- Has affirmative action been good for the USA?
- yes
- reversing years of discrimination
- LBJ: "You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still just believe that you have been completely fair."
- AA policies now more subtle
- where AA has banned, EM candidates fallen (cali & texas)
- disputing mismatched theory
- uni of cali - students admitted w/ lower grades don't suffer
- promotes diversity
- supreme court justice Sonia Sotomayor
- recent increased racial tensions mean MORE AA not less
- US army, microsoft, coca cola etc all for AA
- reversing years of discrimination
- no
- AA only really helped the middle class
- too limited - only uni not schools
- lowered aspirations of ethnic minorities (disincentive)
- divisive - doesn't promote harmony & integration
- mismatch effect
- out of date - 1/6 marriages now interracial
- yes
