- devilshaircut 13y agoI don't agree with that premise though. I agree you would end up with a complement of capable employees but it doesn't address culturally-embedded, systemic discrimination. That is what affirmative action is designed to address. I presume to respect your intellect, so I am sure you are aware that access to quality education is problematic for various ethnic and racial groups in the United States (and beyond - but I am specifically addressing affirmative action).
