Affirmative action is literally called positive discrimination in the UK.
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/positive_discrimination British (in the context of the allocation of resources or employment) the practice or policy of favouring individuals belonging to groups known to have been discriminated against previously.

First off, kudos to these girls. I love seeing students accomplish innovations like this, and I'm really proud of them. I hope they have a bright future ahead. You have some fine points, but the people who vote for them for their race and gender will only vote once and will not try to start a massive witch hunt that will dramatically change results. If the losers at 4chan are butthurt they are free to vote for the white males. Nothing wrong here. Now, they are trying to rally thousands of people and hack the voting system which is cheating and will drastically favor the competition. All because of bigotry. The supporters of these girls aren't trying to dupe the system. --- Alpha Sapphire FC: 2552 5569 3267 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Funbazooka posted...It's a completely valid interpretation. You're making a sweeping generalization based on race and with zero regard for background or career choice. The discussion turned this way because DifferentialEquation brought this up: DifferentialEquation posted... What about a white guy becoming extremely successful in hip hop or becoming one of the best NBA players of all time? Would his race make his achievement more impressive? ledbowman adamantly refused to admit this was even unusual (because then he won't have to admit the double-standard) by hand-waving away with: ledbowman posted... It's not amazing to see a white man rise in any industry. That does not address the example DifferentialEquation brought up. It is not a counterpoint. ledbowman's arguing in bad faith, and in turn you are as well. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West ... Copied to Clipboard!

4chan did a scummy thing, not surprising. They used a legitimate and reasonable question of why bring race or gender into this as a platcorm to launch racial tirades. But the question still stands, why bring race and gender when their project is perfectly worthy of all the praise in its own right.

_OujiDoza_ posted...why the female group would try to use their race and gender as a prop to win the contest... What does underrepresentation have to do with bringing up race and gender in a contest where its about the merits of the projects itself? You can say black women are underrepresented in the field, and thats accurate, but that doesnt mean you can use that fact to make your project somehow more worthy of winning than others.
