I haven't seen a black american hired in tech in a decade. The last black american I saw in tech, they hired an indian manager, and the black guy was the first guy he fired.
Since then the only black guy I saw hired turned out to be from a suburb in africa.
My experience is the beneficiaries are people with well off parents from other countries.
Or white women.
Like all things the left does, affirmative action is a mile wide, but paper thin. Take the USSC case here of unqualified black admits to Harvard, what happens to them?
I imagine that Harvard, like most universities, requires 1st year students to live on campus, so in a dorm. Likely on a food plan, too. For Harvard this is $79,450 annually, so here's how it goes:
They get there, instantly realize they are way over their head academically, miserably fail their first semester, get put on academic probation, miserably fail their second semester, get suspended for academic reasons, drop out, and all the while, they are taking out loans the whole time they are there. Because Harvard uses semesters instead of quarters, they rack up that entire annual tuition in loans, or even more if they manage to hang on one semester, loans they can't get out of except by dying. Bam, they are now in debt for what used to be a mortgage payment 30 years ago.
And this is all so a fucking anointed lefty can preen their fucking virtue and feel proud of themselves for helping blacks get into (but not graduate) college.
And they'll blame 'racism' for their failure, which ironically is correct but not in the way they mean it.
None of this is ever done for the benefit of the people they use as their mascots and in order to legitimize their rule. Blacks are victims of the scumbag elites just like everyone else is.
One of my high school friends actually recently graduated from Harvard, and well, that tuition thing is half true.
All the children of celebrities, politicians, other famous people, etc, their parents have to pay that tuition, all the other students are generally on some form of scholarship, such as my friend who’s the son of black immigrants and graduated saludictorian at my high school.
The best hope for most of these people is the "Gentleman C." The idea that if you got there they'll keep you around and just give you a C and shuffle you through as not to hurt their graduation rates.
Exactly...there's other stuff one would write pages on as well, but is black guy mark from the hood or white guy matt from trailer actually making it through harvard?
Seems like people making it through are going to be well off black americans who get in either way, or black people with well off parents from other countries.
Even if they pass, they got into all this debt which works out for, uh, the same people pushing for them to get in.
