Universal pattern of affirmative action: promise is preferences are limited and temporary. In reality, they are permanent and expansive, ie preferential admissions turn into preferential grading and fake "studies" programs. From Sowell, Affirmative Action around the World https://t.co/uCO7sFTPuL

One of the more interesting things that triple OG Thomas Sowell discovered over the years ("Affirmative Action Around the World," 1984, 1996) is that NO country has ever peacefully gotten rid of AA programs by their originally intended fade-out date. Curious.
