"Affirmative action" is discrimination. It is showing favourable treatment towards certain groups of people simply for the colour of their skin, while putting other groups of people at a disadvantage simply for the colour of their skin. For example, a white person with GPA 3.8 might be less likely to be accepted into a university than a black person with that same GPA. Why? Because the white person doesn't "add to the diversity" of that university, while the black person does. As you can see, the white person has been discriminated against on the basis of the colour of their skin, and therefore, is offered unfavourable treatment, while the black person is offered favourable treatment simply for the colour of their skin. It doesn't matter what each of them has achieved; if they "add to the diversity" of a school, they have a higher chance of getting into university than someone who doesn't "add to the diversity." Just because a race was disadvantaged before doesn't mean they should be given extra privilege now. Everyone should work equally hard to get something, they shouldn't be given favourable/disfavourable treatment on the basis of the colour of their skin. That is discrimination and racism.

Hmmm. Well y'kno what! I agree with OP. This is a good cause. We need to put an end to this! (Though admittedly I'm only supporting OP because he has a white avatar.

Affirmative action should end for that reason, too. Women should not receive preferential treatment in receiving university places simply because they're women and have been oppressed by not being given the right to vote.

"Affirmative action should end for that reason, too"

"too"

Then why not include it when you were making your op?

You just came out the door with people of colour on affirmative action when we don't even benefit from it as much as whites.

Let's also bring equality to the legal system. End unequal sentencing, bias against men, and a women's ability to convict someone based on little evidence.

@Danny
Affirmative discrimination does not favour whites. I'd just like this preferential treatment of minorities to stop. Sure, they might have been discriminated against. However, we no longer live in an era in which there is segregation and discrimination. We don't need to give people preferential treatment for education or anything - hard work and effort matters more than external skin colour or gender.

"Affirmative discrimination does not favour whites."

Google who benefits from affirmative action the most.

Stop making threads about crap you don't know.

If affirmative action helped white women better than black men why did obama become president instead of hillary clinton?
