Important Migration Issue: Affirmative Action in the West. Only USA score Well.

Part of the Success of Chinese, Foreigners and lack of serious racism in America can be attributed to the myriad of Affirmative Action Laws in the US.

As Australia, the UK, etc is lacking in such race friendly laws, it is little wonder someone like Barack Obama was elected by white people.

Singaporeans wishing to migrate should consider this fact. America's Affirmative Action laws have made it exceptionally easier for Asians there, from Berkeley's Asian community to the many successful Asians in America, there is little wonder Asians thrive in the US.

Of course I see little Affirmative Action in Australia............unlike America

Too Much of a Good Thing?

When affirmative action was first implemented in the early 1970s, Asian Americans benefited from it in large numbers, as did Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians and the group that has benefited the most, White women. Since that time, Asian Americans have achieved notable successes in educational attainment, employment, and income -- so much so that Asians are frequently called the "model minority."

In fact, on many university campuses around the country, Asian Americans soon became disproportionately represented. That is, it was common for 10%, 15%, or more of a university's student population to be of Asian ancestry at a time when Asians were only about 3% of the general population. This was also because the Asian American population is relatively young, so many more Asians were applying to college than before as well.

Nonetheless, many universities became alarmed at the growing Asian American student population on their campuses. So much so that once the Asian proportion of their student population reached 10%-15%, they began to reject Asian students who were clearly qualified. Soon, Asian Americans were accusing universities such as U.C. Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, and Brown of imposing a quota or upper limit on their admission numbers. After several protests and investigations, these universities admitted that there were problems with these admission policies but never admitted any deliberate wrongdoing.

Soon thereafter, many conservatives and opponents of affirmative action began to argue that these Asian American students were "victims" of affirmative action, just like Whites. In other words, these Asian American students were being denied admission when other "less qualified" ethnic groups (implying Blacks, Latinos, and American Indians) were being admitted.

As many Asian American scholars note, at first this argument may sound plausible. But after careful investigation, the real issue is not that Asian students are "competing" with other racial/ethnic minority groups. Rather, the real cause of this controversy is the widespread use of admissions factors that always seem to favor Whites.

For example, many private universities use "legacy clauses" in which the children of their alumni are almost always admitted, many of whom would not have been admitted otherwise. The problem is that legacy clauses almost always favor Whites because a generation ago, there were very few racial/ethnic minorities attending these elite schools. As research showed, the widespread use of these legacy admissions is what's responsible for the artificially low admission rates for Asian Americans.

Other factors that lowered the admissions rates for Asian students included persistent stereotypes that Asian students were not "well-rounded" candidates and rarely participate in extracurricular activities. Again, national research showed that in terms of participating in sports, performing arts, academic and social clubs, and community activities, the rates for Asian students were almost identical to that of White students.

Statistics

South Australia's Diversity
The population of South Australia is characterised by a great diversity of cultural mores, languages spoken, systems of belief and family types.

Approximately one in five South Australians was born overseas, with about half of this group born in English-speaking countries, and the other half born in countries where English is not the dominant language. Among the groups from non-English speaking countries, the largest communities in the State comprise those born in Europe and those persons born in Vietnam.

An overview of South Australia's multicultural population as at the 2006 Census can be found on pages 22 and 23 of the latest issue of Multicultural Life magazine. Click here to go to the Multicultural Life page. Or Click here to download the two-page spread as one PDF.

This is not a diversity thread. Its an Affirmative Action Thread. If you do not understand affirmative action, please do the necessary research to enlighten your understanding. kindly do not hijack threads. I do not wish to resort to infractions, but kindly stick to the topic at hand.

Obama makes affirmative action hip and cool

For Black History Month, I recently gave a talk at a Vallejo middle school. As the teacher introduced me, I could see the faces of 300 students glazing over. "Our special guest," he said, "has a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley." That did not impress them. Then, in a desperate attempt to rouse them, the teacher, glimpsing the paper in his hand, saw that I had a degree from Columbia University, and extolled, "... and he went to the same university as President Obama."

That did it. "Wow!" went the collective praise as the students leaped to their feet, and applauded Obama - and me.

