Talk:Racial quota

message: This topic is seriously PoV biased.  I agree with most of it...but its really biased against quotas.
I disagree.  The article only describes one side of the issue.  Many people consider Racial quotas "reverse racism".  Both sides need to be discuessed in the article to have a NPOV.

replies: text: Incorrect. The picture is obviously representing a point of view, that's why it is in the criticism section. And that is fine. Please, read the rules carefully. Victão Lopes I hear you... 16:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, the image is not there to support a point of view, it is there to provide an example of criticism against these quotas, that is why the image is acceptable. Victão Lopes I hear you... 18:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the image is there to support a point of view and implies that those unable to pass the "vestibular", whatever that means, are less intelligent or clowns. It's unacceptable under Wikipedia guidelines. --Hfquei (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your interpretation of the image is unimportant to Wikipedia, as well as if you agree with it or not. That is a criticism section, and any media providing an example of criticism is welcome. The image is not there to suggest an idea, it is there to provide visual examples of the criticism, the content is free for everyone to agree or disagree, but not to hide, as you have been doing. It would be inappropriate to put it on top of the article, for example, but it is in the criticism section. See 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference#Activism, for example. There is a pic of a demonstration there, even though being in favour or against it is a matter of personal opinion, beyond Wikipedia's mission to provide information and knowledge. I'm going to put the picture back, and if you insist on removing it, I will search for a third opinion. Victão Lopes I hear you... 00:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

text: In that case, please check WP:NOTCENSORED, WP:PRESERVE and WP:NOIMAGE. And please, stop removing the image until the issue is solved, the quality of the article doesn't need to be compromised because of your personal opinions and interpretations. Besides, your interpretation was totally incorrect, the image is not trying to imply that people who doesn't pass the vestibular are clowns or less intelligent. The image, the sign and the student are trying to imply that the government would be treating them as clowns by creating a racial quota system. Victão Lopes I hear you... 19:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: I have added an image of a student protesting against racial quotas at the criticism section of this article, but Hfquei disagrees with the image, and considers it offensive and biased. As the discussion above proved useless to reach a consensus, I'm asking for a third opinion. In case the image is removed again before the end of this discussion, check for older revisions of the article to see if it is really offensive and/or biased. Thank you, Victão Lopes I hear you... 19:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
