Yes i believe that the affirmative action policy is b.s. Ive had to deal with these politics while managing a few different tire shops. Its actually racist and offensive to EVERYONE involved. its like saying minorities need an extra helping hand....but on the other hand if you look at the other half of the country, such as the bible belt it also acts as a safeguard toward any future ignorance/bigotism/racism.
The biggest problem i have out of all of this? We have a minority president, if he can get the job without affirmative action then I believe WE as a collective whole of a country should be able to toss aside that crutch and even the playing field for everyone. If I was a minority I would be offended if I got a job over a more qualified person just based on my race.
(skirting close to politics but not really)
