Tricia Rose and Raul Reyes disagree with Cenk that affirmative action ‘reinforces stereotypes’

USA Today’s Raul Reyes and Professor Tricia Rose join Cenk’s power panel to debate whether the U.S. is ready to eliminate affirmative action. Cenk worries that keeping the legislation paints minorities as people who always need extra help. He says, “at some point, we’re reinforcing the stereotype.” Rose thinks the national conservation has been distorted to make it seem “that fundamental white rights are being reduced. And that’s not it at all.” Reyes thinks preferential treatment beyond race should be investigated. “Why don’t we start looking at the preferences given to legacy students?” Reyes says. “They receive many preferences and special needs that are not given to everybody.”
