QUOTE(kryogenix @ May 16 2004, 8:24 PM) bah, affirmative action isn't fair. people should be accepted for their qualification, not because they are a minority. *nods* and it's reverse discrimination. I don't necessarily agree completely with it... maybe instead of banning it, it should be restricted or maybe lower requirements and standards? |
