Chapter 1797: Affirmative act

"Xiao, I'm really embarrassed to let you encounter such a thing." Michael Thomas apologized.
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Don't say that. This is a good thing. I can rest assured that the children are going to school here. What is going on here? Why don't I have so many luxury cars? I still want to keep a low profile today. It became a reason to be stopped."
Michael Thomas smiled and said: "You came at a good time today. Today is our school's sports festival. It is an open day for parents, so security must be strengthened. Of course you can't come in without an invitation letter. I hope you don't. Mind." He said this to excuse the security guards. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to point a gun.
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Michael, I blame me for this. I just want to come here secretly, and don't cause any trouble to the children, but I didn't expect that the parents here are so high-profile."
Thomas laughed and said: "What do you say about this? Our school is an aristocratic school after all. The basic housework that allows children to come here is good, and this kind of parent open day, you can understand that it is an opportunity for parents to communicate. Because it is very likely to be able to promote a very good business."
Xiao Peng shrugged, "Well, I'm all to blame for this. I should call you before I come."
Thomas smiled: "Then I will walk with you?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Then there is no need. I don't want to negotiate business here. I want my children to grow up healthily. I just need to find the children myself. I still want to talk to you about Xiao Yi. I apologize. My children are causing you trouble, are they?"
Xiao Yi was arrested by the police because of the doodle desk. This is simply unimaginable in China. But Xiao Peng did not blame Thomas, since he came to school, he had to abide by the rules here.
Thomas laughed and said: "Your kids are amazing! If my children are all like this, it would be so educated, even if there is a affirmative act, I believe you Via can enter Harvard. Xiao Ge will definitely go to a prestigious university, and Xiao Yi still needs to work hard."
Xiao Peng was shocked after hearing this: "You said Xiao Yi still needs to work hard? His grades are much better than Xiao Ge?"
Thomas said: "But it's not good enough, isn't it? Shaug has great athletic talent. Whether it is baseball, football or basketball, as long as he can maintain his current growth, he will be robbed by famous schools in the future; and Wei Ya is simply too smart. She should go to college now! Xiao Yi is very good in painting, but her grades still need to be improved. Otherwise, come to my office and sit for a while?"
Xiao Peng understood. Thomas meant that Shaw would enter the university as a sports student. This also understands that Xiao Ge's physical fitness is not ordinary. He also wanted to get news from the children from Michael, so he nodded: "Okay, then I will disturb you first."
Thomas laughed and said, "What's the trouble with this? It's my honor that you can come to my office."
In Thomas's office, he poured Xiao Peng a cup of coffee: "Xiao, I am a little sorry about what happened to Xiao Yi last time. The teacher at the time was too impulsive. I contacted the police. Such things are not in the file. "
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Thank you so much. Huh? The coffee is good!"
"Well, I have a parent of a student who is in the coffee business. This is Jamaican coffee. Although it is not ACC certified Blue Mountain, the quality is also
Very good. "Thomas smiled.
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say. Who said the foreigner teacher would not accept gifts? You stand up and see if I won't kill you! He thought for a moment, took out the humidor from his pocket, took out a cigar and handed it to Thomas: "Smoker?"
Thomas looked at it and smiled: "'Samuel and Samson'? This is a good cigar, but I am disrespectful."
Xiao Peng also lit a cigar and changed the subject: "Michael, I want to consult about Via."
Thomas was taken aback: "Are you thinking about Xiao Weiya going to college in the future?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't you be prepared for a rainy day? Do you think it is possible for Xiao Weiya to skip grades and go to university? I also hope that a genius will come out of the house, right?"
Thomas thought for a while: "Well, how should I put it? I don't recommend you to do this."
"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Thomas said: "Although your children are all white, they are all Chinese nationals after all."
Xiao Peng's face darkened after hearing this: "What does this mean?"
Thomas hurriedly waved his hand when he heard it: "Hey, Xiao, don't get me wrong! Let me tell you a story and you will understand."
Xiao Peng controlled his emotions: "I would like to hear the details."
Thomas said: "A few years ago, our school had an excellent graduate named Abigail Fisher. She wanted to take the Texas State University because his father’s business was in Texas. But she ended up I lost the election."
Xiao Peng curiously asked, "What? Because of insufficient grades?"
