I found a few articles on affirmative action. Mainly just examples of when it was abused or useful in the past. Then I came across this "article", which frankly is only a paragraph explaining how mindless the concept really is, to which I strongly agree.
This author says it perfect. The theory is of affirmative action is discrimination in itself. "Its policies totally judge people solely on skin color and gender"...exactly.
If a man and a woman are applying for a job and the man is more qualified, is it really fair that the woman gets hired...just because they have met there maximum amount of men on the payroll?
I understand the benefits this may have...there are still racist, sexist people out there who don't treat people equally. But I think, nowadays, in terms of scholarships and jobs it's causing more problems than it's solving.
