Clever stuff, mind you for a blog called "Affirmative Action in Canada", I wouldn't expect something about SAT's.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the first one, is presumably about scholarships for minorities. Those are all good, but they shouldn't be given out simlpy to all who are not white.
I don't want exclusive scholarships given out to middle-upper class Asians, and not provided for whites of the same economic status.
Some of the comics are pretty good. I really liked the one with the mountain for the very reason I disliked the overall summary. The box is the boost that affirmative action gives. I also liked the SAT one. If certain people state their ethnicity, they are almost guaranteed to do well, regardless of what they know. I understand that the past wasn't great in Canada with discrimination, but I don't see why we need to basically give everyone but the white man an easy road.
ReplyDeleteOne other little comment, the second last comic, I can't read, even after I zoomed in. You may want to consider just getting rid of that one completely.
The comedies is awesome. It reveal the fact of the affirmative action and easy to understand. But it seems that all of the comedies focus on the same theme. I think it will be prefect if you put some of the positive effect of it. Maybe the sarcasm is the feature of the comedy.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the second last comic (could be clearer though, had to open up a new page to see it). It very clearly defines affirmative action, showing that the concern is more for creating diversity than finding the most qualified person for the job. They used the cow with the afro to create diversity, but he obviously isn't qualified at all, him being a cow and all, and the other guy has to leave the job that he deserves. It's not fair.
