Let me break it down for you.

AA tells a company that if you have two candidates for employment who both meet the required credentials, you have to pick the minority candidate IF and ONLY IF your minority quota has not been fulfilled.
The whole reason it was enforced was because Equal Opportunity did not then exist in the workforce and still doesn't (It may not be as bad as it was, but the hiring biases are still there).

It's a common misconception that less qualified minorities are taking jobs from the "whites who deserve them", but if that scenario actually did happen, those white people would be able to file for a discrimination suit (but they don't, because they know the qualifications were met).

Can't two people meet the same qualfications for something... and one person be more qualified?

I think you seem to be missing that.

 

If that is the case, like I said, they have a discrimination suit on their hands. People are quick to blame "the system" than let their pride take the hit.

If you want to keep harping on the fact that white people are more qualified, well a) that's racism right there, and b) whites have better education opportunities than minorities, referencing back to that 90% which I mentioned in the above post.

Ugh... you seem to not realize this is a socioeconomic issue.

Not a racial issue.

You should of been taught this in your Race and Gender class.

It's common stuff for both Psych and Soc Race and Gender classes.

That's not even an issue.  Affirmitive Action is supposed to make up for past racism.  Not current racism.

It's supposed to treat the fact that black people are poorer on average... which hurts education on average... this hurts their chances to get jobs on average, which hurts the perception of affrican americans, which keeps education lower.

None of this has to do with racism at all.  Except for past racism.
