Affirmative Action has helped many people to get jobs and get accepted into college. Because it has helped so much, a lot of those who were helped do not want to let it go. I belive that Affirmative Action has outdated its time.
Affirmative Action had a good cause however, I belive that some of the major rules that were made are not fair to others. With Affirmative Action , the highest achievers were sometimes not picked to get into a college, such as The University of Michigan, because the school did not have enough of a particular ethnic group admitted into the school.
Altough Affirmative Action helped to get past racism many years ago, it is not fair to those today who have really worked harder than the next person. Affirmative Action is now adding to segregation and racism in our country.
Every person should have the same oportunity to get a job or to get accepted into a school. If each person has a different point scale by which they will be measured, the chance of getting the most qualified person is very small.
