Here! Here! Affirmative Action is neither Affirmative, nor Action and it has definitely run its course. It angers me more than you can know that because I'm white and my husband is white, he cannot get grants and such because of the color of his skin and his gender....how ridiculous is that? When he got out of high school, he had to join the military in order to get money for school because he is a white male, no grant money was available to him. I don't know about anyone else, but, for me, I want to know that I am awarded a scholarship or job or whatever else based on my merits, not my skin color, race, religion, or sexual preference.
