Affirmative action is complete bullshit. I would have recommended dry land fish's original post if she hadn't included the bit about torturing terrorists to death, because other than that she was spot on.
Jobs should go to those most qualified to do them. People should be treated as equals; all affirmative action does is be racist towards white people. If people were treated as equals, we wouldn't look at the colour of a person's skin when doing an interview; we'd look at their qualifications.
I'm working hard to get a decent degree, and it is wholly unfair that I could be turned down a job simply because I'm white.
On the terrorism point; all we do by torturing them and killing them is sink to their level. There is no difference in my mind between a person who flies planes into buildings, and a person who tortures and executes those responsible. They are both killers; they both deserve justice, but not at the sacrafice of their human dignity. Send them to jail until they die if need be, but don't become them.
