A irmative action: racist by nature

By Stephen McGarvey Daily Texan Columnist

In view of our nation’s tragic history of segregation and dis- crimination, lawmakers realized that action was necessary to correct the many wrongs done to blacks and other minorities during this period. eir solution, called “a rmative action,” includes giving minority citizens preferential treatment for college admission and scholarship purposes. At the time, this reverse-discrimination was exactly what the nation needed, and it served as an apology to those citizens whose lives were hurt by prior policies. However, the continuance of a rmative action into modern society has become more of a plague than a bene t. Abigail Fisher v. University of Texas, a new discrimi- nation case against UT, is going to the Supreme Court, and for the good of Fisher, the University and the nation, the court should take Fisher’s side and abolish a rmative action in col- lege admissions once and for all. e biggest problem with a rmative action is simple. Us- ing discrimination to combat discrimination encourages racial hatred in our society. By being discriminated against, whites and Asian-Americans may feel resentment toward those races that have been selected as the most elite of the disadvantaged. In turn, African-Americans and Hispanics could feel inferior because the government is essentially telling them that — for no reason other than the color of their skin — they need spe- cial assistance to put them on par with their peers. The expanding financial burden of higher education Ideally, we would like to reach a state where society does not judge its members based on the color of their skin but rather on the content of their character, as Martin Luther King Jr. said.
