Affirmative was created way back when to help blacks get back on their feet etc etc. Now it seems a lot of races use it as a crutch, assuming that because they're a minority that they'll get preferential treatment and that if they don't then it's racism. It was supposed to have just faded away as things became more and more equal, but lo and behold, it's still here.
Anyone think it should stay? What are your reasons? |

QUOTE I think affirmative action should get tweaked. I knew someone in my school who was like a star football player, his parents were extremely successful, he was smart but he was also black. He got into Harvard. Everyone was sure he had a good chance to get in based on merit but everyone knew it was locked in because of his race. I don't understand. You say he was smart and had a good chance, so what makes you think that wasn't the reason he got into Harvard? It makes it seem as if Blacks in Ivy league colleges are accepted because of their race. |
