> since we were probably "affirmative action" admits [...] Maybe in the workforce it would be better? Nope. I'm seen as a "diversity hire." I'm starting to think there's more harm than good with affirmative action. It creates two categories of devs when looking at internal hiring: people you know are there on merit and people who maybe got a little bit of help from "the quota". I've heard it (in engineering only meetings) "you know this guy is solid, he went to X and he's asian so you know he's there for the right reasons". Something I have to wonder is are women and minorities... ok with this? Obviously the author isn't.
