Quotas are set up so that a certain percentage of a workforce must be made up of minorities. These quotas are a form of discrimination in which ethnic minorities are given a higher place than the ethnic majority. Quotas, however, are not a primary part of affirmative action. They are manufactured by organizations in order to insure that there are enough ethnic minorities in the workforce. Even though quotas are used today, they are not a primary part of affirmative action.
Affirmative action is an important step for the American workforce.
Not only does it promote diversity, but it also helps America get over the racial problem. Despite the use of quotas, affirmative action is a viable part of the future of American industry. Only through diversity can we create an open working environment and end the discrimination problem in the United States.
