QUOTE, Afirmative action only tries to fix discrimination by creating more discrimination. The problem comes up with how do we try to ensure that people are going to hire others based on their qualifications and abilities, not their skin color, religion, ext. We as a society are obviously not quite there yet, but we are making progress. I would like to write more but dont have much time right now. I will try and write a more serious response to you later because this is a pretty important issue. There are good points and bad points to affirmative action.
-------

I will wait for your serious insight and I am thinking hard about the serious stuff you did post!

QUOTE, Now that Hispanics are the largest minority group, should companies hire Hispanics instead of blacks to reflect the makeup of the general population? Perhaps it's time for Sharpton and Jack$on to retire from the public eye.
-------

The real question is should Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton represent more than one minority at a time?
