Whoopi outraged by Supreme Court ruling, ‘The View’ hosts turn focus on white women.

Affirmative Action: A Complicated Topic of Discussion

Affirmative action, with all its benefits and flaws, has always been a complex and nuanced subject. It requires careful consideration and thoughtful analysis. However, when it comes to discussing this topic on “The View,” a show more interested in feelings than facts, it becomes one of the worst conversations to have.

Nevertheless, with the recent Supreme Court ruling that found affirmative action unconstitutional in college admissions, the topic became unavoidable on the talk show.

And as expected, it didn’t go well:

“The Supreme Court has upset a 45 year precedent, ruling [affirmative action] unconstitutional for universities to consider race in admissions,” a visibly annoyed Whoopi Goldberg began. “Now the 14th Amendment is supposed to promise equal protection, but if everyone was actually treated equally, we wouldn’t have had to put in affirmative action.”

Goldberg’s meltdown continued as she compared wanting a meritocracy to wanting segregation.

“Wouldn’t have had to do it. People wouldn’t have had to march, and beg, and gotten hosed and all of these things that people did to just balance us out with everything else going on in the country,” Goldberg said.

Unfortunately, the other co-hosts of “The View” didn’t make things any better. In fact, it devolved into full-faced racism and sexism.

“The group that has been most successful in accessing diversity initiatives are white women,” co-host Sunny Hostin said.

Despite the clear implication in Hostin’s statement, Goldberg jumped in to defend her, claiming she wasn’t saying anything against white women.

But perhaps the most telling moment was when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, the token Republican on the panel, mentioned that it was actually Asian American students leading the charge against affirmative action.

How did the other hosts respond to this fact?

Hostin dismissed Asian student concerns about racial representation quotas because of “legacy” and “sports” admissions.

Goldberg, on the other hand, seemed unable to process the idea that non-white people were spearheading the opposition to affirmative action.

Instead of addressing the issues head-on, she defaulted to her racist talking points, focusing on how different racial groups might feel about the Supreme Court’s decision.

While “The View” missed an opportunity to delve into deeper issues surrounding college admissions, such as the falling black enrollment in California universities after the removal of affirmative action, they did stumble upon an interesting thread.

What is it that leads to these trends in college admissions, whether it’s cultural, spiritual, or something else?

Speaking from personal experience, immigrant Asian parents often have a strong fixation on attending prestigious Ivy League schools. Is this fixation ingrained in young Asian-Americans? Perhaps.

But rather than exploring these thought-provoking questions, “The View” chose to focus on the mundane and derivative topic of “racism.”

Interestingly, college enrollment has declined across the board since 2010, according to the Education Data Initiative. This is a much more substantive and meaningful discussion about racial subcultures and the diminishing value of a college degree.

Unfortunately, “The View” missed the mark once again.
