The Affirmative Action Hierarchy
4th April 2023
Try to imagine this story on CNN:
Whites only make up a little more than a quarter of NFL players, much less than half their percentage share of the overall population, and experts fear the harm this disparity produces. How will white fans identify with the teams in their cities and feel inspired to pursue careers in this lucrative field if they see so few people like themselves on the field? Will they be able to avoid the harmful conclusion that they are performatively inferior in football to those who occupy the majority of positions in the league, and will they suffer lasting psychological deficits as a result?
Can’t imagine it? Yeah, me neither.
