Like any issue, there are people on both sides of the debate on Affirmative Action. At this time I would like to give you, in a nutshell, the general opinions I have collected from around the interwebs.
For:
- Diversity, while desirable, will not always occur if left to chance
- Some stereotypes will never be broken without Affirmative Action
- It compensates minorities for injustices done to them in the past
- Gives opportunities to people that they may never otherwise receive
Against:
- It leads to reverse discrimination
- Lowers standards of accountability to push students or employees
- It is condescending to minorities and demeans their achievement
- It goes against a color-blind society
