Personally I think it is making racism worse and the hatred between the races will escalate even more. I see it every day and it is not healthy for society in general.
I definitely agree with this. But you might also be ignoring the fact that there really is, or at any rate there was, a situation where the minorities really were getting overlooked even though they had the skills.
Sadly though, like you said, now affirmative action in its current implement might even be making things worse.
I fully agree that people were discriminated against and it was blatant and so obvious. The problem is that two wrongs don't make a right and there needs to be a balance.
The problem is certain jobs you have to go with qualifications. Airline pilots used to have to be good at mathematics for instance. It is insulting as they have now lowered the standards required for that job. I for one won't fly with that air line ever again as how safe are they now. I want the best pilot possible to fly the plane I am on.

True! I absolutely agree. As @aussieninja mentioned in one of our exchanges on this thread (you can check it out if you like) perhaps the greatest option would be to make decisions based on some more pragmatic metric that would ensure efficiency while also making way for a more natural diversity.

Thanks for sharing your insights.
Cheers.
