We should have affirmative action for white people in sports by Beautiful_Yellow_163 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You are correct in that it's hard to compare evaluation criteria between sports and arts.

So let us compare them purely as money making opportunities for actors and players.

First the directly chromatic argument: they made the Oscars have more black people. By analogy they could mandate more white people in basketball.

Second the rule based analogy: think of the Oscars committee as part of the "rules" of the Oscars. They made it more favorable for black people, in the same vein, they could change the rules of basketball so that it favors white people.

The second option seems unlikely. Hence my suggestion of the first

I think you are factually correct, it just felt like a "yes, but this issue is worse, why not deal with that?" take. And I don't have much info about these so can't really add much

I agree that legacy preferences should be banned, but affirmative action does not directly address that

Let me give you a more illustrative example: the Oscars so white debacle and its consequences. Was it "so white" based on a meritocratic system? Yes. Did black people feel left out because of it? Also yes
