PS - this should be moved to Intellectual Discussion

If you honestly don't think there would be a huge deficit in the hiring of minorities if affirmative action was removed, then you are very misinformed. Most white people are politically correct because they have to be and they don't want to start any confrontations, but take away the consequences and there is no reason for them to hire a minority over another white guy or gal.
