The most qualified person for the job should get the job, regardless of skin color or gender. Many men who are more highly qualified, more educated, and more experienced are being passed over to less qualified women. Unfortunately, today s white males are suffering paying the price of the past s discrimination. The past tells us that women and minorities are historically passed over for jobs in favor of white men. That was the past this is now.
Affirmative action provides for reverse discrimination.
Affirmative action is essentially institutionalized discrimination. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, under title VII states that, it is unlawful for any employer to fail to refuse or hire or discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, or privileges of employment because of such individuals race, color religion, sex or national origin. In fact, when the Civil Rights Act refers to, in this instance, him, it really means woman or minority. Equality also means equal treatment. If women and minority groups wish to be treated the same, affirmative action is another barrier in their way.
