Affirmative action rewards some, and at the same time, punishes others.

I can understand why affirmative action may have made some sense in 1965, but don’t understand why we still have it. And also don’t understand how affirmative action morphed into quota systems. There has been lots of anecdotal evidence that Asians are discriminated against to make way for less qualified applicants of other ethnicities.

Affirmative action does not reward ‘some.’ It rewards low performers at the expense of the more qualified.

I can understand why affirmative action may have made some sense in 1965 Only to idiots and evil people.

Quotas are quotas, racism is racism, and "affirmative action" has ALWAYS been both.

How 'affirmative action' morphed into quotas is because of one thing: metrics.

everything is reduced to a number and then limits/goals set, maybe never written down but everyone knows them.

The gub'mint, more than any other entity is metric driven NOT result driven
