For the most part, I agree. Affirmative action in hiring only serves to promote stereotypes. I wish they'd do away with it so I wouldn't have to deal with people telling me that it'll be omg SO easy for me because I'm a minority. Just treat me the same as everyone else. As it is, the suspicion of my abilities is justified, because most minorities have been let in despite much lower stats in order to satisfy racial/gender quotas and etc. I can't blame people for thinking I might not have gotten in on my own merits when I have no way of telling whether or not I DID get in on my own merits. Don't lower the bar--help us train.
