is affirmative action a policy
Affirmative action is good public policy, because without it, there would be too much discrimination, especially in America. There needs to be some way to measure and prevent discrimination, and while affirmative action may not be the best way of doing it, it's better than nothing.
Affirmative action is a good public policy, because without it, there would be no minorities in the workplace. I here people saying, that you should be hired by your qualification, but what if you have all the necessary qualification but because you are a minority you don't get hired because of the color of your skin.
