Why Affirmative Action is Inherently Racist?

Martin Luther King said many years ago, when he said he had a dream…that someday, his children will be judged, not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character. However, the victimhood and undealt trauma of the race-conscious generations have resulted in the progressive activism of social racism with government-imposed racism. Simply put, affirmative action in fact prolongs and further promotes systemic racism in a society that should have thrived in meritocracy.

When we are able to look objectively as a nation at the immediate 3R issues (i.e. race, religion, and royalty) at hand in our home turf, Malaysia, we are not succumbing to what Justice Jackson dissented in the landmark case as “let-them-eat-cake obliviousness”. In fact, quite the opposite - we would be moving closer towards becoming a nation that overcomes racial discrimination when we allow the Constitution to be colour-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.
