Very trueWhen Affirmative Action first started, I saw quite a few blacks, Hispanics and women placed into jobs they were not prepared forI won't answer for white women since I am not a woman. I will say I saw undeserving blacks and Hispanics awarded jobs they could not handle-bad for everybody.Who gets affirmative action? Blacks? Did you IM2-were you first in line?Another example of white psychosis. And this is what your affirmative action education has produced white woman. Pure stupidity.
Whites. You have got what you think AA is since 1776. Now if you are referring to the Executive order, then the answer again is whites. White women specifically. Like rosie.
But they laid the groundwork for later hires and now nobody even notices
I think when we discuss this issue we come from a default position whereby nobody talks about the 188 years where white men were consistently placed in jobs they were not prepared for over women and people of color who were. And I think that history should be considered.
it was a good idea back then------it has outlived its value
When the supreme court has ruled that institutionalized racism is still a problem and huge gender inequities exists still today, the policy has not outlived it's usefulness.
White males had managerial and professional jobs reserved for them and them alone and often lacked the temperament and skills
They were selected based on who you know or what you looked like
