Affirmative Action

"Affirmative action is intended to promote the opportunities of defined groups within a society. It is often instituted in government and educational settings to ensure that minority groups within a society are included in all programs. The stated justification for affirmative action by its proponents is that it helps to compensate for past discrimination, persecution or exploitation by the ruling class of a culture, and to address existing discrimination. The implementation of affirmative action, especially in the United States, is considered by its proponents to be justified by disparate impact."http://tinyurl.com...1. AA leads to reverse discrimination, and instead of erasing discrimination among Minorities, creates discrimination among Majorities.The only true part of your statement I left uncut. The rest had zero evidence in support for it. And yes it has to create this discrimination in order to help to hugely discriminated minorities.2. AA is tough to remove, once passed. If people were to eventually change their ideals in a state that supports AA, it would be difficult to remove.The first sentence is not relevant as to why AA is wrong in first place just as much as the law "Do not murder" is extremely difficult to remove. The second is false and has zero evidence in support of it.3. It tells Minorities that the only way to succeed is by using benefits such as AA, when true success comes from hard work and patience.First part completely false and unjustified/unsupported and the second part is quite true but irrelevant to this debate.4. Students admitted into a school by AA are often unprepared for the school which they have been admitted to.100% false and unjustified/unsupported.Okay so what are the pros of Affirmative action? http://www.balancedpolitics.org...1. Diversity is desirable and won't always occur if left to chance.While many say that it leads to reverse discrimination what is actually leads to is the reversal of discrimination by adding legal pressure to corporations and institutes to accept the discriminated against in order to let the best of every walk of life get in and succeed, after all variation is an important reason of why the humans dominate the Earth. We need different kinds of people succeeding otherwise we'll end up with many of the same type of people being rich and no variety to compete with.2. Students starting at a disadvantage need a boost.I'd like to see your counter to this as I feel that it is self explanatory.3. Affirmative action draws people to areas of study and work they may never consider otherwise.If every single person of your ethnicity is told they can't dance or sing or whatever but you genetically are predisposed to be the next Christina Aguilera then if a legal block to boost people of your ethnicity up on the employability scale was present you perhaps could better show the world your talents. Everyone wins.4. Some stereotypes may never be broken without affirmative action. I would like my opponent to counter this by showing how if an entire culture and group of employers are disgusted by a particular ethnicity and don't want to hire these people exist then how this would be overcome without affirmative action being present.5. Affirmative action is needed to compensate minorities for centuries of slavery or oppression.This is definitely true and I do not think it can be countered.
