Affirmative action should not continue

Affirmative action is reverse discrimination. It punishes innocent men and white people for crimes they did not do. Race and gender based affirmative action should not continue for these reasons. 1. Many white people like me have ancestors who fought in the civil war to free slaves. Many of is also have grandparents who supported civil rights in the 1960s. Many of us also have ancestors who worked in the underground rail roads. We are being discriminated against based on what our ancestors fought against. If you are someone with racist ancestors that is not your fault. You weren't alive than and you could not have stopped it. 2. White people have suffered discrimation and even genocide. My grandparents and great uncles and aunts are Crimean Tatars. During ww2 Tatars along with Jews, Polish people and other white people were sent to nazi camps. During ww2 My family lived in a cave and are boiled shoe leather and They worked as slaves in a nazi camp. Compare her to a black person today who wasn't a slave and has not been discriminated against. Since affirmative action is done to make up for passed injustices like slavery isn't discriminating against the person who actually was a Slave unfair?. In Bosnia in the 1990s bosnian Muslims were killed in a genocide. If you are a bosnian muslim who came here after being raped in a rape camp and loosing your family and you are up against a black person who immigrated from Africa, did not suffer from racism like you and is richer and has had more chances wouldn't taking the black person just because of their race be... Cruel?. Most white people don't have slave owning ancestors. Not all black people have slave ancestors or ancestors who were discriminated against here. White people in history have faces problems in America. 70% of white people who came to America between 1607 and 1776 were indentured servants. These servants were treated worse them slaves because slaves were seen as an investment that you wanted to keep healthy to an extranet so they could work for you where as indentured servants would only work for 4-7 years so you wanted to get as much work out of them as possible. Some indentured servants were kidnapped from sure ops the way black people were from Africa though most came over by free wil. Irish people were treated the same wa black people were in America. When it comes to life saving jobs like cops and doctors you want the best, smartest, most qualified and hard working person to be cutting you open or helping you during a time when your life is in danger, not someone who was pretty good but happened to be a women or a minority and aside from race or gender would not have gotten the job. White people and men can suffer from racism (hate crimes), abuse, disease, poverty, mental dowel trees and other problems. Compare them to a rich black women whose had an easy life. Your going to send the poor white men back to the slum to suffer when this job is all he has just because he's white? And take the black women who doesn't need the job? The playing field isn't even in this case. Finally as a g girl I find it offensive that people think I would need extra help when compared to a guy. Black people are not less smart than white people and women aren't less smart than men. America should not have race or gender based affirmative action.
