Many minorities, especially African Americans, want revenge on the white race, which is now generations past the days of slavery. Affirmative action is supporting this cause, which is in no way a solution to injustice. This principle is the first of many disadvantages of affirmative action. The dynamic of affirmative action encourage discrimination the very aspect of society that it was intended to eliminate. Such information implies that modern affirmative action programs are unnecessary, for they go over the point of equality into discrimination again.
Affirmative action can have a negative effect on the business economy as well.
Affirmative action can be debilitating on the market in several ways. One obvious effect is the lowering of standards which results in lesser quality products. Employers are forced to be more concerned with diversity hiring than finding the most qualified person for the job. In other words, businesses will have to compete for minorities to fulfill their quotas. As a commodity, minorities will be paid more than a white man for the same labor.
