This isn't my actual question. My REAL question is, am I missing something? Someone who's FOR Affirmative Action, please tell me what some more pros are, because I'm just not seeing them.
Pros:
It gives minorities a chance that they probably would not have received otherwise, which is great. Affirmative Action came at a time when it was sorely needed. However:
Cons:
1. Too many take advantage of the system.
2. It makes my friends who are minorities wonder if they got a job because they're a minority, or because they're qualified for it.
3. Most employers in most areas will no longer refuse a job due to the color of someone's skin.
4. A person who is a minority would not know if the person who employed them was racist or not, because of Affirmative Action.
There are more but I can't think of any right now. Can anyone help me out, explain to me how Affirmative Action is better than I think it is?
