華爾街時報今日關於種族歧視和種族照顧的文章

作者Jason L. Riley，作家和華爾街日報編輯，職業撰稿人。

“If anything, the evidence shows that racial preferences have coincided with slower black upward mobility. After the University of California system ended its race-conscious admissions policies in the 1990s, black graduation rates rose. A policy intended to increase the size of the black middle class was in practice limiting its growth. It would be difficult to identify a government program coming out of the 1960s that did more to help blacks than what black were doing to help themselves before the program.”

曆史上，種族照顧政策的同時，對應著減緩的黑人向上通道。在加州大學在90年代結束了種族照顧政策之後，非裔的畢業率相應提升。種族政策本意推動非裔的中產階級，但實際上幫了倒忙。自從上世紀60年代以來，很難找到任何一個政府的措施對非裔有真正的幫助，都沒有靠自己努力重要。

“It’s a history that seriously undermines the notion that racism is an all-purpose explanation for social inequality, or that activists seldom bring it up.”

即使曆史證明種族問題不是造成社會不公平的普適緣由，政治活動家們卻極力拒絕承認。

“What affirmative action has succeeded in doing is stoking racial conflict. It keeps race front and center in our policy debates, regardless of relevance. Lagging groups are told that others have gotten ahead at their expense.”

種族照顧帶來的是種族之間的衝突。千篇一律的依據種族因素做政策討論，也不管種族因素是不是問題的症結。他們總是告訴落後的群體，是其他族裔擠壓了你們。
