Jackson, The Wise Latinx, and Kagen are all excellent examples of the failures of affirmative action. I hope that is apparent to the vast majority of Americans.

I hoped the same thing twenty years ago when it came to the issue of making hiring decisions based upon basic knowledge, intelligence, and experience rather than checking boxes to make sure there was the correct mix included.
I’m still waiting for my hopes to be realized.
I was turned down, in the 1970’s, for a truck driving job with a major grocery wholesaler, due to AA.
The interviewer flat out told me he’d like to hire me on the spot, but had to fill 3 AA positions first. They hired 3.
#1 didn’t show up for the first day of work, #2 made 3 trips & quit, #3 showed up drunk, about 3 days in.
I found other employment in the mean time, so never went back.
