Affirmative Action is harmful and insulting

Reality Check with Jasmine Moulton

While affirmative action may seem like a compassionate policy to help those who are in need of it, the true effects are not so rosy. Through these policies, the government virtue signals their progressive tendencies towards diversity, inclusion, and equity. In principle, affirmative action may look like it’s helping marginalized populations, but it’s really not.

It’s time for a Reality Check.

In this episode, Jasmine proves that affirmative action policies actually do more harm than good for the communities they purport to help. Not only are they insulting, they don’t work or they’re based on incorrect data. Whether it’s about the gender pay gap or hiring based on skin colour, disparity is not evidence of discrimination. The reality is much more complicated.
