstanding performance, by “superiors” who could not look beyond their own past.

I was right.

Due to the Jewish diaspora effect, from events from 1492 to 1942, it was not unusual at MIT to find that students and employees from Latin America were in fact also Jewish. Be that as it may, over the years, all faculty, employees and alum that I know have talked about how things have changed
Private conversations only of course.

Did you catch this video of IBM’s DEI employment policies?

Let’s see how IBM performs in the coming years. Glad I don’t own the stock.
