Affirmative

Affirmative is used over radio as “yes”
This is because with most radios, it can be difficult to make out what someone us saying especially if they just say, ”yes.”
Tank commander: (Over radio) “Gunner, see that tree line 12 o’clock?”

Gunner: “Affirmative”

Affirmative Racism

Just as Affirmative Action intends to correct for racial inequality by advantageously treating racial minorities, Affirmative Racism intends to correct for racial inequality by discriminating against the majority race (i.e. white people in most environments where Affirmative Racism occurs). Affirmative Racism is often displayed by the same people saying that you can't be racist against white people.
"It seems like there's now a fair amount of vitriol, online and offline, towards anything that white people say, make, and do. Why's that?"
"It's called Affirmative Racism, and it's a signature move of identity politicians."

Affirmative Action Seating

When a stadium or an arena allocates (and reserves) seats in direct proportion to the demographic composition of a given region.
80,000 seats. 25% Far Eastern composition in let's say Cleveland, Ohio. 20,000 seats allocated to people who originate from the Far East based on Affirmative Action Seating.

Reverse Affirmative Action

By-passing qualified minorities and awarding jobs to less qualified whites. The other side of affirmative action.
Reverse affirmative action is when people with names like John Smith and Jose Ramirez send out the same resume to the same 10 employers. John gets 8 call backs, Jose gets 0.

Affirmative Reaction

When you illegally exclude people from consideration because of their personal political and spiritual and economic beliefs.
Monica could you please explain your employment practices.

Yes, we have affirmative reaction. We exclude everyone who will not agree with us on every decision. We want some one who will not question bad judgement and illegal activities. This is a very open policy, many of these people are highly unqualified, and who would not normally be hired.

affirmative action

A life-line for racists who don't approve of societal integration, especially in what has historically remained white-people sports in recent decades (i.e. hockey, gymnastics).
"Affirmative action is why the (insert ice hockey team name) has a black player."
"Did he make the team over a more qualified white player?"
"Uh...uh... not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case."
