I believe it is because affirmative action allows less-qualified people to get a job based on their race or sex. A person of African or Hispanic origin (especially if they're female) will get a job over a more qualified Caucasian man because of this racist law.
Raise up with me white brothers! We're not going to take this racism any longer! |

I don't HATE affirmative action, but it definitely needs tweaking. I think that need based should be based solely on economics.
I always tease my business friends though when they bitch about a government contract going to a hispanic owned business. "Don't like it? Marry a beaner and have the company in their name." |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Jun 11 2008, 01:03 PM) wouldn't change anything Sure it would. There are tons of economically disaffected white people that would benefit from this shit. Their skin color is the only thing that keeps them from it and that isn't appropriate in today's society. But that's really my opinion. I have it pretty well off with my family. Yet down the street, there are white families that struggle with their farms and can't afford to send their children to school, yet my brother and I get scholarships because of our ethnicity. Total BS. It should go to need based. |
