Reverse Discrimination Case Study

In 1973 a thirty-three year-old Caucasian male named Allan Bakke applied to and was denied admission to the University of California Medical School at Davis. In 1974 he filed another application and was once again rejected, even though his test scores were considerably higher than various minorities that were admitted under a special program. This special program specified that 16 out of 100 possible spaces for the students in the medical program were set aside solely for minorities, while the other 84 slots were for anyone who qualified, including minorities. What happened to Bakke is known as reverse discrimination. Bakke felt his rejections to be violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th

Disparate treatment may range from obvious discrimination, to subtle differences in treatment. Documination may be needed to file a complaint with the employment division in her state, based on discrimination by disparate treatment. Keeping a paper trail of documented issues in regards to discrimination is very important because these cases can lead to legal actions.

Reverse discrimination first gained notoriety in the 1970’s and has blossomed into a serious concern as to whether the protection of minorities discriminates against the majority (Does Affirmative, 2009). The affirmative action law was written to protect individuals of all races not just minorities. Managers should be educated on the positive impact of discrimination through professional development trainings and seminars, implementing white papers is a great way to deal with discrimination in the workplace. Meritocracy and diversity often seem to be at odds and a certain tension arises when the two are considered when hiring decisions are made (Walton, Spencer, & Erman, 2013). Jerry Falwell Sr. once said your greatest opportunity is often

In the middle of this debate, we have the moderate. They tend to want to compromise between both views and try to take the golden mean of any political issue. A reflection of this compromising trait would be to take race and sex out of the equation and “considering socioeconomic status” (Potter 2013). Since the target of the Liberals is to help the disadvantaged, lower classes blacks and hispanics, then why not make is for all races in that class to help please the Conservative more since reverse discrimination “reverse discrimination” (Williams 2017). This can be seen in places like Oklahoma with their “State Question 759” where they made it illegal to take race, sex, color, national origin,religion, or sexual orientation...” into considering

The United States is the superpower on this globe now. It is a developed country with diversified cultures such as Asian, European, African, and etc.. America has a dominating power over the economy, education, politics, military and culture all around the world. Also, it has advanced industries, ideas and some of the smartest scientist. According to editor Robert Schlesinger in the news "The U.S. entered 2016 with an estimated population of 322,762,018 according to an end-of-year estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, and white people are 77 percent of the population." In the other words, 23 percent different races are in the U.S., which makes racial discrimination a big problem in American society. In the other words, 23 percent different

Identify and describe the specific issues that Maalick encountered in the workplace. Do the actions of other workers at Trenton represent discrimination and harassment? What elements of laws are important for Trenton to consider?

According to the National Pro Bono Resource Centre, (2011) discrimination and rights are still violated against Aboriginal people. This report investigates the social justice issue surrounding discrimination and recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander in the Constitution.

The American Dream is the idea that in America, people have the ability to reach success and wealth, while maintaining a happy self and family. Immigrants from countries around the world have traveled to America, for nearly a century now, to achieve this dream of riches and happiness. The American Dream is unattainable, because the obstacles of achieving the it are larger for certain genders, races, and social classes.

Racial discrimination is one of the most prevalent issues in today’s society.8 People are always contemplating what is right, equal, fair, acceptable, and just, whenever it comes to the treatment of other racial groups in America. The United States is on one the most diverse and liberal countries in the world. The American dream is rooted in progressivism, the idea of growing ahead without growing apart. However, the American dream falls short for many minority groups, especially African Americans. Discrimination is defined as the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or other arbitrary reasons.9 According the United States Census Bureau, there are over 42 million African Americans in this country

Many people would say, “So it is possible, members of the LGBT community can successfully adopt children in South Dakota.” But that is not my point here. The fact that this community is being discriminated against in the first place is disgusting. Someone so cruel and so unaccepting of other people just because they are different than them, to so much of an extent where they are going to keep a child from finding a home, is someone that needs to be stopped. Someone who promotes this kind of behavior should not be able to be in office. They are the main reason we can not get America to see each other as equals. Starting to accept people for who they are is the first step in making America a better place to live for everyone.

Women in the workplace get discriminated against due to their gender. There is a sense of them being "weak" and to nice to lead a group by their male coworkers. Women should be in business to create a more diverse work environment and to bring a feminine touch to business. Discrimination in the workplace occurs often but should not discourage women to go into business. Women bring a certain emotional aspect to the work environment that cannot be brought by men.

Throughout the movie trailer “Remember the Titans”, we can conclude that the objective of the coach and the team is to win their first season championship game. Winning is the main point of sports and one of the way that sports team help in diminishing race discrimination is actually by sharing the same goal. This view is further supported by Gregory Kaliss in his book, “Men’s College Athletic and the Politics of Racial Equality: Five Pioneer Stories of Black Manliness, White Citizenship, and American Democracy”, where he said that the athletes can unite since they all share the same goal (175). Kaliss also further proved that in all of his five case studies; on some level, validated the argument that different races can work together and achieve

This particular case is very unique because it’s a very theoretical argument in some ways. The student won his case originally and was allowed to attend law school. His argument of reverse discrimination was found to have merit because he was not admitted to the University of Washington state law school but other less qualified students were. Those students happened to be minority students. So the trial court in 1971 ordered that he be admitted to the university. Then in his second year the judge’s decision in this case was reversed by the state’s high court. Which seems pointless to me because he has already been admitted and been working o earning his degree for almost two years. I understand clearly evidence was found that caused the

As the new manager for the Revenue Cycle division, I know that each department (scheduling, pre-registration, registration verification, financial counseling, billing, so on) provides an opportunity for error and risk resulting in unpaid claims. What kind of compliance plan is in place to minimize inaccuracies?

After reading both articles, “Does Reverse Discrimination Exist?” and “Because reverse discrimination is a real thing”, where the topic of reverse discrimination is discussed I would have to conclude that reverse discrimination does not exist in our society. Often times I find that the “reverse discrimination” discussion is often started by white people when people of another race bring attention to racism and discrimination, or create opportunity specific to themselves that white people aren’t a part of. It seems the reasoning to justify the ongoing reverse racism argument is to somehow “prove” that people of other races don’t have it that bad, because they are not the only ones that are put at a disadvantage due to their race. I believe
