| Message | Positive discrimination is just what its name suggests, discrimination, and the State must guard against any kind of discrimination. Elevating a particular collective above the general society because of a discrimination only guarantees that resentment will appear, as people will be denied jobs, places in educational institutions, etc., because of it. The State ought to ensure equality of opportunities, and then apply a strictly meritocratic policy. Trying to unnaturally force the "equality of outcome", as advocated by extreme leftists, is only a recipe for chaos and, as said before, resentment. |
