The topic of affirmative action is big and important these days.
As Indian-American Vijay Chokal-Ingham relates in this fascinating clip, the concept of affirmative action is actually a racist one because it essentially perpetuates reverse racism.
For those readers who are unfamiliar, Chokal-Ingham recently wrote a book called “Almost Black: The True Story of How I Got into Medical School by Pretending to Be Black,” the title of which is a description of Chokal-Ingham’s real-world experience applying to and then attending Saint Louis University’s elite medical school.
As Chokal-Ingham says, the process of academic admissions at many colleges and universities in the U.S. is extremely distorted by affirmative action, which favors applicants of one ethnicity over another and allows people who apply who belong to a preferred race of applicants to have lower grades and lesser qualifications than those of other backgrounds. In fact, in this clip, Chokal-Ingham supplies specific statistics to Infowars’ Owen Shroyer, who’s taken aback by Chokal-Ingham’s story.
Surprisingly, Chokal-Ingham says that due to affirmative action, whites are not the most discriminated-against ethnic group in the country — Asians are. And in fact, a new lawsuit against Harvard University has claimed the school denies more admissions to Asian applicants than those of any other demographic group.
Today, Chokal-Ingham is no longer attending medical school, but instead has become an expert on the subject of race and academic admissions. Watch this clip and learn what he’s discovered.
