GoldenEye 007 said: If it has, it's only because the organization failed to understand what affirmative action says and is. It's about giving someone a fair shake that they otherwise would not have had due to their minority status in the hiring process. Not hiring someone unqualified over someone qualified. It's about if there are two people with similar qualifications, emphasize the one that's minority because they generally get fucked in every other aspect of life disproportionately more than others for reasons.

I think it can be safely assumed that either side of the equation (underqualified white/black people getting employed by the influence of racial motivation) take place quite frequently.Why wouldn't these minorities have had that "fair shake" if these people have similar qualifications? Aren't you assuming that the organization views being a minority as a disadvantage?Not to mention that it's still racially based preference (which is still immoral IMO), however benefits it may bring.edit:Shouldn't "Not counting minorities against them during approval process" be something the company is doing already anyway? If that's what this plan was supposedly aiming at, doesn't that admit that the current employment policies arbitrarily favor white people?
