Survey Says Millennials Overwhelmingly Oppose Affirmative Action
This doesn’t really fit with the liberal narrative, does it?

Who’da Thought? Millennials Overwhelmingly Oppose Affirmative Action
Writing in the University of Georgia’s The Red & Black, Katelyn Umholtz cannot seem to reconcile how Millennials can believe in a colorblind society … and also oppose affirmative action (my emphasis):
A survey conducted by MTV asked 3,000 Millennials ages 14 to 24 their thoughts on race-related issues, including affirmative action for college acceptance, in May. And what it found was seemingly paradoxical: 90 percent of Millennials surveyed “believe that everyone should be treated the same regardless of race,” yet 88 percent opposed affirmative action.
Thomas Greneker, a senior University of Georgia biology major from Valdosta, said it’s a “tricky debate” because diversity is so important. However, he said he does not think affirmative action is the fairest route to take when creating a diverse community.
“It’s not an equal approach in a push for equality,” Greneker said.
Seriously: why the phrase “seemingly paradoxical” and the word “yet” when comparing the belief in colorblindness to opposition to affirmative action?
Only those obsessed with diversity could see a contradiction between the two.

I am astonished at the stupidity of Millennials. Why would they believe that diversity is do important and competence is not? I guess that they have been brain-washed by the progressives. No country that forces diversity will ever be great.
