Richard Dawkins said affirmative action is “racist” and decried the pervasiveness of white guilt for the actions of their ancestors.
British evolutionary biologist and leading figure of the “New Athiest” movement Richard Dawkins has declared that affirmative action based upon skin colour is “racist” and decried the pervasiveness of white guilt for the actions of their ancestors.
“There’s an analogue of original sin, that white people are expected to feel guilt for what their ancestors — or maybe just people of the same skin colour — did to other people of a different colour,” Dakwins said. Dawkins continued to say that while he might be in favour of schools or other institutions adopting some form of affirmitive action for people from impoverished backgrounds, he opposed the current system which heavily weighs skin colour in deciding university admissions.
