The problem with this hypothesis is that affirmative action is designed such that it is perfectly designed to destroy social harmony. Breeds resentment in the excluded, creates easily visible badges of incompetence, requires an ever increasing apparatus of thought control.

If it was designed for social peace it was badly designed. If it was designed to promote racial conflict it was well designed. If people thought it was buying peace, they were fools and the people selling it to them were charlatans. It's about entirely predictable outcomes.

Philippe Lemoine @phl43I used to be radically opposed to affirmative action, but I changed my mind a few years ago precisely for this reason, i. e. because I realized that a measure of affirmative action was a necessary evil to preserve social harmony in a multicultural society. 1/3 https://twitter.com/aaronsibarium/status/1298038190482378752 …Show this thread2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

If you combine that with a segregation you can have a healthy society. Each group gets it own professional class and that class lives with and is in charge of their group's behavior and is given social backing to exercise that authority. Maps to the expectation of AA probably.

The people buying it probably expected it to be part of a package deal and that deal was reneged upon (the perils of having handshake deals with an amorphous group that can and will immediately defect on all deals because it's driven by internal holiness competition).
