For or against?
I'm against affirmative action. It's simply not fair to deny entry to a college to someone with an astronomical gpa so that someone with a 2.0 gpa can get in just because of their skin color. Racism, pure and simple. |

now, we can't all be against it. so i guess i'll argue for it.
Affirmative action is neccisary. sure, it's not perfect. but it's necissary. because... - minorities have been suppressed for ages. whites have been going to colleges like harvard before slaves were emancipated. (like you were ever a slave) - people disciminate against minorities. it happens. affirmative action counteracts this. (by disciminating some more?) - you do not take a person bent over by the weight of chains, remove them, take them to the starting line, and tell them they are free to compete fairly with everyone else. you take them, take off the chains, to the finishing line, tell them they're free to compete with everyone else. alright, so i can't argue for. it seems wrong... |
