IDK, I'm not from a country that did stuff like that, so don't try to pin some original sin from the US history on me. I'm from a pretty homogenous country with no racial issues.
Now are you saying only whites will be able to understand 5th grade physics and nobody else? Or that whites can't be stupid too?
Personally I don't care about your skin color, or other factors, if you're THAT stupid, I don't want you deciding the future of our country, period, since you're putting everyone in danger.
If you can't pass 5th grade physics, you're not fit to be voting on the country's nuclear energy policy, simple.
You could replace skin color with any attribute and it will probably happen. You can see it play out across the world time and time again, in any type of downturn or bad luck people on average find it easier to blame another group than themself. Take this a step forward and you get momentum to carve requirements that would exclude that group. Oh you want to participate in voting? You need to be able to list the Qur’anic commandments to be able to vote or whatever your flavor of restriction is.
No, they are saying that your so-called idea has already been tried, but what actually happened was that <insert majority> who already had control set it up so <insert majority> could vote easily while <insert minority> could not. Could be race, could be something else. There is no such thing as an "objective test" for your case, because someone somewhere would need to determine it is objective. Who verifies that person, and who verifies the people who verify them?
>No, they are saying that your so-called idea has already been tried, but what actually happened was that <insert majority> who already had control set it up so <insert majority> could vote easily while <insert minority> could not.
That already exists in our current system. Whoever's parents reproduced the most, now has majority of votes. Home owners are majority and decide housing policies for those who don't owe property.
Are these more fair, or just another form of mob rule we got accustomed to out of centuries of inertia, like fish in the water? When did we decided that rules from 300 years ago shouldn't be touched to be updated to reflect current challenges?
>There is no such thing as an "objective test" for your case, because someone somewhere would need to determine it is objective.
Currently it's our legal system that decides what is fair and objective, that's how it works today in most countries. And that's not set in stone, but can always be changed on a dime if the majority of the population decides to, or in case of national catastrophes like war, since all laws are made up and only enforceable as long as the majority of the society with support of the military agree with them.
>Who verifies that person, and who verifies the people who verify them?
Who verifies the judge is fair? Who verifies that person who verifies the judge? And so on. Same principles here.
The concern isn't that only whites will be smart enough.
The concern is that the current power structure will use this as a convenient way to bias the voter pool in its favor through strategic selection of questions.

Also going back on this comment. What country are you from? I have always found that the US gets the short stick when in reality these problems have happened everywhere. Usually the countries that think they have no problems are because they are homogenous.
Not sure why this is an unpopular opinion. It is one of the most ridiculous statements to say you are from a homogenous country and have no racial issues. I guarantee they exist but you live in a homogenous country.