Yes, it was true, I assured them. I felt very hip, and very cool.

But without affirmative action, I could not have afforded to attend this Ivy League university. As a descendant of slaves, my father was a farmer and my duty was plowing with my mule.

Obama's mother was a single parent, and without affirmative action, he would not have attended Columbia University or Harvard Law School.

Obama claims he has no way of knowing if he was a beneficiary of affirmative action in his admission to Harvard or to Columbia, but if he were, he says, he is not ashamed of receiving help.

The question of whether Obama is for or against affirmative action is moot. He is not for affirmative action - he is affirmative action. When he gets up in the morning and works out to Jay Z's music, he is already telling you that he is for affirmative action.

Obama represents the image of the African American in the digital age. As a student of the digital age, he is able to write books and dig Jay Z.

(As he works out, Obama is listening to Jay Z's' "Dirt Off Your Shoulders." Where he raps: "If you feelin' like a pimp, n-' go on and brush yo' shoulders off ...")

In 1996, Republican Ward Connerly persuaded Californians to pass Proposition 209, a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or gender in state institutions. Connerly promised that the law would bring the brightest African Americans to the universities.

But it didn't. After Prop. 209 passed, black enrollment dropped and a hostile racial climate blanketed campuses.

Now the universities are in worse shape than ever. Both administrators and students have their hands out for help from Obama, not Connerly.

The California Board of Education has approved an African American Advisory Committee to study why 43 percent of blacks are failing to graduate from high school. State educators see no choice but to include race in the solution to the problem.

Greg Jones, the committee head, said he supports the focus on African American students, and that Obama's presidency has given the committee's efforts a boost.

"Our African American students have low expectations among themselves, their peer groups and their schools. We have to find ways to raise their expectations," he said. "If we can give these students the kind of tools, resources and support they need, then hopefully we can close this insidious achievement gap between the black and brown and their white and Asian counterparts."

It is Obama's actions - not Connerly's - that are inspiring these solutions.

With his nod to hip-hop music, his frequent YouTube appearances, and his dedication to helping all students, Obama inspires young black Americans. As one student put it after watching the inauguration, "I am going to cut my dreads and pull up my pants."

Everyday Racism in Singapore
SELVARAJ VELAYUTHAM
Macquarie University 28-29 September 2006


In this paper, I outline some of the common forms of racism that Singaporean Indians experience in their daily lives. Though other racial minority groups such as the Malays and Eurasians also experience racism within the Chinese dominated Singaporean society, I am limiting my focus to the Indians as my research is based on this community. It should be pointed out that the experience of racism among the Malays has been well documented (see Tremewan 1996 & Rahim 1998). Moreover,because the Malays are often singled out as a “socially and economically underachieving” community in Singapore which in turn has generated criticalresponse and resentment from countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, racism towardsthe Malays is also well publicised. However, racism towards the Indians has received little public attention.

Even though Indians face racial discrimination in their everyday lives, their high socio-economic standing relative to their population size puts them as a prosperous and successful community in Singapore. As a result,racism has been become a non-issue for the India community and effectively ruling out the possibility of articulating experiences of racism discrimination in any officialcapacity.

Although the term ‘everyday life’ is synonymous with the idea of being mundane orordinary and according to Gouldner (1975) is the stable, recurrent and seeminglyunchanging features of the social life of ordinary individuals, they are by no meansinsignificant. In particular, what Heller (1984) termed as the ‘modalities of everydaycontact’ which range from the random to the organised are important sites for gainingan insight into everyday racism. It is often argued that in multicultural societies, theproximity and intimacy created by living and encountering racial and culturaldiversity can encourage familiarity and awareness of cultural difference. But asscholars such as Ash Amin (2002), Amanda Wise (2005) and others have argued it can also create social tensions resulting in racial abuse, discrimination, and stereotyping.

Multiracialism is a fundamental pillar of postcolonial Singaporean society. It is apolitical ideology that is actively promoted by the city-state to recognise/representSingapore as a racially and culturally diverse society. By that token, the main racialgroups in Singapore are accorded official status and are guaranteed equality.Singapore considers itself a racially tolerant and harmonious country and indeed, thefour official groups – Chinese (77%), Malays (14%), Indians (8%) and Others - have co-existed peacefully since its independence in 1965.

