Washington State may have defeated leftist move to gut anti quota law

[Q13Fox] OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A measure that reinstates the use of affirmative action in state employment, contracting and admission to public colleges and universities was narrowly losing Tuesday night in early returns.

Referendum 88 asked people whether they wanted to approve or reject Initiative 1000, which was passed by the Legislature in April. I-1000 amends current statutes that prohibit state government from discriminating against or giving preferential treatment to individuals or groups based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, or public contracting.

While it was passing in King County, the state's most populous, it was being rejected in most other areas.
The left put tricky wording in the proposition to hide the fact that it would gut previous law and also it required a 'no' on the proposition to do this. The pro quota people outspent the anti quota people by about 10-1 and the pro quota side had numerous endorsements from newspapers, politicians and big biz. Lot of votes yet to count so this is not over

#1 Oops, wrong result. This must be voted upon repeatedly until the right answer is achieved and then never voted on again.

#2 Once Quota sets in, you cannot come back from the shit. While for many selfish, incompetent and outright criminal people and their families, it is a means to an end; for any country it is a means to 'the end'.

A country like India was crippled in her very early years by pro-Quota laws, relegating us to remain the third world probably forever. Only the parts of govt that did not allow for Quotas remained dependable. The rest is all a pigsty of corruption and incompetence.

#3 All "quotas" are a way to discriminate based on things outside the ability to do the job, this will always tend to corruption.

#4 So when do the "No Asians need to apply" signs go up?

The Left has always been racist. It's all projection on their part to sell their guilt upon others.
