If these schools are as wonderful as they are said to be, then, as Thomas Sowell finds in the U.S., affirmative action students will flunk out at a much higher rate than other students. Indeed, kids who get into Ivy League based on Daddy's money are also much more likely to flunk out. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?id=2340

Kids who get in based on affirmative action, and then just barely get through, become eligible for more affirmative action. This will continue until they reach a point–not just of incompetence–but of absolute incompetence where Affirmative Action can no longer be applied.

I'm amazed at how liberals will look at someone like Justice Sotomayor and say "see–that proves that the tests don't predict much" rather than saying "wow someone with low scores got pushed ahead that far–I guess the breaks just never stop coming."

You are on the right track already. The Canadian province of Quebec has taken in a lot of Haitians in recent years, PURELY because they speak French, and they wanted to swell the ranks of francophones. What they didn't bargain for was the array of social problems you get when backward people are imported in large numbers. I doubt if France will take very many, it is a long way away!

"Sur la pont d'Avignon. "

I don't know how to say this in French, but if you jump, the remaining white people will only owe them more.

The French may owe minorites there something. I don't know their history that well.

But the problem with Affirmative Action is that it ignores incentives. Give a guy a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a guy, and anyone related to him, a fish, and he'll have ten kids and invite all his relatives over for dinner.

Reparations payments make a lot more sense, incentive-wise. If you owe a guy a few fish, because you oppressed his ancestors, issue a bond and pay him what you can (given the fact that the current population most certianly outnumbers the number of oppressed ancestors.) But don't start offering incentives to all of his future relatives and still-overseas cousins…you're asking for the population to change and for the payments to steadily increase if you do that.

still the "grandes ecoles" were and are the wealthiest classes promotion insturment that popular classes can't afford

so the 30% of students with a scholarship is a fair share if these students manage to pass the test of admission

Also it would be fair enough that they benefit of a 2 years of training courses too

My analogy was always the 100 meter dash. By using a stopwatch and a finish line, slow white guys are at a disadvantage. If you look at the racial makeup of the US Olympic Track and Field Team, we can see "disparate impact" of the Olympic trials in which the first guy to the finish line is chosen for the team. This is not fair. Either eliminate finishing first second or third as a "qualification," or give the white guys (and Asians, too, I guess) a ten or fifteen yard head start.

Also: the NBA clearly needs an Affirmative Action problem. (once saw some washroom graffitti: NBA needs affirmative action–give those poor white guys a chance to play.
Response: Get some skills, then you can play…
Response to Response: Then it wouldn't be Affirmative Action, would it?

Ironically, Frenchman Touqueville pointed out that freedom and equality would always be at odds with each other.

Haitians speak French because of the French so let's see what France will do!

They could help in the language barrier and they could also take in a few hundred thousand, or a few million, of them as their readjustment would be made millions of times easier.

I eagerly await the French reaction!
