Affirmative Action

The only thing worse than discrimination is affirmative action, which is essentially oposite discrimination. Affirmative action upholds quotas and undermines motivation and hard work.
Instead of a company (or school) hiring (or accepting for admission from) the most qualified person, they hire a minority, who may or maynot be qualified. Not to say that minorities can't be qualified (because of course they are), but without affirmative action, if they were the most qualified, they would get the job (or into the school) anyways.
Affirmative action isn't all bad though. For companies (or schools) that do discriminate - only accepting a certain race and/or certain sex - this puts them in a small check. It seems that the people hired in this way may not always feels comfortable in the environment they are hired (accepted). Most people don't want to be hired (accepted) because of the color of their skin or their gender.
Affirmative action can be abused and become discrimination, which is what it is, at it's core, fighting. Instead of the minority being overlooked, the majority is. As long as discrimination is here (which it unfortunately always will), affirmative action will be here to keep it in check.
