White males have not received the chance to be hired or promoted. Affirmative action has made the job market more competitive but it has not eliminated the job opportunities for white males. Affirmative hiring or promoting is only done when disparities already exist and protected group members are underrepresented in that workforce. I do not discriminate so discrimination is not really my concern. Affirmative action policies are designed to minimize discrimination in employment.
Discrimination hurts everyone.
It causes stress, weakens morale and lowers productivity. It becomes everyone's burden.
