From the Unintended Consequences Basket
oopsie!
... affirmative action now confronts a challenge to its very reason for existing.
..."The primary rationale for affirmative action is that America is institutionally racist and institutionally sexist,” said Ward Connerly, the leader of state-by-state efforts to end what he and others consider policies of reverse discrimination. “That rationale is undercut in a major way when you look at the success of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama."
Obama says that affirmative action can help overcome discrimination. However, he said that affirmative action cannot be used as a quota. In a nutshell, Obama’s stance on affirmative action is that you cannot use something without looking at the person. He said everything needs to be taken account.
uhm.... what, now?
However, McCain plans to reject affirmative action. According to the McCain campaign, affirmative action only creates more discrimination.
Swear ta dawgs—I don’t see how this is not patently obvious.
