[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who made hiring decisions based on affirmative action - some applicants would have made it anyway and others were hired because we were looking to have more diversity - what I can say categorically is that one of the downsides of AA is that it casts a shadow on the minorities who are hired irrespective of whether they actually received preference. The end result is that they all end up being painted with this broad brush of being given preferential treatment whether that is true or not. Did the Obamas get into the prestigious schools they attended because of their race? We really have no idea one way or the other. I can tell you that my grandson who is bi-racial would not have got into the school he is attending if he had been white. I fully supported his decision to use his minority status to give him an edge but why should anyone be surprised if down the line he is viewed as someone who got in because of his race? The unfortunate thing is that even if he had received admission purely on merit, he'd still be viewed by some as being a product of affirmative action.[/quote] Well just encourage your grandson not to go around bragging about how big his hands are and grabbing women by the pussy whenever he feels like it. That's a little too narcissistic don't you think? [/quote]
