affirmative action (U.S.), action taken to affirm an established policy; spec. positive action by employers to ensure that minority groups are not discriminated against during recruitment or employment - taken from oxford english dictionary
affirmative action is one of the few things minorties have going for them to counter the effects of institutionalized discrimination. It is not racist, beyond popular white belief. the people that think it is racist are those that think "white males" are the most discriminated against(which is obviously bullshet since they are the most higher up in society). Have the skin color "white" does more for a person than any trivial thing like affirmative action.
minorities already have a burden just because they might have different color skin. many white people(not all) just cannot stand the thought of other groups having a slight advantage(which it really isnt since so few minorities compared to others actually get to get into those institutions that it counters the belief that a black person is taking a job etc from a white person because of the fact that the workplace, college is probably already 70%+ white)

did u know that after the civil rights acts of the 60s, it only took 14 years, 14 freaking years for a white person to bring up a case of reverse discrimination. think about it Black people have had practically no rights for like 300 yrs in the country and 250 of them they were slaves, and when they actually get some "rights" it only takes white people not even 20 years to start protesting about it.
Affirmative Action may take a couple of hundred white, asian people out of jobs or schools but compared to the millions of minorities that do not even get the chance to be in the position of getting affirmative action, those poor poor white asian people losing to an under represented minority really dont deserve pity.
im asian and yea it sucks that it goes against me but hey its cuz asians are perceived as overachieving and colleges probably think they have too much asians so thats a reason why it would affect us. but colleges can never have too many white people thats for sure.
ps. white people do not worry you are still in power, the world is not out to get you, your skin color does much much more than anything like affirmative action can do.

Get the Action mug.Messing around in a stupid fashion in the West of Ireland can be called cunt acting. Wasting ones time on a job that's too hard for to them like fitting a window without having a concept of what the job entails. Or messing around when there's a serious job to be done. Finally when your Gaelic football coach is unhappy with the teams performance and screams from the sidelines in anger and despair for the team to stp the cunt acting
Example1 John: Where's Tommy?
Sean: Trying to fix car.
John: He hasn't a fucking clue what he's at he's only cunt acting
Example2 Person 1:Give me a hand with this will you?
Person 2: We'll be there in a minute we're trying to sell fireworks to these kids.
Person 1: Aww Lads!! Stop the fuck acting will you?! We have to be finished here by 12
Example 3 Coach:Jesus lads we're 14 points down stop the fuck acting for shite's sake
Sean: Trying to fix car.
John: He hasn't a fucking clue what he's at he's only cunt acting

Affirmative Action is good. White ppl claims that it somehow makes life harder for them is totally wrong and is bull shit.
all the statistics prove that the affect it has on white ppl not gettin into jobs, colleges is not significant at all. very small.
