Re: Affirmative Action.....yay or nay?
I guess I would have to say that I was for it when it was created (before my time), but in its current state in the Unites States I am almost completely against it.
I know of and have read of many people being turned down for jobs/higher education because they did not meet the demographic criteria, but their professional portfolio was either in-line or above the mean being accepted.
In a professional sense it should be completely about your background and how you conduct yourself; not what skin color or religion you are.
So basically I say NAY. I think affirmative action should no longer be present in the US and that it should continue to be illegal to discriminate against races, sexes, and religion in a professional setting (employment, education, housing, and economics).
That is about as far as I can take my view without getting political.