Thomas shook his head and said: "That's not the case. When she applied for college, she far exceeded the college admission standards in all aspects. In the end, Texas State University rejected him on the grounds that ‘the quota for whites is full.’"
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "What kind of reason is this?"
Thomas laughed: "Because these universities have to reserve some admissions places for those minority applicants whose application requirements are much lower, that is, black or Latino. We have an "affirmative action bill" in the Star and Stripe State, which gives it to minorities. More application advantages, so white people are at a disadvantage. This is the so-called "reverse racial discrimination". In the Stars and Stripes, the people who suffer most from the "reverse racial discrimination" are actually Asians, because in the Stars and Stripes, no matter what the exam is , Asians have the highest grades. If the university racial quota restrictions are really lifted, then 80% of the students at Star-Spangled State University will be Asians."
"Is it that exaggeration?" Xiao Peng widened his eyes.
Thomas took a cigar and shrugged: "Take the average SAT score for the admission test of the Stars and Stripes National University for example. The average score of Latinos is about 990, black is about 940, white is about 1118, and Asian is about 990. 1181, do you now know how big the gap is? But the fact is that blacks who took the 940 exam must have gone to college, while the Asians who took the 1181 need to work hard to find schools. Because these schools have racial quotas, so No matter how many points we can take on the SAT, we still have the possibility of failing. After all, the racial quota is limited. Let me give you an analogy. If there are only ten Asian places in a school, no matter how good the exam is, Even if it is a few hundred points higher than black, white, or Latino, her competitors will always be those Chinese who are as good as her. So I suggest that she study hard
Let Xi lay a good foundation. "
After listening to Thomas, Xiao Peng could understand, because there are similar policies in China. To be precise, countries all over the world have similar policies.
Just like when Huaxia took college entrance examinations, colleges and universities set different scores for each province, and each minority also had a bonus policy.
In order to achieve so-called'equality', any multi-ethnic country in the world will adopt certain'affirmative measures'. For example, in South Africa, after abolishing the previous'apartheid' system, the wages of blacks have been overturned in the past few decades. Several times, while whites only increased by 1%; for example, when Israel enrolled in universities, it forcedly increased the admission quota for minority groups and improved women’s social status; for example, in Finland, when companies recruited employees Gender balance must be achieved; Germany's "Basic Law" also stipulates that women and the disabled must have priority in employment policies and so on.
However, in the Stars and Stripes, in order to eliminate unfair treatment due to racial discrimination, Kennedy signed an executive order in 1961, requiring all government employers not to discriminate against employees because of their skin color, race, nationality; including four years. Later President Johnson further strengthened Kennedy's executive order.
Although these affirmative acts are good from the original intention, for example, if the boss of a company is the kind of "white supremacy", then he will definitely tend to be white when recruiting employees, and directly eliminate applicants of other skin colors. , Even if they are better. These bills can now compulsorily give advantages to other races of color to offset the effects of racial discrimination and achieve equality.
But there is no use for eggs. Because this kind of bill is based on the premise that racial discrimination exists and gives those who are discriminated against an extra advantage. Therefore, racial discrimination has always existed in this star-shaped country.
But as blacks shine in sports, music, and film and television, the social status of blacks is getting higher and higher-the wealthy status is higher. It's that simple. Then there appeared a black president like Oguanhai in the Star-Spangled Nation. Now "Black First" has become the main theme of the Star-Spangled Nation. The simplest thing is to say that at Harvard University, Chinese need to be different from whites, Latinos and blacks. 140 points, 270 points, and 450 points higher can hope to be admitted to Harvard. This is like just entering a video game, press the start button to directly enter the mode. . . . . .
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "So, Asians and whites are now the most discriminated against?"
He was joking, but Thomas nodded: "In fact, it is true. Why does Arp support so many people? Those who support him do not want to make the Stars and Stripes great again, but want to make the white people again Great'. Xiao, please rest assured, I don’t have any opinion on Asians. There are many Asian children in our school. I just don’t want to see Wei Ya get caught up in such cruel competition early, so I still hope you can do well. Think about this question, Mr. Xiao, I suggest you get better in our school and feel your children’s campus life. Don’t deprive them of happiness, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng put out the cigar, smiled and stood up: "Michael, I'm going to see my children now."
Michael said: "They should be on the basketball court now. After all, it's a sports festival. I wish you all a good time."
