The problem with Affirmative Action in schooling is that all races have different levels of intelligence. It is unreasonable to expect equal educational performance from groups with vastly different average IQs.
Discriminating against Asians in education because of their high intelligence is like forcing Black sprinters to carry weights to slow them down to the average speed of Asian sprinters.
But even worse than Affirmative Action is Disparate Impact law. Disparate Impact effectively establishes racial quotas in hiring because if Blacks do not meet hiring standards the standards are said to have "disparate impact" and are illegal.
User was banned for this post. So, was he banned for extrapolating that IQ scores mean intelligence? Just want to clarify this.
He was banned for implying that Asians are incredibly smarter than everyone else, and that black people are good at running.

Given that IQ tests do a demonstrably poor job of accurately measuring intelligence, they would probably get mocked, then ignored.

I don't think that had anything to do with the ban. He basically said "black people are dumb".

Well he said that blacks on average score lower on IQ tests and then extrapolated from that that they are less intelligent. So suggesting this idea, that IQ scores correlate with intelligence, outside of the context of race could still be seen as a racist declaration. I don't want to start a big debate here I just think it's an interesting question.

Or you got reported and they put you in LP. 3. Abandoning 1 or 2 games in a row doesn't matter. 4. If everyone abandon the game before 5 minutes mark, the game wont record and you dont get an abandon. I have NEVER had to stay in a low priority queue more than 12 hours.

Takes every kind of person to make a world, I guess. I find it pretty adorable when someone attempts to go alpha on someone else over a forum.

Still, there was a good amount of balance whining left unpunished.
Reporting posts in a LR is annoying when you're watching the games >.<
