Universities should be punished for giving black students lower grades

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/feb/20/universities-should-be-punished-for-giving-black-students-lower-grades

Is your issue with the headline (which doesn't seem to be rooted in the piece) or the idea of the government trying to raise minority academic achievement to that of whites?

It's not minorities. Asian kids are well ahead.

Did you read the article?

Yesterday. leftist guardian fluff. If they took each ethnic group on their own they may not have the same remit to start these "programs" for affirmative action. Another case of skewing the results of your study in a way that justifies your agenda.

Its pretty well known that Asian kids do better at school and college than any other group. There was a massive stink at Harvard in recent times where Asians were discriminated against. In any situation it should be only those who perform best that get the places.

https://www.vox.com/first-person/2018/10/18/17995270/asian-americans-affirmative-action-harvard-admissions-lawsuit

The article is about Britain.

I used the Harvard case as an example. Plenty of citations of the same in Britain (this one from the same lefty-weirdy paper).

What percentage of the UK Asian population do Chinese and Koreans make up?

Any stats on people of south and southwest Asian descent?

Why does that even matter. Bottom line is that it's another attempt to discriminate using skewed statistics as a basis.
Take each student on their individual merit.

Apparently it matters to you (as it always seems to when it comes to black people). YOU are the one who took exception to Asians being included, which it clearly states they are in the article.

And where is the discrimination?

All I see in that article are references (no specifics) to existing programmes at certain universities which are apparently designed to help members of that BAME group.

What I said is that Asians already do well. Why would they then be included in a program to advance minorities to the detriment of people who already don't do as well.

Irish kids in Britain don't do as well. But f**k them. They're the wrong colour.
Do I win any Virtue Signalling points for that?

No, you said one particular group of Asians do well. Are you not aware of the problems of ethnic groups from other parts of Asia in England?

If there are relevant stats on Irish kids in Britain, go ahead and present them.

And again, where is the "detriment" to others?

Any specifics?

You again miss the point. Lumping everyone in one bucket due to colour is racist isn't it?
So treat them differently on that basis?
Some people could call you a Nazi for that opinion J70.

Who is being lumped into anything? Or treated differently?

All I see is discussion of programmes to try to address factors that might be contributing to the relatively poorer outcomes for BAME students and which I would presume are completely voluntary to partake in.

I don't know what the details of those programmes are. However, I presume you're well up on the details given your emphatic comments here, so let's hear about them.

Spare us the boilerplate right wing vacuous fluff and give us some actual facts. It could be a shit programme. But you've offered absolutely nothing to suggest it is.
