Ethnic Minorities Deserve Safe Spaces Without White People

I will address counter arguments. CA1 I agree with my opponent when he says that "discrimination based on race is racism." But unfortunately, if we did what my opponent said, we would inadvertently be discriminating. Lets say that race A discriminates against race B for about 300 years. Slowly, race relations increase, but there is still a gap in wealth concentration. Some people say that we should give race B a bump in the college admission process. But then the PCP (politically correct police) come and shut it down because its "reverse discrimination." Let me ask you a question. Wouldn't we be inadvertently discriminated because we allowed race A 300 years of discrimination but shut race B discrimination the second it was going to undo the damage? The point of this argument is not argue affirmative action or any policies like it but to show the dangers of being politically correct. I will add to this argument in my next counter argument. CA2/ CA3 First of, the point of the safe zone meetings was not to "add to society." They were not trying to end racism. The simple point of the meeting was to share experiences where minorities encountered racism. In your words, it was a "pity party." The safe zone is not for us, the general public. It is for the minorities who have encountered racism. The problem with this country and my opponents argument is political correctness. BootsWithDefer is so worried about being politically correct, he misses the point of the safe zones. It is just for discussion. The fact is there is white privilege in this country. Even Fox news anchor Megyn Kelly agrees with that. Caucasians, in the United States and on balance, don"t face the same challenges that other ethnic minorities face, on balance. Let me ask you a question. Can a nonalcoholic join an AA meeting? No. Isn't this the same situation as the safe zone except with alcoholics instead of discrimination? Yes. Why is there such criticism against the safe zone? Race attracts the PCP. CA4 I agree with my opponent when he says that the is a racist world. It is only natural. Our brains are wired to categorized. We do it with everything. Foods, animals, and even humans. But my opponent is suggesting to eradicate racism by giving everybody the politically correct mindset. This is not how we will solve racism. racism is based on stereotypes. Different races have different stereotypes. To solve racism, we must strive to make the stereotypes of each race the same. There must be educated African Americans and uneducated African Americans as with Caucasians. There must be Asians that are good at math and also Hispanics that are good at math. This can be achieved through education and other programs. But it will take time. It will be hard. But this is the only way to eradicate racism. Conclusion When we place discrimination into this focus, the pursuit of unraveling the potential of each race, a the importance of simple safe zone meeting becomes so small. This meeting is not going to start a civil war with Caucasians on one side and minorities on another. It is simply a meeting. It may be contradictory to the RCU"s stated mission. But is this such big a deal? At the end of the day we should treat it like an AA meeting, just a way to health scars from past discrimination.
