[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 235240, member: 198"] Affirmative Action, diversity, Equal Opportunity, etc., are just code words for pandering to the minority and/or less deserving. In the end there are one of two, or both, results when these terms are applied. 1) A more deserving person is left out. 2) Someone is descriminated against because they are part of the "majority." The only fair way to chose who gets what is to take the question that asks what race someone is off the applications. This might even work for job applicants but in most cases it makes since for the employer to meet the person before making the final decision. As far as college applications and grant money goes.....leave race out of it. If we are all supposed to be equal than no race should have preferential treatment over another because if we are all equal than the special treatment shouldn't be needed. It's frustrating to work hard at something only to watch someone less deserving get it. It's almost like excelling is wrong in this country. It's better to be average, or less, otherwise you'll get passed over for someone else in the name of diversity or equal opportunity. It's rediculous. [/QUOTE]
