Message | Do black people get a job just for being black? If they do, why are people voting against this bill. Thats blatant racism |
Date | not recorded | From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Affirmative Action Reversal |
Message | Affirmative Action aka positive discrimination is based on the 'disadvantages' black people came from ie racism 100's of years ago. Based upon this, to 'even the playing field' there are extreme quotas of employing minorities, which means many white people get put out of jobs so that we have exact %'s of minorities in jobs. |

Message | They already are, public education is available for all Dorvik citizens and there is no government policy on racism. That applies to both Jim Crow style laws and AA, so both sides just please chill out. The DLP does not support AA but seeing as how it is not a policy Dorvik currently has I wouldn't worry about it. |

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
