Amber, while I agree that many people who play the ‘affirmative action card’ are indeed often ignorent individuals who usually can’t accept the fact that someone of a different race was actually more qualified than them, many individuals also have a legitimate complaint. I personally think affirmative action has been handled in the wrong way. Instead of focusing on color at all, we should be focused soley on experience and ability. Affirmative action only increases the differences and tensions between the races instead of trying to honestly unify everyone and make everyone equal.
