Discrimination in Universities

Before I start today's rant, I am not going to bother with "politically correct" bullshit. Your either mature enough to read the article for its content and not nit pick at all the small stuff like grammer and PC terms, or your not mature enough to be reading my blog.

Since long before I was born there has been discrimination in universities. A certain group is always being overlooked and pushed aside for scholarships. But that group probably isn't one of the "minority" groups that most people are probably thinking about. Nope, that group is consisted of white males.

For years we have heard preaching about equality and fairness from rights activists. They go on and on about how even today there is racism and genderism. Then those same groups turn around and continually win preferential treatment in the name of equality. Read that last sentence again. Equally treated where they receive better treatment than others. Anyone else see the catch 22?

Today we see racism and genderism every single day. It's in our work, it's in our schools, and it's in our society. As long as there is preferential treatment in the work place (equal opportunity is a farse), or lower scholarship requirments at universities for people that just happen to have colored skin or breasts, there will always be discrimination.

I'm tired of the hypocrits, and the College Republicans student group over at the University of Rhode Island is as well. Read up on it here. If we want to see equality in this country, that means everybody is treated the same. Everyone would have to meet the same requirments for scholarships and entry to universities. Companies would be able to fire bad employees despite race/gender for poor performance without fear of a discrimination suit. And when hiring new employees, they could concentrate on finding the applicant best suited for the position instead of making sure they are meeting their race/gender quotas.

As a result, I predict you would see less animosity from white males towards other races and women in the workplace. Because then they would feel they earned their education at the same requirments, and also was hired into the job best filling their position instead of filling the companies quota. And when you end the underlying tension between everyone, that's when you will finially have the chance for discrimination to disappear from the public eye of society.
