What's Wrong With This Picture?

Making race an issue again, I see. If we really cared about fighting racism, we actually wouldn't care about race.

Like, at all.

So it wouldn't matter if your party were full of white people, mixed, black, Asian, cyberman, it wouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately sweet lady, colour-blindness is no longer acceptable.

I have never understood it.

You can't force diversity in schools, parties, etc. The dominoes fall how they do. These things are random.

Obviously not enough white males in the Democratic electees. MAWA!! (Make America White Again)

Let's hope they have a collective IQ greater than that of a carrot.

Race? Since when is having a penis a race?

I was on about the way that it's also depicted as though the Dems have more diversity as well. I thought it deserved comment, since people like to go and on about it 24/7, especially now.

Random?

I do not think that word means what you think it means...

I know exactly what it means. The race of a person entering a given institution is random, unless said institution has a policy to include a member of each race, in which case it is a quota.

It should be noted that without any prompting or context regarding race, you were the first one to determine that race was the point of this pictorial representation.

Ah, good. Then you know that if the racial composition of both groups was random, the racial composition of both groups would be roughly equal.

What we have here, instead, is basically the opposite of random.

Schools can force diversity by its application process. Ergo Harvard is being sued for that very policy. Parties which have control over their party like the DNC can due to leadership and superdelegates. It is happening all the time behind closed doors.

Uh, no. This is NOT how it works. Did you not read the rest of my post? It's based upon who decides to enter a given party. People don't decide in equal measure to join a given party. If more white than black people choose to enter a party, then that's randomised.

Yes, they do this. That's a form of racism, since it limits the numbers of students from a given race who can enter, and incidentally works on this as well as, or at the expense of, actual ability. For shame.

If people are DECIDING which party to enter, then it is not random. Random would be counting off "1-2-1-2" and all the Ones are Democrats and all the Twos are Republicans.

If more white males choose to enter one party than another, then there's a reason for that--it's not random--and it's basically where the problem lies to begin with.

How is that a problem? You can't force people of a certain skin colour to enter a certain party. That's what I mean by this is random.

And that's what I meant when I said that you didn't understand the concept of randomness.

I agree. If we really cared about fighting child sexual abuse, we actually wouldn't care about children.

Makes perfect sense.

Except actual abuse happens when we ignore children.

No abuse happens by letting people of different races make their own career choices, instead of forcing them into them to fulfil a quota.

This is just not the same.
