Affirmative Action Is As Affirmative Action Does
By
Today’s Wall Street Journal “Marketplace” Section has a very interesting story on the cover (can’t link–subscription only).
Apparently, Black workers are angry that they are now being passed over in favor of Hispanic workers for hiring and promotions. It’s all about filling affirmative action quotas, and now Blacks are not the favored minority. Hispanics are.
Set up an unfair system that is built on discrimination, and eventually, it will be unfair to and discriminate against you. In a merit-based system, that would NEVER be a concern . . . if you merit being chosen.