However, this does not mean thatracial discrimination and intolerance are non-existent. Whilst there are manyexamples of peaceful cross-cultural intermingling between the races, everyday socialtensions and discomforts arising from living with cultural difference are rarelyofficially acknowledged (see for instance Lai 1995). Indeed, the term racism is entirelyabsent from official discourse and public debate in Singapore. In this paper, I seek todocument some of the everyday experiences and practices of racism in Singapore.Using empirical material and research field notes, I will outline a range of subtle toexplicit forms of racism that manifest in different social spaces in Singapore (indeed,there are more research that needs to be done in studying structural and institutionalracism). I argue that while the city-state actively engages in activities targeted at ...

Who cares? I am glad in Oz there's very few blacks in the community, it just makes the place so much safer.

In America, whether is New York, San Francisco, Seattle or Washington DC, the black community is huge, and there are many suburbs dominate by the blacks which are notorious and dangerous. There was once my mate & I took the wrong train to the JFK airport, aligned in a neighbourhood with whole streets of African Americans. We were so scared as we were being stared violently as we were trying to find our way out....never forget that experience..read this...

THE RACE WAR OF BLACK AGAINST WHITE


Paul Sheehan



The longest war America has ever fought is the Dirty War, and it is not over. It has lasted 30 years so far and claimed more than 25 million victims. It has cost almost as many lives as the Vietnam War. It determined the result of last year's congressional election.

Yet the American news media do not want to talk about the Dirty War, which remains between the lines and unreported. In fact, to even suggest that the war exists is to be discredited. So let's start suggesting, immediately.

No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 30 years a large segment of black America has waged a war of violent retribution against white America.

And the problem is getting worse, not better. In the past 20 years, violent crime has increased more than four times faster then the population. Young blacks (under 18) are more violent than previous generations and are 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than young whites.

Nearly all the following figures, which speak for themselves, have not been reported in America:

According to the latest US Department of Justice survey of crime victims, more than 6.6 million violent crimes (murder, rape, assault and robbery) are committed in the US each year, of which about 20 per cent, or 1.3 million, are inter-racial crimes.


Most victims of race crime – about 90 per cent – are white, according to the survey "Highlights from 20 Years of Surveying Crime Victims," published in 1993.


Almost 1 million white Americans were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by black Americans in 1992, compared with about 132,000 blacks who were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by whites, according to the same survey.


Blacks thus committed 7.5 times more violent inter-racial crimes than whites even though the black population is only one-seventh the size of the white population. When these figures are adjusted on a per capita basis, they reveal an extraordinary disparity: blacks are committing more than 50 times the number of violent crimes of whites.


According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder blacks.
These breathtaking disparities began to emerge in the mid-1960s, when there was a sharp increase in black crime against whites, an upsurge which, not coincidentally, corresponds exactly with the beginning the modern civil rights movement.

Over time, the cumulative effect has been staggering. Justice Department and FBI statistics indicate that between 1964 and 1994 more than 25 million violent inter-racial crimes were committed, overwhelmingly involving black offenders and white victims, and more than 45,000 people were killed in inter-racial murders. By comparison 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam, and 34,000 were killed in the Korean war.

When non-violent crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft and personal theft) are included, the cumulative totals become prodigious. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says 27 million non-violent crimes were committed in the US in 1992, and the survey found that 31 per cent of the robberies involved black offenders and white victims (while only 2 per cent in the reverse).

When all the crime figures are calculated, it appears that black Americans have commited at least 170 million crimes against white Americans in the past 30 years. It is the great defining disaster of American life and American ideals since World War II.

All these are facts, yet by simply writing this story, by assembling the facts in this way, I would be deemed a racist by the American news media. It prefers to maintain a paternalistic* double-standard in its coverage of black America, a lower standard.




