This brings us to our current situation. Affirmative action is on its way out and quotas are supposedly no longer used. Many people, however, are not happy with this. They say that affirmative action levels the playing field and that this is necessary if minorities are to have a chance. This is just not true.
Affirmative action is a good idea, but it can only be enforced by using quotas.
There is no other way. Since quotas are discriminatory, affirmative action simply replaces racism with racism. Since this is the case, the only argument for affirmative action becomes a vengeance argument. In essence, saying since you discriminated against us, it is now our turn to discriminate against you. Racism is a serious problem in the United States.
