Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

After Chu Jianghe finished speaking again, Payton shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "This classmate, I don't know much about what you said, so I can't refute you. But you have to remember , most of the world's first-class companies are American, they have a global perspective, and they are all companies that stand out from perfect competition. I think if a company cannot survive in market competition, then whether the company can still survive There is a need to exist in doubt.”

After speaking, Payton turned to the students present and preached: "The United States is a free and equal world, inclusive, open, and diverse. It is based on this that we can continue to attract, retain, and motivate outstanding talents. Let them realize their dreams in this environment, and the opportunity is equal for everyone.”

When the students who were still thinking heard Professor Payton's confusing words, many of them were moved.

Going abroad is full of temptation for everyone present.

In this era, anyone who wants to pursue something wants to go abroad. Many people feel a serious sense of crisis. But at this time, there is an opportunity that may change the status quo, so naturally they want to give it a try.

It's just because of the environment that only a few people can go out.

In the 80s, there was a craze for going abroad. Some people went abroad to learn new things, and some people went abroad for money and the prosperous world.

Regarding the choices of these people, Chu Jianghe did not want to blame them from the moral high ground, because everyone has the right to choose the life they want to live.

Chu Jianghe admired those who gave up their privileged lives abroad and returned to China resolutely.

There is no need to be too harsh on those who choose to stay in the United States.

Compared with China, you can earn thousands of dollars a month. Not everyone can resist this temptation.

It’s just that many people go abroad without clear goals. Most people who go abroad actually don’t know much about foreign countries and have no experience to draw from.

When it's dark when you go abroad, those who can go abroad can do so only with the courage and determination to risk everything, and the determination to push themselves to the edge.

Some people achieve great things and live the life of their dreams.

Some people are doing nothing abroad and still need to run for a living.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

A few years later, those who have sold their courtyard houses and are going abroad to wash dishes, and those who watch their classmates and colleagues who were not as good as themselves in the past have prosperous careers in China, only they themselves know how they feel.

Going abroad only changes the state of life, and the next few decades are life.

Chu Jianghe was somewhat dissatisfied with the American Dream preached by Professor Payton.

The American Dream means that one can live a good life through personal efforts. The more one pays, the more one gains.

In the past, many people in the United States did achieve this, but it was still more difficult for the Chinese-American group to achieve this.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was not repealed until World War II. This was not long ago. The U.S. Congress did not publicly apologize for this matter until 2012.

Yin Jian is not far away, and the alarm bell is ringing.

Regarding this matter, Chu Jianghe had something to say: "Professor Paton, I also have questions about the freedom and equality you mentioned. The Chinese Exclusion Act you enacted in 1880 is still in effect today. I don't know. How does Professor Paton explain this?”

Hearing this, Payton's face suddenly turned ugly. A boy from a poor country dared to question his country, which touched his nerves.

"This classmate, it is undeniable that those things were history, and the experience and lessons from history have made the United States what it is today. The United States is an inclusive country, and every group has its own value and is worthy of its existence. We have made our own contribution to the prosperity of the United States, and as long as you agree with American values, you are a part of the United States."

Chu Jianghe almost laughed out loud at this talk, and he continued: "Professor Payton, the Affirmative Action Act issued by you in 1961 still has the shadow of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which is naked discrimination. "

Most of the people in the venue were a little confused when they heard about the affirmative action. They didn't know why Chu Jianghe said this or where he got it. Especially those with good English skills were even more confused about the conversation between the two people. Listened attentively.

Professor Payton was stunned and said: "This classmate, since the implementation of the law in the 60s, the total college enrollment rate of ethnic minorities has increased by 63%. Affirmative action has undoubtedly made a huge contribution to educational equity. At the same time, it has greatly reduced the achievement gap between minority students and white students. No matter from any perspective, this is an excellent policy. I don’t know where you got the hearsay and said this is unfair. .”

Affirmative action, also known as preferential differential treatment, positive equal rights, etc., refers to a means to prevent discrimination against minority or vulnerable groups such as "color, religion, gender or national origin", and to eliminate discrimination by giving preferential treatment to these groups, thereby eliminating discrimination. achieve equality.

After years of development, this policy has now been widely used in public services, employment, and higher education fields, and has also caused huge controversy.

In a completely competitive admissions environment, many minority students will be replaced by white students and lose the opportunity to enter American universities.

It is really ridiculous to decide the allocation of resources based on the number of people.

They keep talking about equality, but why haven’t we seen an increase in the number of Chinese Americans joining politics?

After all, the United States still pays close attention to fundamental interests.

Chu Jianghe said: "Professor Payton, Asian students need to score 140 points more on the SAT than white students, 270 points more than Hispanic students, and 450 points more than African-American students before they can be compared at the same level. Is this what you call fairness? Haha..."

Chu Jianghe's words were spread by interested classmates. For a while, the venue was a little noisy and there was a lot of discussion.

Although they didn't know how Chu Jianghe knew these things so clearly, many people still looked in the direction of Professor Payton on the rostrum, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

Professor Payton was stared at closely by so many people. His expression was a little flustered at first, but then became calmer. He didn't understand what channel the other party got the information from, but he couldn't admit it casually at this time.

I saw Professor Payton saying with a stern look: "I was in a happy mood for today's exchange, but this classmate questioned me based on nationalistic sentiments, prejudice, and data that I don't know where it came from. I want to ask Ask this classmate, have you been to the United States? Do you know anything about the United States? Where did your data come from? Are these data true?"

Chu Jianghe didn't expect that the foreigner's face would change at any time, and he wouldn't answer your question directly. Instead, he would put his hat on him. This move was very awkward for him.

He was about to answer Professor Payton's question when he saw two staff members coming to him and saying with a cold face: "This student, because you disrupted the order of the meeting, please cooperate with our work."

With that said, the two people put on an invitation posture.

Okay, it seems that I am annoying people and they want to drive me away.