* Note by Simon Sheppard: Paul Sheehan, like George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, writes skillfully and accurately but gets the gender wrong. Maintaining a double-standard (ambivalence, Malign Encouragement) and controlling information are female strategies. As Sheehan intimates ("not coincidentally"), many of the crimes he details are the product of alien influence. It was a Jew who invented the term genocide:



‘In order to weaken the spiritual resistance of the national group, the occupant attempts to create an atmosphere of moral debasement within this group. According to this plan, the mental energy of the group should be concentrated upon base instincts and should be diverted from moral and national thinking. It is important for the realization of such a plan that the desire for cheap individual pleasure be substituted for the desire for collective feelings and ideals based upon a higher morality.’
Part of Lemkin's original 1944 definition of genocide, from Axis Rule in Occupied Europe: Laws of Occupation, Analysis of Government, Proposals for Redress pp.89-90. Or the following, in Neal Gabler, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood (pp. 6-7, quoting Isaiah Berlin):



‘The Hollywood Jews would cope through "a sustained attempt to live a fiction, and to cast its spell over the minds of others." What is amazing is the extent to which they succeeded in promulgating this fiction throughout the world. By making a "shadow" America, one which idealized every old glorifying bromide about the country, the Hollywood Jews created a powerful cluster of images and ideas -- so powerful that, in a sense, they colonized the American imagination. No one could think about this country without thinking about the movies. As a result, the paradox -- that the movies were quintessentially American while the men who made them were not -- doubled back on itself. Ultimately, American values came to be defined largely by the movies the Jews made. Ultimately, by creating their idealized America on the screen, the Jews reinvented the country in the image of their fiction.’

Again off topic.

Sigh.......No Affirmative Action in Australia.........

Affirmative Action is covered under EEO laws in Australia.

It takes into account people of Arborginal and Torren Straits origins, as well as women in the workplace. It also consider the workplace diversity and racial discrimination, so I am not off topic.

Take the NSW law
Affirmative action
People generally use the term affirmative action in one of three ways:
to cover everything to do with the development of equal opportunity plans — as described above.
to describe specific affirmative action strategies — that is, strategies that provide special help for groups who have been disadvantaged in the past. For example, the employer may run special training or recruitment programs for groups such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people or women.
Affirmative action strategies like this help give previously disadvantaged groups the skills and confidence to allow them to compete on equal terms with everyone else. This helps ensure that equal opportunity becomes a reality for everyone. It also helps ensure that employers get the best out of all groups in their workplace.

Note that in order to conduct these types of affirmative action strategies in NSW, employers generally first need to get their program certified — for more information about when this is necessary and when it isn’t, contact the Anti-Discrimination Board.

to cover programs and strategies aimed at women only. The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999 (Cth) says that all employers with 100 or more employees, and all higher education institutions, must develop and implement an "affirmative action program" to promote equal opportunity for women and report on this program annually to the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency, a federal government body.
In essence, an affirmative action program is a structured approach to ensuring that women are able to compete equally for employment, training and promotional opportunities, and that any disadvantages are addressed.

An affirmative action program involves keeping statistics on the occupations and employment status of women in the organisation, and using these to redress the imbalances in the profile of the workforce.

It also involves implementing specific affirmative action strategies including training or recruitment programs for women, introducing part-time work for women returning from maternity leave and reviewing promotion procedures to ensure all promotions are made solely on the basis of merit.

Generally covered? What does that mean? Are you aware Affirmative Action has been around for the 70s in the US and its now so successful its no longer considered imperative for Asians?

How is that for success? Its no wonder an Asian can walk around in the US a true equal unlike in Australia..........

You see this is what is important.......

Asians and Affirmative Action Today

These days, there are still many differing opinions on affirmative action among Asian Americans. While public opinion surveys generally show that a majority of Asian Americans support affirmative action, many in our communities believe that American society is indeed a meritocracy and that everyone should be judged purely on his/her abilities, rather than ethnic identity. As Asian-Nation discusses in many articles, there is a lot of diversity in the Asian American community, and that includes views about affirmative action.

Since affirmative action programs were first implemented, many Asian Americans have achieved remarkably high levels of education, economic, and occupational attainment. This socioeconomic success has led many colleges and companies to no longer consider Asian Americans as an "underrepresented" minority group and therefore, are no longer eligible to be included in such affirmative action guidelines and programs.
