So there is a easy grading curve for blacks, easy one for Hispanics, a tough one for Asians and whites somewhere in the middle is how I see this.
So that means blacks are the least desirable to hire because their grades are reflected on race, which automatically makes them stupid.
If I were a minority, I would be insulted.
Exactly. "What, you're saying that because I'm (insert race here that is not white), I'm too stupid to earn my own good grades?" If anyone said that they were going to give me grades based on my gender, I'd leave that university.

However, Hansen’s interpretation is out of context and reflects a misunderstanding. Bensimon's point of proportional equity is intended as an outcome of plans like Inclusive Excellence being implemented and valued by institutions. This proportional and equitable distribution of grades arises (without intervention at the time of grading) by fostering living and learning spaces that are inclusive of historically marginalized students so that they can do their best learning and earn better grades; not through the “redistribution” of artificially-enhanced grades.
Well, it's on the UW's own website. (Last I knew, uwsa dot edu was the actual website to the school.) Go read it, it was linked here:

It's part of their Inclusive Excellence plan and it's called Representational Equity.
When you look under their "Diversity" paragraph, you're right, you won't find it. But if you read on, further down the exact same page titled, "Working Definitions for Inclusive Excellence", and under the paragraph titled, "Equity", and sub paragraph titled, "Representational Equity", you will see:

Emphasis mine. You can deny it all you want, it's right there, in black and white, for all to see.
Yeah, I've basically concluded that politics, ideologies, the various "isms" are religions. Especially for the left. Reasoning with them, logic, reality are all useless. There's no point discussing anything anymore.
Just think..now more minorities can succeed in Engineering and Medicine which can lead to high paying jobs.
Many professors already heavily curve grades based on how well the class does; in one of the anatomy and physiology classes I took, one of my friend's got a 68 (which is normally a D+), but due to the curve it became a B-.

Oh please don't "p**s down my neck and call it rain". It's exactly that. This kind of thing is the left's Newspeak double-talk verbal wall paper they use to talk about race. You think we were born frickin' yesterday!? I guess next you're going to tell me you've got a bridge to sell me.... I knew the left was just out and out lying at this point. No point in even listening to their polysyllabic blah anymore.

But I agree, this isn't a good idea.
It depends on the school. One of my professors failed nearly half the class and gave no curve to adjust to grades.
