Joy Reid admits she only got into Harvard because of Affirmative Action: “ I never had anyone question my Intelligence until I got to Harvard.” READ:
Reid said,"I went to a [high] school no one had ever heard of." But because"I just happened to be really nerdy and smart and have really good grades and good SAT scores ... someone [from Harvard] came to Denver to look for me. ... This was not the recruiter saying, 'We’re going to take an unqualified person and put them in Harvard.' Rather, they were saying, 'We’re going to take a very qualified person who we would never know existed and put them in Harvard.
This is why affirmative action is much better described as racial preferences. It certainly benefits some on the basis of race, but the flip side is that it discriminates against others on the same grounds. This is not to say anything about specific applicants, but rather it is pointing out the trend.
There is a reason why liberal journalists, politicians, and activists have had to resort to 1.) distorting what affirmative action actually is, like Reid did, or 2.) acting as if there is no group who is being discriminated against, as the New York Times's editorial board did: It is nearly impossible to defend open racial discrimination while acknowledging it is racial discrimination.
