Affirmative Action = giving unfair advantage to a minority for the supposed purpose of achieving equality.
“Minority” is a rather relative term these days. Blacks are obviously the minority if you count them alone but if you lump them together with Hispanics clearly whites become the minority. Affirmative action has run its course. All it has achieved is giving positions of power or employment to persons that are less qualified who have usually made a mess of things. Many police chiefs in large metroplexes come to mind. Its time to drop AA and let the best qualified persons be chosen for the job.
The purpose isn’t “equality,” it is “diversity.”
That is why they are now using the term “micro aggression” to attack people who say things like “The best qualified person should get the job.” If AA goes away, they will have to find another way to achieve their goals. One way would be to instill guilt in those who think that competence is a relevant basis for choosing employees.
My mind boggles at the Orwellian state of modern US culture.
