QUESTION 1
According to Steele, achieving proportionate representation of races in places like college campuses and corporate offices also achieves the further goal of establishing real diversity.
False
Steele argues that achieving proportionate representation does not necessarily guarantee real diversity. Real diversity goes beyond just the numerical representation of different races; it involves a deeper understanding and appreciation of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Simply having a proportional number of individuals from various races does not automatically ensure a truly diverse and inclusive environment.
QUESTION 2
Steele rejects affirmative action as a legitimate form of reparation because there is nothing that whites can do to repay people of color for the historical suffering they have endured.
False
Steele does not reject affirmative action as a form of reparation. He acknowledges the importance of affirmative action in addressing past injustices and promoting opportunities for historically marginalized groups. While he recognizes that historical suffering cannot be fully repaid, he supports affirmative action as a means to provide greater access and equality for people of color in areas where they have been historically disadvantaged.
