What’s your policy concerning affirmative action?

I think the person most qualified should get the job, if he’s white, he gets the job. If that person is black, he gets the job. The problem is some people won’t hire minorities, so that complicated things. But forcing people to hire a certain threshold of minorities seems wrong, too.

What’s your opinion in this?

I would be for affirmative action if it worked. It doesn't. See mismatched theory
See resentment theory
See guilt theory

I love it when it displaces the people that voted for it.

It doesn’t need to work, your people have a moral obligation to do right for the wrongs they did for 100s of years

400+ years of slavery and you wanna complain about a little AA? Fuk you.

Let the person who is best qualified get the job. Funny enough, it isn't blacks who benefit the most from affirmative action, it's white women.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Its stupid.

Why in hell would a company or school want people there that are less qualified just because of skin color or sex or whatever. Nothing would ever get done right. Eventually they would get replaced by someone qualified and they would hire another non qualified person for a different job.

Why waste all that time and effort when you could just have done it right the first time.

I think affirmative action is one of the few federal laws that are actually systematically racist.

Because that's not how AA works. derp.

As a Latino and a Republican I’m between a rock and a hard place with this issue. Latinos in my family might say I’m a race traitor for not defending affirmative action.
